Orthodontics at Mary Lo’s practice
As a Marylebone Teeth Straightening Specialist, Mary Lo dedicates most of her time to orthodontics. Orthodontics is an area within dentistry which focuses on improving the appearance and alignment of teeth which are either crooked, crowded or protruding, orthodontic treatment is available for both child and adult patients at our practice. As well as correcting teeth which are either crowded or crooked, orthodontic treatment can correct your bite, meaning that the risk of damage to your teeth is reduced. Not correcting a bite can also affect the shape of your face.
Orthodontics makes use of appliances to correct the position of an individual’s teeth, the very common appliance known to most people is a brace. The type of orthodontic treatment however is all dependent on the current position of a patient’s teeth and the likelihood of the teeth moving over a period of time.
In the first instance, an individual’s teeth will be assessed by taking X-rays and photographs before they are issued with a bespoke treatment plan. This will include the most recommended orthodontic treatment for your dental issue along with other treatment options. The aim of all orthodontic treatments is the same; however some treatments can be more efficient than others depending on the dental issue.

Do you suffer from sleep apnoea?
At her practice along with providing orthodontic treatment, Mary Lo also treats sleep apnoea. Sleep apnoea is the term given to when your breathing stops during sleep. Along with your breathing stopping and starting, other symptoms of sleep apnoea include loud snoring and making either gasping or choking noises whilst asleep. This can also affect you during the day as these symptoms can leave you extremely tired and you may find it hard to concentrate. There are treatments available for sleep apnoea including a device similar to a gum shield which helps to hold your airways open while you sleep and using a CPAP machine.
A CPAP machine helps to treat sleep apnoea by gently pumping air into a mask which is worn over your nose or mouth whilst you sleep.
