The path to your greatest smile

Invisaline clear aligners treat the following conditions:

Crowded Teeth

Crowded teeth, a prevalent dental concern, arise when there isn’t sufficient space within the jaw to accommodate all of one’s teeth in their proper alignment. This crowding can lead to teeth that overlap, twist, or jut out, often compromising not only the aesthetics of one’s smile but also the overall oral health. Crowded teeth can make maintaining proper dental hygiene challenging, as overlapping areas might be difficult to clean thoroughly, making them susceptible to plaque accumulation, cavities, and gum disease. Furthermore, the misalignment can lead to uneven wear, increased susceptibility to chipping or breaking, and even problems with bite and jaw alignment. As such, addressing crowded teeth is crucial not just for cosmetic reasons but also for the preservation of one’s dental health.

Overbite

An overbite, a common orthodontic issue, refers to the extent to which the upper front teeth overlap the lower front teeth. While a slight overbite is typical and can even be considered desirable, a pronounced overbite can pose several challenges. Aesthetically, a significant overbite might alter the profile of one’s face, often making the chin appear receded. Functionally, it can lead to complications such as difficulty in biting or chewing food, speech impediments, and increased wear on the lower front teeth. Moreover, a severe overbite can result in discomfort or even pain, as the misalignment can strain the jaw muscles, potentially leading to temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJ). Addressing an overbite, therefore, is essential not just to enhance one’s smile but also to mitigate potential dental and health issues.

Underbite

An underbite, characterised by the lower front teeth sitting in front of the upper front teeth, is a distinct orthodontic anomaly that can present various challenges. From an aesthetic standpoint, an underbite can give the face a ‘bulldog’ appearance, altering the facial profile and sometimes impacting self-confidence. Beyond cosmetics, underbites can usher in functional issues, ranging from difficulties in articulating certain words to challenges with properly chewing food. Additionally, this misalignment can lead to uneven wear on teeth, increasing the risk of tooth decay and gum disease due to the altered bite dynamics. In more severe cases, an underbite can also strain the jaw and facial muscles, potentially leading to chronic pain or temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJ). Addressing an underbite is crucial to ensure both the health of one’s oral cavity and overall well-being.

Crossbite

A crossbite is an orthodontic condition where some of the upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth rather than outside, as is typical. This misalignment, which can occur on one or both sides of the jaw, can be the result of a combination of jaw misalignment and irregularities in teeth positioning. Aesthetically, a crossbite can distort the symmetry of one’s smile and, over time, lead to a noticeable asymmetry in the structure of the face. Beyond the visual implications, crossbites can introduce a myriad of functional challenges. These range from uneven wear and tear on the teeth, increasing the risk of enamel erosion, to potential chewing difficulties. Moreover, persistent crossbites can contribute to gum recession, increase susceptibility to gum disease, and even lead to issues like temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJ). Addressing a crossbite is, therefore, paramount to maintaining optimal oral health and ensuring facial balance.

Open Bite

An open bite is an orthodontic irregularity where, upon closure, the front teeth, either in the upper or lower jaw, or both, don’t make contact with their opposing counterparts. Visually, this creates a noticeable gap or opening between the upper and lower front teeth even when the mouth is fully closed. From an aesthetic standpoint, an open bite can sometimes alter the shape of one’s smile and profile, often leading to self-consciousness. Functionally, individuals with an open bite may experience challenges ranging from difficulty biting and chewing certain foods to speech impediments, especially with sounds that require the front teeth to meet. Prolonged open bite conditions can also lead to undue stress on the back teeth, as they bear the brunt of biting and chewing, which can escalate wear and risk of dental issues. Addressing an open bite is vital not only for restoring the harmony of one’s smile but also for overall dental functionality and health.

Gap Teeth

Gap teeth, medically termed as diastema, refers to the noticeable space or gap between two teeth, most commonly observed between the two upper front teeth. While in many cultures and regions, gap teeth are embraced as a unique feature, adding character to one’s smile, others might perceive it as an aesthetic concern, impacting self-esteem. From a functional standpoint, gaps might increase the risk of food particles getting trapped, potentially leading to gum problems or decay if oral hygiene isn’t meticulous. Furthermore, underlying issues, such as an oversized labial frenum, the tissue that extends from the inside of the upper lip to the gum just above the front teeth, might be the cause of the gap. In other cases, gaps result from smaller teeth relative to the available jaw space. Addressing gap teeth, especially if they result from underlying dental conditions, is crucial to ensure optimal dental health and achieve a harmonious smile.

'Goofy Teeth'

“Goofy teeth” is an informal term often used to describe upper front teeth, typically the incisors, that protrude noticeably outward or are overly prominent, giving them a bucked appearance. While the term originates from the cartoon character Goofy, in dental circles, it’s more commonly referred to as an overjet or pronounced dental protrusion. Aesthetically, people with pronounced goofy teeth might feel self-conscious about their smile, which can impact their self-esteem and confidence in social situations. Beyond cosmetics, teeth that protrude excessively can be more susceptible to injury or trauma, especially in sports or accidents. Additionally, such misalignment can cause bite issues, leading to uneven wear on other teeth or difficulties in articulating certain sounds. Addressing the issue of goofy teeth, either through orthodontic treatments or dental procedures, ensures not only an improved appearance but also enhances oral functionality and health.

Rated 5 out of 5

Highly recommend- I could not be happier with the treatment I have received so far at Maycroft. Carina is genuine and straight up she will not sugar coat anything! My mouth has been in a state and after my visit with carina a plan was agreed and I was receiving treatment the next day!! My appointment was with Gemma and I can honestly say she’s the most reassuring, gentle and calming dentist I’ve come across, she genuinely cares for you as a patient and puts you at complete ease. I really did think my teeth were past help but both carina and Gemma have tailored a plan for me and already there’s huge a difference in my gums. I’m excited to be able to start smiling again so thank you all at Maycroft and especially Carina and Gemma for giving me the confidence I’ve so desperately needed.

Having been fearful of dentists for a while, I had to visit as I was suffering pain. I had to have two fillings. Both Gemma and Liv were excellent and reassured me as I received the treatment. I needed quite a lot of local to help me deal with it, and they kept persevering as my body fought the medication off. They remained patient throughout, allowing me to feel less stressed. Eventually, when I had enough anesthetic, the procedure was carried out quickly and professionally, making sure I was OK throughout. I would recommend it for those who are anxious about the dentist.

Visited Maycroft for some private work and the first two visits have been great, staff are absolutely amazing, reassuring and professional. Gemma did a great job today and I really appreciated her work and Liv has a great chair manner, Rachel has been a diamond with booking appointment and being on hand to go above and beyond to help. Carina is a dentist who truly cares about teeth willing to go the extra mile to save teeth other dentist had given up on. Look forward to returning and would recommend anyone to use this practice their service so far has been brilliant thank you so much!
