The UK is currently under government lockdown meaning a lot of orthodontic practices, including Oldham Orthodontics, have been closed.
It has been our top priority to ensure patients are updated as and when we get more information from the government, but we understand some of you may be worried.
We hope this blog will provide some clarity to the situation we are in and put your mind at rest in terms of your orthodontic treatment.
As a child, you are usually encouraged by your dentist to start brace treatment free on the NHS so that your teeth can be straightened before your 18th birthday. After, you will have to pay for further dental and orthodontic work you have done. In this blog, we discuss what is the best age for you to start brace treatment.
Crooked teeth can cause many problems, so getting them fixed will be beneficial. Your teeth, gums and jaw muscles can start to wear. Your teeth may become cracked and you may feel some strain to your jaw. Depending on the severity of your case, you may experience some minor speech problems because your teeth can affect the way you sound.
