Orthodontics Woburn Sands & Milton Keynes

Braces

Orthodontic braces are used to straighten teeth, correct bite issues, and align your smile for long-term health and aesthetics. At Roka Dental in Milton Keynes, we offer a range of orthodontic treatment options tailored to your needs.

Modern braces treatments are more comfortable and discreet than ever, with options including:

• Traditional metal braces – effective for complex alignment
• Ceramic (clear) braces – a more subtle alternative
• Invisalign® clear aligners – nearly invisible and removable

Looking for a clear, removable alternative to fixed braces? Learn more about our Invisalign treatment in Milton Keynes, including pricing from £2,300 and how the Invisalign process works.

Every orthodontic journey begins with a full consultation to assess your needs and design a personalised treatment plan. Straight teeth don’t just look great — they also support better dental health over time.

Retainers and Orthodontic Aftercare

• Removable retainers – easy to wear and clean
• Fixed retainers – discreet wires bonded to the back of your teeth
• Regular check-ups – to monitor alignment and ensure long-lasting results

 Overbite

• What it is: The upper front teeth overlap too much over the lower front teeth.
• Common signs: The lower teeth may touch the roof of the mouth, or the upper teeth may significantly cover the lower teeth when biting.
• Potential issues: Can cause difficulty chewing, speech problems, and increased wear on teeth.

Underbite

• What it is: The lower front teeth extend beyond the upper front teeth.
• Common signs: A "bulldog" appearance, where the lower jaw sticks out farther than the upper jaw.
• Potential issues: Can lead to jaw strain, chewing difficulties, and uneven wear on teeth.

Crossbite

• What it is: Some upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth instead of outside when the jaws are closed.
• Common signs: A sideways misalignment of the bite.
• Potential issues: Can result in uneven tooth wear, jaw pain, and increased risk of chipping teeth.

Open Bite

• What it is: The upper and lower teeth don’t meet when the mouth is closed, leaving a gap.
• Common signs: Difficulty biting into foods like apples or sandwiches.
• Potential issues: May cause speech problems, difficulty chewing, and tongue thrusting habits.

Overjet

• What it is: The upper front teeth protrude significantly over the lower teeth, creating a gap.
• Common signs: Teeth that stick out more than usual, sometimes referred to as “buck teeth.”
• Potential issues: Can lead to problems with chewing, speaking, and an increased risk of tooth injury.

Crowding

• What it is: There isn’t enough space in the jaw, causing teeth to overlap, twist, or become displaced.
• Common signs: Teeth appear misaligned or packed tightly together.
• Potential issues: Hard to clean, leading to a higher risk of cavities and gum disease.

Spacing

• What it is: Extra space between teeth, often called gaps.
• Common signs: Visible gaps between teeth, especially in the front.
• Potential issues: Can cause food to get stuck, leading to gum irritation, or aesthetic concerns.

Deep Bite

• What it is: A severe overbite where the lower teeth are barely visible or hidden completely when biting.
• Common signs: Teeth may appear shorter over time due to wear.
• Potential issues: Jaw pain, teeth grinding, and damage to the roof of the mouth.
