Orthodontic Frequently Asked Questions
Who is suitable for Invisalign treatment?
Invisalign is ideal for teens and adults with mild to moderate alignment issues. A consultation with our specialists will determine if it's the right choice for you.
Why is it important to have straight teeth?
Straight teeth are essential for more than just a beautiful smile. Properly aligned teeth contribute to better oral hygiene because they’re easier to clean, helping to prevent plaque buildup, gum disease, and tooth decay. Misaligned teeth or bite issues can also lead to unnecessary wear on your teeth, jaw strain, and even headaches over time. At Parkview Dental Centre in Ipswich, we understand the importance of alignment in maintaining both the appearance and function of your teeth. Our total orthodontic treatments not only enhance your smile but also support long-term dental health by effectively addressing these alignment issues. Whether you're seeking traditional braces or modern options, our orthodontic treatments are tailored to meet your specific needs.
How long does orthodontic treatment take?
Treatment duration varies based on individual needs, ranging from 6 to 24 months. We'll provide a personalised timeline during your initial assessment.
Can I eat normally with braces or Invisalign?
Fixed braces may require dietary adjustments to avoid damaging them. Invisalign aligners are removable, allowing you to eat and drink without restrictions.
Is Invisalign as effective as traditional braces?
At Parkview Dental Centre, located in Ipswich, we specialise in providing a range of orthodontic treatments, including Invisalign and traditional braces, to meet your total orthodontic needs. Invisalign can be just as effective as traditional braces for many patients, particularly for addressing mild to moderate orthodontic concerns such as crooked teeth, gaps, or bite issues. However, for more complex cases, traditional braces may offer greater precision and control, ensuring optimal results. Invisalign is an excellent choice for individuals seeking a discreet, removable solution that fits seamlessly into their lifestyle. During your consultation at Parkview Dental Centre in Ipswich, our experienced orthodontists will carefully evaluate your unique dental needs to recommend the most suitable treatment option for achieving your ideal smile.
Who can benefit from orthodontic treatment?
Orthodontic treatment at Parkview Dental Centre in Ipswich is beneficial for individuals of all ages, including children, teenagers, and adults. Whether you're dealing with overcrowding, gaps, overbites, underbites, or crossbites, total orthodontic care can help address these issues and improve your dental health. Even adults who missed the opportunity to undergo orthodontic treatment earlier in life can benefit from modern solutions such as braces or Invisalign. At Parkview Dental Centre, we specialise in providing personalised total orthodontic care, tailored to meet the unique needs of each patient, helping you achieve a healthier, more balanced smile at any stage of life.
How often will I need check-ups during treatment?
Regular appointments are necessary to monitor progress and make adjustments. The frequency will depend on your specific treatment plan.
What are the signs that I might need orthodontic treatment?
Several signs may suggest the need for orthodontic treatment, such as:
- Crooked or overcrowded teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Misaligned bite, where the upper and lower teeth don't align properly
- Difficulty with chewing or biting
- Jaw pain or discomfort, possibly indicating alignment issues
- Protruding teeth that are at higher risk of injury
- Frequently biting the inside of your cheeks or the roof of your mouth
If you’re experiencing any of these concerns, it’s a good idea to consult with an orthodontist at Parkview Dental Centre. Our experienced team can assess your dental health and recommend suitable treatment options tailored to your needs.
What happens after my orthodontic treatment is completed?
Retainers are crucial post-treatment to maintain your new smile. We'll guide you on the type of retainer best suited for your needs and how often to wear it.
How can orthodontics improve my bite and overall oral health?
At Parkview Dental Centre, orthodontic treatments play a crucial role in enhancing your bite and overall oral health by addressing misaligned teeth and jaws. Straightening your teeth can significantly improve bite alignment, leading to proper occlusion and reducing the risk of issues like uneven tooth wear, jaw strain, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. Additionally, better alignment makes thorough cleaning easier, which helps prevent cavities and gum disease. With an aligned bite, you'll also benefit from improved chewing and speaking, contributing to optimal oral function and long-term health.
How do I handle orthodontic emergencies like broken brackets?
If you experience an orthodontic emergency, such as a broken bracket or wire, there are a few steps you can take to manage the situation until you can see your orthodontist:
- Broken Brackets: If a bracket becomes loose or detaches, try to place it back in its original position. Use orthodontic wax to cover any sharp edges that may irritate your mouth.
- Loose Wires: If a wire is sticking out or poking your gums, use a pair of clean tweezers to gently reposition it or cut it with nail clippers. Applying orthodontic wax can also help alleviate discomfort.
- Discomfort: For general discomfort or soreness, over-the-counter pain relief can help, and a warm saltwater rinse can provide soothing relief.
Contact Parkview Dental Centre as soon as possible to schedule an appointment to address the issue and ensure that your treatment remains on track.

Friday 5th June I had appointment with Lesley the hygienist, I was a bit worried about having a new hygienist. Debbie and Louise the wonderful receptionists assured me I would be fine. Lesley was fantastic I felt so comfortable and completely at ease. Thank you Lesley and The receptionists they were all brilliant.😃
diane hilder I’m a very nervous patient and just moved to the area, so was dreading my first visit here. However Mr Jacob McKenzie was very caring, patient in explaining everything he was doing and soon put me at ease. The reception staff are also very welcoming.
Amanda Good 10/10 dental practice- receptionist's are polite, friendly & very caring. They are always so nice to me even when I’m in abit of a panic about having to book in for treatment. AMAZING front of house team! . Then there is Alex, the most amazing dentist- I appreciate Alex’s care, professionalism & patience he shows me when I visit from a check up to dental work needing to be done. Alex is such a calming presence who makes you feel at ease & not silly when I’m expressing how worried or anxious I feel when I have to have a filling or if I just have a niggling feeling somethings not right, he listens & re assures me completely. Massive thanks to Alex for having the patients of a saint when dealing with me (always anxious) & the whole team for looking after me & the family 10/10 team!! :)
