[GARFORTH, 04/09/2017] Sophy not only works at Enhancedental, she also treats people with misaligned teeth and bites at Leeds Dental Institute and is busy doing a PhD as well. Her life is all about teeth and braces. This means that when people bring their children to get braces in Leeds at Enhancedental, they know their youngsters are being seen by someone who really knows what they are doing and how important good braces are.

Time is of the essence

Children can sometimes get braces on the NHS, but the truth is their misalignment has to be pretty serious and, even then, there is a long waiting list because so little funding is available. If the issues involve realignment of the jaws in some way, this has to be done by a certain age because the bone in the jaw sets hard in the late teens. This is why many parents would rather come to see Sophy at Enhancedental for braces while there is still plenty of time for their child to receive the braces treatment they need.

Not just for kids

Adults also need braces. At Enhancedental, more and more adult patients are choosing to have the braces treatment they missed out on as a child. Others had braces, but, because they weren’t disciplined enough after teenage treatment, their teeth have shifted back. The great thing about teeth is that braces at Enhancedental can move them at any age. It is only the jaw that sets hard, the teeth will move with sustained pressure. Sometimes they also drift around if there is a gap from a missing tooth. Thus, older patients who have lost teeth can also have braces at Enhancedental, and this might well be necessary if they now want to have the missing teeth replaced with dental implants.

Enhancedental offers a variety of braces systems, from the traditional to the innovative, the obvious to the as good as invisible. Patients are encouraged to see Sophy for a consultation at Enhancedental to find out what braces could do for them.
