Collaborative Care for Optimal Results

We believe in a holistic approach to orthodontics, integrating the expertise of our specialist team to provide well-rounded treatment solutions. Dr Mohsin Chaudhary, our specialist in children’s dentistry, collaborates closely with Dr Crasta to guide young patients through early intervention orthodontics (dentofacial orthopaedics). This ensures children receive the right support from an early age, setting them up for a lifetime of healthy, well-aligned teeth. Our multidisciplinary team also works with restorative specialists for complex cases requiring comprehensive bite rehabilitation.

Orthodontic Treatment Options

We provide a range of advanced orthodontic solutions, custom-tailored to each patient’s unique needs. Whether you’re seeking discreet treatment or traditional fixed braces, we have options to suit your lifestyle and preferences.

Fixed Braces:
- Metal Braces – The most durable and cost-effective option, offering excellent control for precise tooth movement.
- Ceramic Braces – A more discreet alternative with tooth-coloured brackets for a less noticeable appearance.
- Lingual Braces – Completely hidden from view, these braces are placed behind the teeth for a truly invisible treatment option.

Invisalign® Clear Aligners – For those looking for a more flexible and nearly invisible orthodontic solution, Invisalign® treatment at 78MPR provides a modern alternative to braces. Using 3D digital scanning technology, we can create a precise, customised plan, including a ClinCheck simulation that lets you preview your final smile before starting treatment. Invisalign aligners are removable, comfortable, and virtually undetectable, making them a popular choice for both teens and adults.

Early Intervention Orthodontics

Interceptive orthodontic treatment at 78MPR Dental Practice, Tunbridge Wells helps guide jaw development and tooth alignment in younger patients, reducing the need for more complex treatments later in life. By identifying and addressing orthodontic concerns early, we can influence proper jaw growth, improve facial harmony, and create space for permanent teeth to erupt correctly.

Our treatment options include:

RME (Rapid Maxillary Expander) Appliance – Used to widen the upper jaw, improving bite alignment and breathing.
Functional Appliances – Such as twin block appliances, designed to correct jaw discrepancies and encourage proper bite development.
Space Maintainers – To preserve space for permanent teeth following early tooth loss.

Early intervention can make a significant difference in a child’s long-term oral health.
