At Castle Donington Dental Care, we appreciate that beginning orthodontic treatment as an adult is a big decision, and our team is here to help you at every step of the way from your initial consultation to the fitting of your retainer once you have completed your treatment.
As we only cater for older children and adults, all of our orthodontic solutions are cosmetic and appealing. This means no metal train tracks!
In addition to straightening your teeth and enhancing your smile, orthodontic treatment can also improve your bite for improved function and oral health. It may be needed prior to other interventions like full mouth reconstructions or smile makeovers!
Orthodontic treatment is an investment, and that is why we offer several orthodontic systems to treat your dental issues, accommodate your lifestyle and fit your budget! We want to help you to get the smile you have always wished for!
All of our braces come with discounted prices for whitening and minor bonding as a standard and half price on your choice of retainers!
Inman aligner
Inman aligner is a removable orthodontic appliance that can align your teeth quickly and safely with its relatively fast treatment time of between 6 and 16 weeks.
We choose this treatment to correct minor problems with the front few teeth. They are also excellent at correcting teeth that have had braces before, but are now moving back to their old position, or where retainers have not worked well.
Once we confirm that you are happy with and suitable for this method of treatment we will be taking impressions of your teeth, and examine how your teeth look and bite together from all angles. These impressions will provide the lab with the information they need to create a 3D simulation of the end-result. If we confirm we are both happy with how things look like, we can then proceed with fitting the aligner!
We will be asking you to come in for follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and adjust things as required, and when the alignment is complete we will finish the treatment with teeth whitening, necessary bonding and retention!
Ceramic braces
Ceramic braces are white versions of metal braces and we tend to use them in patients who don’t want to have to keep taking their aligners in and out, or need to get their teeth moved from a very difficult position where aligners cannot help rectify the situation. You just need to leave the wires to work their magic and attend your scheduled review appointments every 4 weeks approximately.
Mild treatment with Ceramic braces can take as little as 4 months, whilst the average time for most cases is around 6 – 12 months.
Thanks to the lab’ s software, you can see the end-result of treatment before we begin and this will be part of your orthodontic journey.

Clear aligners (CSA/ Invisalign)
The clear aligners are removable appliances virtually invisible, comfortable to wear and easy to live with. You can continue to eat your favourite foods and brush and floss normally to keep your teeth and gums healthy. It’s a flexible treatment solution and it’s a more discreet choice than braces if it is a suitable option for you.
Both CSA and Invisalign® use customised series of clear, plastic aligners created from a 3D computer imaging technology to straighten teeth. This technology also enables you to view the progression of your treatment plan before you start the treatment.
The Invisalign® system was invented in 2002 and has treated over 5 million patients worldwide. Celebrity names like Justin Bieber, Kathy Bates and Tom Cruise have all endorsed Invisalign®.
Thanks to Invisalign®’s ClinCheck® software, you can now see the end-result of treatment before you even begin.
Invisalign® has a global reputation and has been credited with offering adults and teenagers a less invasive means of undergoing orthodontic treatment.
Mild treatment with Clear aligners can take as little as 3-4 months, whilst the average time for most cases is around 6 – 12 months.
We’ll take you through step by step what the treatment entails. The aligner-wearing period will depend on the kind of issue you are having treated, which could be misalignment, spacing, crowding or bite issues. We can then proceed by taking impressions of your teeth, and examine how your teeth look and bite together from all angles. These impressions will also provide the lab with the information they need to create the aligners, which you will wear for 22 hours each day and change every week.
We will be asking you to come in for follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and adjust things as required and when the alignment is complete we will finish the treatment with teeth whitening, necessary bonding and retention!
