    Correcting Bite Function and Jaw Misalignment with Invisalign

    Did you know? Apart from straightening your teeth, our Invisalign specialists (Dr. Ramtin and Dr. Damon) are also adept at correcting bite function and jaw misalignment with Invisalign too. While Invisalign is known for straightening teeth, our specialists (who are officially among the top 300 Invisalign specialists in the world) can also plan your smile journey here at Dental on the Banks to correct these functional issues and give you a full and wide smile.

    Correcting Bite Function with Invisalign
    You may have heard of terms such as ‘overbite’, ‘underbite’ and ‘crossbite’. These refer to when a patient does not have even distribution and when they bite down aeither the upper or lower jaw is misaligned with the opposite jaw – resulting in either the top or bottom set of teeth protruding over the opposite set. For many, this can be very uncomfortable and present problems when eating. In some cases it can also result in a visual protrusion that can be seen when the mouth is closed as one of the jaws juts out slightly more. When you come in for the first step of your Invisalign journey at Dental on the Banks, Dr. Ramtin or Dr. Damon will take a full 3-D scan of your teeth and mouth and can plan ahead to rectify this with Invisalign should your case need it.

    Correcting Jaw Misalignment with Invisalign
    Similar to the above, jaw alignment is also something that can be corrected in some cases with Invisalign. With their expert knowledge and experience with the clear aligners, our Invisalign specialists can once again account for and plan this aspect into your Dental on the Banks Invisalign journey. This results in a widening of your smile – meaning that you gain a full smile of straight teeth when your treatment is finished. Known as the smile corridor or buccal corridor, it means that you will have a fuller smile and less ‘black space’ in the corners of your mouth when you smile (as can be seen at one of our before and after cases above).

    Step 1 – Invisalign (Teeth Straightening)
    If you have any misalignment or ‘crooked’ teeth etc., we start with orthodontic treatment (i.e. braces) to straighten your smile. As Invisalign specialists (Dr. Ramtin and Dr. Damon are officially recognised as among the top 300 Invisalign specialists in the entire world); we create custom Invisalign plans to help our patients to discreetly straighten their smiles with the clear Invisalign aligners. While Invisalign is our most popular orthodontic treatment, we also offer more traditional orthodontic options such as fixed metal and clear braces.

    Step 2 – Teeth Whitening
    After your teeth have been straightened, teeth whitening is the next step to bring your teeth to a brighter, lighter and whiter colour. Teeth whitening at Dental on the Banks takes only two weeks to complete (you wear custom made teeth trays with the whitening gels at night time) and the results can be maintained for life! The reason teeth whitening is usually completed after teeth straightening is to make sure every side and aspect of your teeth are whitened after they have been straightened into the correct position.

    Step 3 – Composite Bonding
    The final finishing touch then is called composite bonding (also known as composite veneers or cosmetic bonding). This is an optional step and can be used if your teeth have uneven surfaces or edges (such as jagged edges) or are not uniform in size. This aesthetic treatment works by applying layers of white composite material (the same material used in fillings) to your natural teeth – meaning that there is no anaesthetic or drilling involved. This step is usually completed last so that the composite material can be made to match the shade of your teeth after they have been whitened in Step 2.

The beauty about porcelain veneers is that once you have completed your smile makeover in Poole, these veneers require no further maintenance other than your general routine dental appointments and personal dental hygiene.


    Similarly with dental implants, this is another popular treatment as it is long lasting and extremely effective. If you are feeling somewhat insecure about a missing tooth, the dental implant is the best solution for you – allowing you restore your confidence in your smile.

This treatment is essentially pain free throughout the process and so many people have benefited from the comfort that dental implants can bring.

    We are all familiar with the unpleasant stains or black lines that can appear in our teeth from years of daily wear and tear and that’s where crowns can come in to help. Our crowns are designed to last and combat the appearance of dark lines or discolouration or to cover and protect damaged teeth – essentially stopping further damage and discolouration from developing. Crowns can be made to fit with precision and are indistinguishable from your own teeth, allowing your teeth to look fresh and lifelike. For the ultimate smile makeover in Poole, Dental on the Banks can guarantee you the results you need while you experience the best care that is sure to bring a smile to your face.
