Orthodontics

At Halo Dental, our orthodontic treatments in Sevenoaks are designed to help patients of all ages achieve straighter, healthier smiles. Whether you are considering traditional braces or clear aligners, seeing an orthodontist can make a lasting difference to both appearance and oral health.

What is an Orthodontist?

An orthodontist is a dentist who focuses on diagnosing and treating problems with tooth alignment and jaw position. Orthodontic care involves using braces, aligners, or other appliances to gently guide teeth into the correct position. This helps improve both the look and function of your smile. At Halo Dental in Sevenoaks, our orthodontic treatments are tailored to each patient's needs, ensuring safe and effective care.

Benefits and Suitability

Orthodontic treatment can benefit patients who have:

• Crowded or overlapping teeth.
• Gaps between teeth.
• Bite problems such as overbite, underbite, or crossbite.
• Concerns about their smile's appearance or function.

Treatment can make cleaning teeth easier, reduce the risk of uneven wear, and improve confidence in your smile. At Halo Dental, we welcome children, teenagers, and adults who are considering orthodontic treatment. Your dentist will carefully assess your needs and recommend suitable options.

The Treatment Process

Your orthodontic journey begins with an initial consultation. During this appointment, your dentist will take scans, X-rays, or impressions to assess your teeth and bite. A personalised treatment plan is then created, which may involve braces or clear aligners like Invisalign. Once treatment begins, regular check-ups at Halo Dental in Sevenoaks ensure your progress is monitored, and adjustments are made where needed. The length of treatment varies, but most patients complete their orthodontic care within 6-24 months.

Aftercare & Next Steps

After treatment, retainers are provided to maintain your new smile. Good oral hygiene and routine dental visits will keep your teeth healthy and stable. To explore orthodontic treatment in Sevenoaks, book a consultation at Halo Dental today.
