What is orthodontic treatment?

Orthodontic treatment uses braces or aligners to move teeth gradually into a better position. It straightens crooked or crowded teeth, closes gaps and improves the way your top and bottom teeth bite together. Straighter teeth are also easier to keep clean.

At Cheadle Dental Practice we offer several teeth straightening systems, so your dentist can match the treatment to your teeth, your lifestyle and your budget.

Which teeth straightening option is right for you?

Clear aligners

Clear aligners are transparent, removable trays that fit over your teeth. Because they are nearly invisible and come out for eating and brushing, they are the most popular choice for adults. 

The Inman Aligner

The Inman Aligner is a single removable appliance that straightens the front top and bottom teeth. It needs no extractions and works quickly, typically in 6 to 12 weeks depending on complexity, which makes it a good option before a wedding or other event.

Fixed braces

Fixed braces use brackets and wires attached to the teeth. They give the dentist the most control, so they are used for more complex crowding and bite correction.

Problems braces can correct

• Crowding: teeth that overlap because there is not enough room.
• Gaps: spaces between teeth, most often the two upper front teeth.
• Overbite: the upper front teeth sit too far in front of the lower teeth.
• Underbite: the lower teeth sit in front of the upper teeth.
• Crossbite: some upper teeth bite inside the lower teeth.
• Open bite: the front teeth do not meet when the back teeth are closed.
