Orthodontic Braces in Plymouth – Treatment for All Ages

At Larkham House Dental Practice, we believe a confident smile has no age limit. Orthodontic treatment isn’t just for children and teenagers—adult orthodontics is one of the fastest-growing areas of our practice. More adults than ever are choosing to straighten their teeth, improve their bite, and feel more confident with modern, discreet orthodontic solutions.

Whether you missed out on braces when you were younger, have noticed your teeth shifting over time, or are planning further cosmetic or restorative dental treatment, our experienced team is here to help.

Who Can Benefit from Orthodontic Treatment?

Orthodontic braces are suitable for children, teenagers, and adults alike. At Larkham House, we commonly treat:

  • Adults who didn’t qualify for NHS orthodontic treatment in their youth
  • Patients experiencing relapse after previous orthodontic treatment
  • Individuals unhappy with the alignment or appearance of their smile
  • Patients preparing for restorative treatments such as dental implants, crowns, or veneers

Thanks to advances in modern orthodontics, treatment is now more comfortable, efficient, and discreet than ever before.

Why Consider Orthodontic Treatment?

Orthodontics is about far more than just improving appearance—it plays a vital role in your long-term oral health.

Benefits of treatment include:

  • A straighter, more balanced and attractive smile
  • Improved bite function for easier chewing and speaking
  • Better oral hygiene, as aligned teeth are easier to clean
  • Reduced strain on teeth and jaw joints caused by misalignment
  • Increased confidence and overall wellbeing
  • Improved preparation for restorative or cosmetic dental treatments
  • Reduced need for invasive procedures such as enamel reduction

Orthodontic treatment provides a strong foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles.

Are There Alternatives to Braces?

For mild cosmetic concerns, alternative treatments may be available, such as:

While these options can improve the appearance of your smile, they often require the removal of healthy tooth structure and do not correct underlying bite or alignment issues.

For long-term, comprehensive results, orthodontic treatment is usually the most effective solution. We’re always happy to discuss all options during your consultation and help you make the right choice for your needs.
