Parkside Dental Practice is pleased to offer a comprehensive orthodontic service. The Team is lead by Mr Jonathon Pugh who has many years experience in providing orthodontic treatment. All the dentists at Parkside are general practitioners with a keen interest in orthodontic treatments.
If your dentist refers you to our practice you will be invited to attend for an initial assessment. At this appointment we will discuss possible orthodontic treatments. To help prepare for this visit please would you read the enclosed information in our most “frequently asked questions”.
We will endeavour to answer any further questions or concerns you may have. By attending for an initial assessment you are in no way committed to accepting treatment. However if you really feel “braces” are not for you we will be of little help!
For many, orthodontic treatment simply means wearing a brace. Easy, no big deal. Unfortunately the reality can be quite different, whilst orthodontics has a lot to offer, it is not without potential problems and will require a major commitment from you. Orthodontic treatment takes time and it is not unusual to be in treatment for several years. Regular appointments are necessary and this may mean taking time off work or school.
Please bring a tooth brush to all your visits to our practice as we like to examine clean teeth and often use disclosing solution. Keeping your teeth clean during your treatment is very important to prevent tooth decay or gum disease.
Radiance Brackets
...Radiance is confidence...
Every Radiance bracket is a polished jewel, made from a single crystal of pure grown sapphire, the second hardest mineral known to man. Each crystal is honed and then heat polished into a superbly smooth, incredibly clear, and astoundingly strong bracket. Once bonded, Radiance is nearly invisible on the tooth.
Smooth comfort
The brackets give full comfort and you will love wearing them. Radiance is smooth to the touch making them safe and comfortable.
Invisible
The brackets are nearly invisible and will give you the extra confidence in work and social situations.
No staining
Not only will your brackets look great, the good thing is that they will stay that way. Radiance's monocrystalline structure and highly polished surface serve as barriers to undesirable staining elements.
