The first step is to come and chat with us! We offer a free initial consultation where we find out more about you, your concerns, goals and to give you some information on what is possible for you to think about.
NHS Orthodontic Treatments
We are proud to be one of the biggest providers of NHS braces in Lancashire. Your eligibility for NHS braces depends on your age and position of the teeth and this is confirmed when you are initially assessed.
The braces provided on the NHS are the traditional ‘train track’ metal braces with small metal squares attached to each tooth and a wire running across them. Technology means that these are much smaller in size now than they used to be!
The small squares stay glued on the teeth but the wire is changed throughout treatment and small elastics around the squares are changed at each visit. One of the best parts is that you can choose from lots of different colours including a grey colour for a subtle look, as well as bright colours.
The first step is for your dentist to refer you to us for an assessment to check whether you qualify for NHS braces and also to check that your teeth are suitable for braces.
Retainers
If you need a new set of fixed or removable retainers, we can help. Even if your original treatment was not done at Rossendale Dental Health Centre, please contact us for information on how we can help.
To prevent the teeth from moving back to their original positions and becoming crooked again, retainers are usually provided at the end of orthodontic treatment. Instructions on how much to wear these and how to look after them is also provided.
Retainers can be removable or fixed and the type that each patient needs is determined by the orthodontist depending on the teeth position.
Retainers need to be worn for life to maintain the corrected teeth positions as the teeth can move at any age! The original set of retainers provided at the start of treatment will not last forever, so it is important to replace or maintain them to keep them working properly. If you think your retainers may need repair or replacement, please get in touch with us.
