A six month smile isn`t a smile that lasts six months, it is a solution to many cosmetic problems that takes just six months to solve. In the past many teething problems have taken years to fix, this method now solves those problems in just six months says a Sunbury dentist. The problems that this process solves are varied and wide, gaps, misaligned, protruding and crowded teeth can all be sorted out with this treatment. It involves fitting a special white coloured brace that is quite small compared to most other types of brace. It is fitted with a unique wiring system that allows your dentist to adjust the pressure points and squeeze points to either bring your teeth together, solving the gap problem, or pulling your crowded teeth apart to even them out. The process that used to solve these problems would often take years to solve, using traditional methods, with the six month smile treatment it takes just the half a year as the title implies. There are of course other problem solving methods using braces, such as the Invisalign brace system, but the six month smile boasts that the cost of the treatment is around half of other methods. The Invisalign needs to be replaced every 2 weeks or so, with the six month smile system the adjustments take place every 4-5 weeks. The treatment is proving extremely popular with adults who missed out on the brace system when they were children, and there is no longer a stigma attached to wearing braces in these modern times.

There are two main types of self contained braces on the market and they both do excellent jobs, although the Inman is recommended only for misaligned front teeth says a Shepperton dentist. They do however both have very similar qualities and it is hard to choose the best one, one of those qualities is the fact they can removed and popped back in at any time by the patient. The braces work by the same principles as a conventional brace in that they pull the teeth into new positions over a period of time. Instead of the workings being cemented onto the teeth they are installed into a self contained unit that looks very much like a gum shield, how they are set and the pressure points, are all worked out by a computer program well in advance. The program will even produce a 3D film showing how this will all work week by week; this allows the patient and the dentist to actually see the work in progress and the end result. The Inman has a thin bar running across i,t and the Invisalign is so called because it doesn’t and is almost invisible to the naked eye. As long as they are worn for at least 20 hours a day they will work and do the job well, but the fact they are removable is tempting to leave them off for longer. Most people will just remove them for a few minutes while they clean their teeth, and an hour or so while they eat.

Braces. A word that used to strike fear into the hearts of every teenager across the country. And who could blame them? Nobody would particularly relish the prospect of a mouth full of metal brackets and wires, painful tightening appointments and the aesthetic nightmare that was traditional braces; in some cases for as long as three years. But the world of orthodontic straightening has undergone some significant changes in recent years.

Driven by the obvious need to provide patients with a better way of achieving the straight teeth they wanted, various companies set about to design and manufacture new methods of straightening teeth. New pioneering techniques were developed that finally solved the problems that wearing traditional braces could cause.

One of the most successful of these new devices is called the Six Month Smile brace. Addressing all the major concerns of brace wearers, Six Month Smile braces are designed to be discreet, using smaller brackets and tooth coloured wires, to limit the visual impact a brace can have. They are also made to be more comfortable, with little or no need for painful tightening. But perhaps most significantly is the speed of treatment they can offer. The average treatment time for conventional braces was between two and three years, with Six Month Smile the average treatment time is, well, six months, hence the name.

This is an incredible advantage and one that is striking a chord with patients all across the UK. If in the past, the desire to have straighter teeth was outweighed by the thought of a three year long treatment, there can be few who would argue with a six month treatment to achieve the smile they have always wanted.

In the past, patients who needed braces were often left with very little option other than to opt for the traditional fixed metal braces. However, over the last decade a whole new generation of new braces has sprung up offering vastly improved treatment. One of the most impressive of this new generation of braces is the Damon treatment.

Damon braces like to see themselves as more than just an orthodontic product. They believe it is a whole new way of treatment that does away with the need for the removal of otherwise healthy teeth and palatal expanders to create room for the teeth. Damon braces aim to create full natural smiles using sensible amounts of force to move the teeth into position.

The main points of the Damon treatment are faster treatment, fewer appointments and more comfortable treatment and it seems to deliver on all three. Damon uses passive self-ligating braces, which eliminate the need for plastic or metal ties. This means there is no need for tightening during treatment. The light weight memory-shape wires move teeth faster and require fewer adjustments during the course of treatment. The Damon system not only aligns your teeth but also aims to improve your facial aesthetics including profile, without the need for extractions.

Damon braces from a Weybridge dentist are designed to be discreet, comfortable and easy to clean. The brackets are smaller meaning a larger area of the tooth can be cleaned and they have no metal or elastic ties which can act as a magnet for plaque and bacteria. To experience the comfort and discretion of the Damon treatment make an appointment with your dentist. Orthodontic straightening doesn’t have to be the gruelling process it was in the past thanks to Damon braces.

Misaligned and discoloured teeth are a real pain at times says a Molesey dentist, especially when we have to go a wedding or a family gathering and know we will be in photos. Well, the good news I bring you is that in just 6 months, sometimes a little less, you can have a completely different smile to the one you have now. An Invisalign Brace and an intense light whitening session can get you a set of straight and white teeth in just half a year. The Invisalign is a real revolution in misalignment dentistry; it is almost invisible to the eye as it is see through. This method will straighten both front and back teeth; it has all the pressure points built in and is also removable like a sports gum shield. You have digital photos taken, along with a mould being made of your teeth, from this information a set of braces are made that will straighten your teeth in months, some clients have reported straight teeth in just 3 months. New bone also grows behind the teeth to make sure that they stay in place. Once that`s done you then get your teeth whitened, this is done using a special gel and an intense blue light that reacts with the gel to give your new straight teeth a brighter, whiter look. The session takes place in a salon, and is done by a trained technician rather than a dentist. It takes just an hour to do it, and is done in three 15 minute sessions to keep the heat down. A soft rubber gum shield will keep your teeth exposed and your gums protected. You can even remove your brace while having this done, it won`t harm your treatment.

Getting your teeth straightened isn`t just limited to the young, these days adults are using new style braces that straighten teeth in 3-8 months, say a Weybridge dentist. The reason may be down to us being more conscious of unsightly teeth, or it may just be that new advances in brace technology have improved so much. Whatever the reason it is proving extremely popular. The Invisalign is an invisible brace that has all the technology built in to it, no longer do we have to have metal strips cemented to our teeth. The brace looks like a see-through gum shield, and it comes in a series of braces. Firstly your dentist will take digital photos and X-rays of your teeth, then a mould is taken and the whole lot is handed to an orthodontist. They consult a programmer who scans all the results into a computer program, this then works out all the dimensions and maths for making the series of braces. They are then fitted every 2 weeks by the dentist; they will keep an eye on the progress of the movement of your teeth as they are straightened. This is done by using the 3D film that the programme also produces when doing their calculations. This also allows you to see in 3D the whole procedure and the end result. The other advantage these braces have is that they are removable at any time, and then easily replaced by the client. This is great for eating meals and cleaning your teeth when required. Depending on the movement required, the procedure can take just 3 months in some cases. The technology allows new bone to grow behind the moved teeth; this prevents the teeth from sliding back into their old position.

Everyone is familiar with braces in one form or another. Depending on your age you may have very contrasting views to braces. Older patients may remember the old style metal train-track braces that weren’t particularly attractive to look at. However, younger patients may be more familiar with the new generation of braces, which have used technology to make a vast improvement in treatment.

Traditional metal braces, just like modern braces, were used to manipulate the teeth into a more aesthetically pleasing position. They did this by applying pressure with a system of wires and brackets. Not only were they not very attractive but they were also quite uncomfortable and treatment seemed to last forever. Some patients were required to wear these braces for as long as three years as well as suffer the pain of extractions prior to treatment.

Modern braces have addressed many of these concerns to provide patients with a much more pleasant and short-term experience of braces. Modern braces such as the Inman aligner can show results in as little as six weeks in some cases and are also completely removable, although it must be said they are not suitable for all patients. There is also the option to have invisible braces that are made from clear plastic. Invisalign braces are almost completely invisible when in the mouth and capable of producing stunning results in 18 months on average.

Damon braces resemble the old style braces but are much smaller and more discreet. They have also been specially designed to not require tightening, which removes the need for the regular and painful tightening appointments not so fondly remembered by many former brace wearers. To find out more about these treatments and the many others that are available, consult a Weybridge dentist who will be able to tell you which one of these orthodontic treatments is most suitable to straighten your teeth.

If you have ever wanted to have straighter teeth but have been put off by the thought of having to wear braces, then the Six Month Smile might just be the treatment for you. It is now possible to correct your crooked or misaligned smile without having to wear unseemly metal braces for up to three years.

Six Month Smile braces can be used to treat many issues to do with teeth alignment including: crowding, spacing, all forms of bite misalignment and misplaced midlines.

The revolutionary features of the Six Month Smile treatment include wires that are small, discrete and tooth coloured. This makes the brace very hard to see unless standing up close to the patient. Treatment time is reduced by as much as 75% compared to traditional orthodontic treatment and discomfort is kept to a minimum. The all-important statistic, however, is that they cost as little as half as much as conventional orthodontic treatment or Invisalign braces.

The treatment process begins with an initial consultation to see if your teeth are suitable for the Six Month brace. In some cases of extreme overcrowding it may not be possible to use the Six Month brace without some prior treatment. Once the initial appointment has been carried out, you will then have to wait for several weeks while the braces are manufactured. Once fitted, it will be necessary to visit your Molesey dentist every four to five weeks to make small adjustments to the braces but with treatment time lasting as little as six months this is only a minor inconvenience when compared to the alternatives. Make an appointment to see if you could finally get the smile you have always wanted with the minimum of fuss.

Six Month Smile braces are a revolutionary new orthodontic straightening system, pioneered in the US, that is now sweeping the UK offering incredibly fast teeth straightening. More traditional straightening methods involve wearing braces for as much as two to three years to achieve results that Six Month Smile braces can achieve in just six months.

Six Month braces can be used to treat most forms of misalignment including all forms of bite issues as well as overcrowding and spacing problems. A dentist will assess your suitability for the treatment at an initial consultation where they will take x-rays and photographs. They can then give you a more thorough idea of how successful the treatment could be for your teeth and how much it is likely to cost. Both of these factors obviously depend on the nature of the orthodontic concern.

Once the braces have been fitted you will be required to visit the dentist every four to five weeks for a check up. Treatment with Six Month Smile braces may cause some discomfort at the beginning and after adjustment appointments but this is common to all orthodontic straightening procedures and is rarely more than mild and temporary. It is also important to stress the level of discretion offered by the treatment. Unlike traditional train-track braces, the nickel wires used in Six Month braces are tooth coloured and very discreet and very hard to notice unless standing at very close quarters to the patient.

Six Month Smile braces from a Sunbury dentist are perfect for putting the finishing touches to a beautiful smile. For the millions of people in the UK who feel anxious about their teeth, Six Month Smile braces could offer the perfect solution in just six months.

Damon braces are the latest development in fixed orthodontic teeth straightening providing fast and low friction straightening with a greater degree of comfort. Damon braces use the latest self-ligating wires to reduce the physical impact on the patient’s mouth and also reduce the number of appointments needed at the dentists. The Damon treatment also lasts on average four to six months less than conventional orthodontic straightening.

The self-ligating wires mean that there is no need for elastic or metal ties, which can act as a breeding ground for bacteria and irritate the soft tissue of the lips and gums. Because Damon brackets are smaller it also means that teeth are much easier to clean during treatment, a major concern when wearing traditional braces.

The smaller brackets used with the Damon treatment combined with the use of tooth coloured and see-through plastic make the Damon brace far more discreet than many other fixed metal braces. In fact, the majority of the bracket is manufactured from reinforced ceramic material making it durable, resistant to staining and hardly noticeable unless standing very close to the patient.

Crucially though, the Damon system will involve no extractions or palate expanders prior to treatment as it aims to produce a natural and healthy looking full smile at the end. This greatly reduces the levels of discomfort experienced by patients, as anyone who has undergone a tooth extraction will tell you.

The Damon brace represents the first legitimate attempt to make fixed metal braces fit around the life of the patient rather than the other way round. Great care and attention has been taken to reduce the level of discomfort and visual impact yet still to produce beautiful teeth at the end of treatment. Ask a Kingston upon Thames dentist about Damon braces and you could straighten your teeth with the minimum of pain and fuss.
