A visit to the orthodontist in Harley Street can have a huge impact on your life. If you’ve ever covered your face when you talk or held back on laughter or smiles because of wonky Teeth, it could change all that.

Having crooked or crowded teeth doesn’t just dent your self-confidence, it can also affect how you relate to others. If you don’t feel able to smile a genuine and warm smile, others will subconsciously register you as unfriendly. They don’t know you are embarrassed by your teeth. All they pick up on is the lack of a smile, and they won’t even know they are doing it.

Humans are subconsciously programmed to respond to smiles within a split second of meeting someone new. Without that response, we don’t feel as open towards the other person and we won’t necessarily even know why. This could be having a big effect on your personal and professional life.

What happens at the orthodontist in Harley Street?

Orthodontic treatment is complex and multi-layered and can take 2-3 years to complete, but it’s worth it for a lifetime of happy smiles. The orthodontist in Harley Street is aiming to bring your teeth and jaws into balance, to improve both the health and appearance of your smile. There are a variety of dental appliances they use to do this job, including:

• clear braces that blend in with the teeth
• transparent plastic aligners that fit over the teeth like thin mouth guards
• lingual braces that fit behind the teeth
• bracket and wire braces that are great for resolving complex misalignments of the jaw.

Jaw realignment needs to happen before age 18, as the bone sets solid once we enter adulthood. The teeth can move around in the jaw at any age, however, so braces are useful for adults as well as children.

An adult is more likely to see the orthodontist in Harley Street for cosmetic issues with their teeth, which can be resolved ever more discreetly these days.
