Rural Charm and Hospitality
West Malling is a pretty, sleepy town in the district of Kent. It’s an area renowned for its natural splendour and rich history, steeped in real charm and quaintness. Also in the area is Kent Life, an open-air museum, family park and heritage centre with attractions to please all ages. Whilst it is an area of much historical interest and significance, there are also many of the contemporary attractions one might expect to find in any other large 21st century town, including many award-winning restaurants, cafes, medical and dental practitioners.
For those seeking braces in Kings Hill, there are some highly renowned practices which offer a level of care and consideration befitting the charming and friendly surroundings.
A Dentist with A Personal Touch-Kings Hill
One such dental practitioner is One Smile Oral Care, who have been committed to providing the residents of Kings Hill with a bespoke, tailored, patient orientated dental service like no other. It is the belief and ethos of head dental practitioner Dr Ben Mortazavi that each patient brings with them an entirely new set of challenges and obstacles, and that as no two sets of teeth are identical, nor should be any two forms of treatment.
One Smile Oral Care offer a dental service that is catered to the individual needs and requirements of each patient, rather than adopting the one-size-fits-all approach which has become all too common in practices across the country. Treatment at One Smile Oral Care is only carried out by a practitioner whom the patient trusts and shares a good rapport with, and only commences after lengthy informal consultations which cover the basis of any procedure which would be best suited to the needs of the patient.
Bringing Teeth Closer Together
Installation of dental braces is a largely popular procedure on offer at One Smile Oral Care. Braces are used as a method of orthodontics to realign crooked or overlapping teeth by attaching metal braces to the front of them, this gradually pulls them to their correct specifications over the duration of treatment.
Orthodontic braces consist of two primary components, namely the brackets which are fused to the front of a patient’s teeth, and the main archwire which connects them together. The bracket is a piece of ceramic or metal with is fixed to the front of each individual tooth, and the archwire is bent to meet the brackets around the contours of the patient’s teeth. When worn, the pressure from the archwire slowly moves the teeth into their correct position.
Metal braces are the most common and popular method of orthodontics for children and teenagers, and are often referred to as ‘train-tracks’. Whilst effective, studies have shown that many young people feel embarrassed by having braces and as such clear or tooth coloured brackets are often used to make the braces less detectable.
Treatment through orthodontic braces can have a massively positive effect on both the outward appearance of patients, as well as restoring their self-esteem and confidence by affording them the ability to smile their fullest smile – without the potential embarrassment of exposing any crooked or misshapen teeth.
