Let’s discover your dream smile together
You will meet with our treatment coordinator in a non-clinical setting. They will discuss your medical and dental history and go through a smile questionnaire to help us get an understanding of your concerns and build a picture of your requirements.
During your chat with our treatment co-ordinator we will talk through how Invisalign works, the estimated length of treatment and the associated costs, as well as the payment plans we have available.
If you wish to find out more, we will then book you in for an appointment with our specialist orthodontist who will take a digital scan of your teeth and show you, in 3D, a simulated image of how your teeth will look after treatment. This helps you to visualise the final outcome, helping you to decide whether you want to go ahead with treatment.
Once you have discussed all your options and decided that fixed braces treatment is for you, our treatment coordinator will provide any further information you may require and book your first appointment here in Crouch End. We will book you in as soon as possible!
Today is the day! You will come to the practice to have your fixed braces fitted by our specialist orthodontist, Dr Farooq Ahmed. This is a very comfortable procedure, and it doesn’t take very long at all. We will also explain how to clean and look after your braces and teeth during your treatment.
We will schedule regular appointments to enable your dental team to check the progress of your treatment and adjust the wires on your fixed braces. This helps the teeth to move gently and gradually into the final desired position over time. We will also fix any broken braces or wires too – it sometimes happens!
Once your treatment is complete, we will take clinical photos to compare your before and after result. You will have fixed retainers fitted on the back of your teeth as part of your treatment package. You will also have removable retainers to wear as often as your orthodontist recommends.
Fixed ceramic braces are clear or tooth coloured meaning that they are very discreet and many of our patients tell us that people don’t even notice they are wearing them.
Ceramic braces are made up of small brackets that are fixed to the front of the teeth and a thin wire that fits onto the brackets. Both the wire and the brackets are clear or tooth coloured, making the braces very hard to distinguish.
Traditional methods of orthodontics are used with ceramic braces, meaning they are very effective at straightening teeth and treatment times can be much faster than you may expect.
At Treehouse Dental, we also provide lingual braces, which are fitted to the back of the teeth. Positioning the braces here means that they are completely undetectable and no one will be able to tell you are having treatment.
Lingual braces work in a similar manner to other forms of fixed braces, with a series of brackets fitted to the teeth and a wire to connect them – the difference is that this all happens on the back of the teeth.
Your orthodontist will be able to tell you if lingual braces are suitable for your unique needs, and will be able to discuss this type of treatment in comparison to other orthodontic systems that we have available in Crouch End.
Metal braces are the most traditional type of orthodontics available. They consist of silver metal brackets fitted to the front of the teeth, with a silver wire connecting them.
Many adults are now opting for metal braces as there is less stigma now about having dental treatment. These traditional braces are especially effective for more complex cases.
Fixed braces treatment costs starting from £1,995. The price range depends on your exact treatment needs and we will be able to give you a clear indication of the price during your free consultation.
As the braces will be fixed to your teeth, you do have to give some thought to your diet during treatment. Especially crunchy, chewy, or sticky foods are unsuitable as they may become stuck in, or break, your braces.
You can brush your teeth for two minutes, twice a day as normal and we also recommend carrying a toothbrush with you as food may get trapped in your braces during the day time. It is possible to buy small brushes to clean around your braces, our hygiene team will be able to show you how. As you will not be able to use regular dental floss, we recommend using interdental brushes to clean between the teeth daily.
When your braces are first fitted or the wires adjusted, your teeth may ache a little at first. This eases quite quickly, and is easily managed with over-the-counter painkillers, such as paracetamol. Sometimes fixed braces can rub on your cheeks, we will provide you with special wax to help prevent this.
I became a patient of Dr Laith Abbas after I needed an emergency appointment on a Saturday as I had an abyss, he saw me within an hour of calling. After that I became a regular patient and have had a wisdom tooth extraction (which was painless by a specialist dentist), a fixed brace (by Dr Farooq), teeth whitening as well as many other treatments including crowns and fillings. The surgery will make sure you get an appointment when you need it and will ensure you're never in pain when having treatments. This is best dentist I have ever had and will continue to see him for as long as possible.
