Braces are a system of metal wires and brackets attached to your teeth. The wires are systematically adjusted, combined with elastics, to guide the alignment process.

BEFORE & AFTER
Why is teeth aligning important?
Having straight teeth boosts confidence and self-esteem and can lead to positive physical outcomes. For example, misaligned teeth and jaws can cause headaches, neck and facial pain, soreness, and muscle exhaustion. More importantly, straight, aligned teeth last longer. Proper alignment assists in maintaining natural and restored teeth, as straight teeth are easier to clean and maintain. Moreover, our teeth and jaws function better and wear evenly, reducing the risk of fractures and cracks.
When is the right time for me or my children to get braces?
Ideally, your first teeth-alignment consultation should occur when you’re seven years old, when you have a mix of both adult and baby teeth. From there, we can create a dental plan to assess and monitor teeth movement and growth as you age.
However, if you find yourself in adulthood without ever monitoring your teeth alignment, it’s not too late. In fact, there is always time for your first visit. Dental appointments are essential to assess the alignment of your teeth and jaw – which, when misaligned, can cause pain and damage to your teeth.
If the thought of your first orthodontist visit gives you anxiety, let us ease your mind, as there’s nothing to be afraid of.
At Maidstone Dental, when you walk through our doors, we will always go above and beyond to ensure that you feel comfortable and safe. In general, the first visit is made up of three components:
EXAMINATION
TREATMENT PLAN

Dr. Marcus is fantastic. He is kind, calm and extremely gentle with my teeth, I couldn’t recommend him more for someone who is scared of the pain associated with dental appointments. The clinic is a bit on the pricey side but it’s worth it for the service. And a TV on the roof is cool too lol.

Dr Tu Anh Pham is the best dentist I have ever had. She explains things well and makes sure you know what is happening throughout your appointment. She is also the gentlest dentist I have ever been to! I highly recommend her - especially for people who don’t like going to the dentist!

Best dental experience I have ever had. The clinic have a really holistic approach to dental with weighted blankets and a Tv screen on the roof when you recline to watch calming nature documentaries. Would definitely recommend if you are anxious about going to the dentist!

I had Marcus for the first time as my dentist and he was so nice and calm. He voice is so soothing and knows what he is doing. He listens and understands the customers needs and has a excellent helper on the side! Vanessa was also a brilliant lady, helping Marcus with cleaning and assisting the mouth. Lovely experience for the first time too and will definitely come back for a check-up again in a few months.
