Chelmsford dentists recommend that patients with crooked and misaligned teeth use braces


September 8th, 2011

Braces are a long established method of correcting problems with the way that teeth are aligned. For your teeth to function properly as a composite, it is important that they are in the correct arrangement. Factors that can compromise this include a bite that is not properly aligned, teeth which rotated in the wrong direction and teeth which are over crowded or too far apart.

The method which braces use to is to employ metal brackets and wires to pull teeth into place over a period of time. By attaching metal brackets to teeth and then threading the wires through them, dentists can adjust the wires gradually at appointments so that the teeth are pushed and pulled into the most desirable positions as determined by the dentist.

Somewhat unfortunately though it sometimes seems that it is the negative aspects of braces which get the most publicity. The fact that all of that metal in the mouth can get messy during eating and that it doesn’t look that edifying either, are often mentioned aspects of braces, as well as the fact that they sometimes need to be worn for several years.

Several newer products on the market bypass these unfortunate aspects of braces but none of them can simultaneously deal with the many problems of tooth alignment and arrangement that braces can. Once the treatment is over with, patients can look forward to all of the benefits of having perfectly aligned teeth such as the excellent functioning of their mouth and a reduced risk of bruxism and cavity formation in over crowded teeth.

Dentists in Harlow use the effective Six Months Smile treatment to rectify problems with teeth alignment


September 4th, 2011

Get your teeth perfectly aligned by using a new technique that is rolling out across the United Kingdom. Six Months Smile is a brilliant way to get your teeth straightened into a good looking and healthy smile. It can deal with a multitude of teeth alignment issues and is worth considering if you want a perfectly straightened smile.

The primary benefit of having your teeth straightened is the improvement to the aesthetics of your face but there are also oral health benefits too. A misaligned bite is a common cause of bruxism (when you grind your teeth during sleep) and overcrowding in teeth can also lead to cavity formation.

Six Months Smile uses wires and brackets in the same effective fashion as traditional braces but the advantage is that the brackets and wires are the same colour as your teeth. This means the product is far more discreet in your mouth and is less likely to lead to problems of self confidence being denigrated.

The second major advantage is that the treatment time is far shorter than with traditional braces. Rather than the eighteen months or two years associated with traditional braces, Six Months Smile usually needs only six months to rectify alignment problems and overcrowded teeth.

Have a chat with your dentist in Harlow to get the relevant information about Six Months Smile. You will find that it retains the effectiveness of traditional braces by using the same brackets and wires system but that it is far more discreet and takes less time to finish to finish the treatment. Many patients have found that the virtues of having straightened out teeth are things they now could not live without.

Chelmsford dentists delight patients with the results of braces


April 1st, 2011

If you’ve got crooked or misaligned teeth, it might be something that you don’t really think about anymore, you’ve probably just learnt to live with it and put up with the fact that your smile doesn’t look quite as special as it could. But just imagine what it could do for your confidence if you had a beautiful smile that you wanted to show off. It’s not hard to achieve this, just ask your Chelmsford dentist about having a brace fitted and take the first step towards getting a wonderful smile.

The traditional metal brace has been the stalwart of orthodontics for many years now and with good reason. It is a very effective method of straightening out teeth and no job is too big or small for it to work extremely well. Metal braces can correct a bite that is not quite aligned, it can shift teeth into a gap that shouldn’t be there and it can even rotate teeth which are crooked.

Braces work using a tried and tested system of metal brackets and wires. The brackets are securely attached to the front of your teeth before wires are threaded through them. Over a period of time – on average about two years – your dentist can then adjust these wires so that they move the brackets and thus the teeth too, into the desired positions.

At the end of it all you will have a perfect smile that you had probably given up imagining was even possible. Braces are very common among younger people but they are quite suitable for patients of any age. Don’t delay; talk to your dentist today about the terrific results that braces can yield.

Advances in technology mean that you can now have alignment issues with your teeth sorted out with incredible speed. The new product which is delighting so many patients is called Six Months Smile and it has a number of advantages over the traditional methods used in the straightening of teeth.

One of the most common complaints about traditional braces is that they look unsightly. No-one wants to feel uncomfortable about the way their mouth looks, but having teeth covered with metal wires and brackets and make people feel that way. Six Months Smile gets around this problem by using wires and brackets made from special, patented materials which are far more discreet. They are made, not only to be effective at gently moving teeth around the mouth, but also to appear the same colour as teeth, making them hard to notice in the mouth.

Another common complaint about traditional metal braces is that the treatment takes an awfully long time. Two years, which is the average length of time one has to wear a traditional brace for, is a long time in most peoples’ book. Six Months Smile can work in roughly a quarter of that time without any increase in financial cost for the patient.

Braces from Chelmsford dentist create the perfect smile


May 1st, 2010

Braces are orthodontic teeth straighteners used to improve the appearance of the teeth, smile and profile. There are many types of braces and aligners that can be used to address specific problems with the teeth but all are used with the aim of making the teeth look more attractive.

Braces have been used for many years although treatment has improved almost beyond the recognition of the earliest braces. Traditional fixed metal braces, often known colloquially as ‘train-tracks’, are effective but they also have a number of drawbacks. Some of the most common include that they are often uncomfortable and even painful after tightening appointments, look unattractive and that treatment often lasts a very long time. In fact, in some cases patients may need to wear the braces for up to three years. This is a very long time for anyone but especially if you are in your difficult teenage years.

Thankfully, over the last ten or so years, a number of companies have taken it upon themselves to produce new kinds of orthodontic braces that address some of these complaints. Braces such as Invisalign and Damon are just as effective as traditional braces but also have the added bonus of being much more discreet, especially in the case of the virtually invisible Invisalign brace, as well as much more comfortable. A number of braces such as Inman aligners and again Invisalign are also completely removable, which means they can be taken out for social occasion and importantly for teeth cleaning.

Treatment times have also been significantly reduced with some treatments lasting as little as six months. This, as well as other improvements, means that orthodontic braces are no longer feared as much as they once were. Patients are happy to wear braces from Chelmsford dentists to improve the appearance of their smile without having to make a sacrifice of three years worth of unseemly fixed braces.

Benefits of Six Month Smile at Harlow dentist


April 5th, 2010

Orthodontic teeth straightening can have a dramatic impact on your appearance by realigning teeth and improving profile. However, there are also down sides to wearing traditional fixed braces. Many patients do not like fixed metal braces because they can look very unattractive. They also have a reputation for being uncomfortable with the wires and brackets causing irritation to the soft tissue of the mouth and painful brace tightening hurting the teeth and jaw. But the most common complaint by far is the length of treatment time with conventional braces. This can be as much as three years, which if you are a teenager can seem like a very long time.

In the last few years many new orthodontic devices have been released that aim to tackle these problems and improve upon some of the complaints patients have had. One of the most successful of these new treatments is called the Six Month Smile. As you might have guesses from their name, they aim to straighten teeth in an average time of six months. Six Month Smile braces are manufactured in America, where they were first pioneered, and consist of smaller and more discreet wires and brackets. These are usually tooth coloured, which means they reduce the physical impact of braces.

Six Month Smile braces also require fewer unpleasant tightening appointments with the dentist yet still have remarkable treatment accuracy. In fact, the Six Month brace makes an accurate post treatment prediction more likely than with any other brace so you will know how your teeth will eventually look before treatment even begins. Dentists in Harlow are currently offering Six Month Smile braces as an alternative to traditional fixed metal braces. If you or your child requires teeth straightening, ask for more information about how the Six Month Smile treatment could benefit you.

New smile fast with Six-Month Smile treatment from Harlow dentist


January 10th, 2010

Orthodontic teeth straightening is now achievable in a significantly reduced time than was previously possible. The very latest in orthodontic straightening is the Six-Month Smile treatment that aims to visibly straighten teeth in as little as, you’ve guessed it, six-months. This a reduction in treatment time on average of 75 per cent compared to more traditional fixed braces. The Six-Month smile treatment also promises a reduced degree of discomfort, one of the most common complaints against fixed metal braces.

Six-Month Smile treatments are able to achieve such rapid straightening results by focusing especially on teeth that are visible when smiling. This new kind of treatment uses nickel-titanium wires to reposition overcrowded or misaligned teeth. It is this more focussed approach that allows the huge drop in treatment time. This does mean that the Six-Month Smile treatment is more suitable to patients with minor overcrowding issues and dentists will advise patients with more serious straightening needs to have prior treatment and possibly some removals. But for patients looking to put the finishing touches to their smiles in as little time as possible, the Six-Month Smile brace is perfect.

The wires used by Six-Month Smile are very thin and tooth coloured making them very discreet. In fact the braces are hardly noticeable unless standing very close to the patient. This makes them ideal for more mature or professional patients wishing to avoid the stigma attached to wearing conventional braces. The braces require only ten to fifteen minute check up appointments each month to reposition the wires, which reduces the level of discomfort experienced by less frequent tightening common with other braces.

If you are suffering with overcrowding or lack confidence in your smile and want to do something about it with the minimum of fuss then ask a dentist about the Six-Month Smile teeth straightening system. Call 01245 268 494 for a free consultation at Advance Dental Clinic in Chelmsford.
