“I LOVE MY NEWSTRAIGHT TEETH!”
Gone are the days of ugly train track braces for adults. At Portstewart Family Dental they have braces that are discreet and can give you the perfect smile – just like bride-to-be Hayley.
At Portstewart Family Dental we offer a range of orthodontic options. So, if you are interested in improving your smile or feel conscious of crowded or crooked teeth, read on. Most cases of anterior crowding can easily be treated in six to nine months, some cases in as little as four months.
Our first step is to arrange a consultation during which we will discuss your main concerns. We can then take digital 3D image of all your teeth, using our intra-oral scanner which we can then use to predict possible end results. You can decide if this is for you even before we start.
There are many advances in orthodontics so we will always have several options as to how your treatment is completed, some of these include:
Inman Aligner: a removable appliance that is worn for 20hours per day. Ideal for those patients who require a few hours a day without the appliance in.
Clear aligners, similar to the well renowned Invisalign but at a reduced cost.
Fixed braces using clear ceramic brackets and a tooth coloured wire to gently but quickly guide your teeth into position.

Michele made me feel comfortable from the very beginning, talking me through each stage and giving me the best possible advice.
So, instead of me nattering on this month, I thought you might like to hear from one of our lovely patients. This is Hayley’s story…
“From the time my adult teeth came through I had always been really insecure about my teeth. I never, ever smiled in photos and if the mention of teeth came up in conversation my hand would cover my mouth instantly in case someone would look at mine. Teeth are such a huge thing now and people spend a lot of time and money trying to achieve the ‘perfect smile.’
After years of contemplating whether to get braces and I had a conversation with one of my best friends who said: “I’ve known you since you were 17 and it’s always been your thing, spend the money and make yourself happy.” I booked the appointment at Portstewart Family Dental.
Michele made me feel comfortable from the very beginning, talking me through each stage and giving me the best possible advice. We decided on ceramic fixed retainers top and bottom to achieve the best possible results for my teeth. I was very nervous about pain during treatment, after reading every horror story online, but to my surprise I sailed through each checkup and tightening and very rarely had much discomfort. The change in your teeth happens very quickly and watching your mouth transform is incredible.
My braces were on for just over a year. When Michele removed my braces, I was honestly blown away, I actually nearly cried. My treatment also included a full whitening treatment which was the cherry on top of the cake! The confidence having straight teeth has given me is amazing and I can now confidently smile in every photo and be happy with what I see. I’m now the one talking about teeth without embarrassment and advising anyone I know who are unhappy with their teeth to not give braces a second thought and just DO IT!”
From all at Portstewart Family Dental we would like to wish Hayley and Davy a very special day on their wedding day planned in the near future and every happiness together. We just can’t wait to see the photos! Have a great day xx
