Orthodontics in Ashburton
If you’re bothered by the look of crowded teeth, gaps, or you have bite concerns that affect how you chew or speak, orthodontic care may offer a path to a healthier, more confident smile. Aesthetic Mee Dental Surgery uses modern, clear aligners and traditional braces to guide your teeth into better alignment, which may help improve function, make oral hygiene easier, and help you feel more comfortable with your smile.
Many Options to Fit Your Lifestyle
We offer Invisalign® clear aligners and traditional braces, each designed to move teeth in a way that suits different needs and lifestyles. Clear aligners are digitally made clear trays you wear about 22 hours a day, removing them only for meals and brushing. They are a discreet, hygiene-friendly choice that works well for many teens and adults.
Traditional braces, with brackets and wires, are often used to address a wide range of alignment and bite concerns. With braces, you’ll learn to brush and floss around the hardware, and your dentist may ask you to wear rubber bands as prescribed to fine-tune your bite.
Both approaches may help improve tooth alignment and bite function. We’ll help you choose the most suitable option for your mouth, goals, budget, and comfort.
What to Expect During Care
Braces and aligners require a short adjustment period, typically a few days after placement, as your mouth adapts. With Invisalign, success depends on wearing your aligners exactly as directed.
For braces, being mindful of what you eat helps protect your brackets. Avoid very hard or sticky foods, continue thorough brushing and flossing each day, and follow any instructions about wearing elastics. This keeps your care on track and may help reduce delays.
