Modern technologies have given us at Sandown Dental the opportunity to offer safe and effective orthodontic treatment to more people of different ages than ever before. It is thanks to these new treatments that adults who may have previously been hesitant to straighten their teeth, for fear of being seen in a traditional set of metal braces, are now able to undergo corrective orthodontic treatment at a dentist in East Belfast with complete peace of mind that they can do so discreetly and easily.

Options for your orthodontic care

We have left traditional braces in the past where they belong, and embraced the new technologies that are at the pinnacle of orthodontic care. Our clear braces, and famous Invisalign options are available to you at your dentist in East Belfast on a payment plan that suits your pocket.

Clear braces with Six-Month-Smiles – As the name suggests, this treatment can straighten your teeth in as little as 6 months. If you are planning for an important event like a wedding then you can give yourself the correct amount of time for the treatment to work in time for your big day thus ensuring your beautifully straight smile will be immortalized in photographs for years to come.

This treatment uses clear aligners that clip comfortably over your teeth and no one can even see you are wearing anything. The aligners gently push your teeth into the correct position leaving you with a much better and straighter alignment of the teeth which in the end is far healthier for you.

Invisalign – With state-of-the-art 3D imaging technology, we are able to create a set of clear aligners for you at your dentist in East Belfast with absolute precision. The technology allows us to create a simulation of how your teeth will look after treatment and exactly how long it will take. More complicated cases can take up to 9-12 months while simpler cases can be done in under 4.

These simulations are also used to custom make a set of aligners for the full course of treatment which allows you to comfortably change them at home every 1-2 weeks depending on how you’ve been instructed.

As the name suggests these clear aligners are practically invisible and fit easily into anyone’s lifestyle no matter how active or professional you are. This removable appliance makes it easy to eat normally, clean your teeth properly, and even take part in sports without concern.

After treatment

Retainers – When your orthodontic treatment is complete you will need a set of retainers (worn for a specified amount of hours a day, usually while you sleep) in order to maintain the alignment in order to prevent your teeth going back to their original positions.

Free teeth whitening – A perfectly straight smile is not complete until it’s made white and bright with our free teeth whitening at the end of every orthodontic treatment. This will give you that final bit of confidence you need to smile big and broad and take on life with a new sense of self-assurance.
