Orthodontics
The carefully planned orthodontic treatments at our dental clinic near Rugby help improve tooth alignment and bite over time, guided by clinical assessment for comfort, controlled movement, and realistic outcomes.
Align teeth the traditional way
Traditional fixed braces are a long-established method for straightening teeth, used successfully for many years.
With fixed braces, small brackets are bonded to each tooth and connected with a wire, which may be metal or tooth-coloured. Your dentist will assess whether this treatment is suitable for you.
Fixed braces are highly effective and are often more cost-effective than clear aligners. However, they require careful cleaning and good oral hygiene, as food can become trapped around the brackets. Regular hygienist visits may also be recommended. They are more visible compared to clear aligner systems.
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners are a popular modern method of straightening teeth. At Thatch House Dental, we offer a range of aligner systems to suit different needs and budgets.
One key advantage is their discreet appearance, allowing you to straighten your teeth with minimal visibility.
They are also removable, making eating and cleaning your teeth much easier compared to fixed braces.
Because there are no brackets or wires, fewer adjustment appointments are typically needed, reducing time spent in the dental practice.
