Patients Who are Looking for Effective Tooth Straightening Treatment can Find Many Braces at Freshdental Smile Clinic

There are many reasons that make people unhappy with their smiles, including tooth crowding, over or underbites and gaps between the teeth. However, many different types of orthodontic treatment are available for patients throughout the UK, including Castleford, to help straighten smiles, restoring your confidence and helping your smile to look the best that it can!

STb Social 6 Lingual braces

While wearing braces can help improve the look of a smile many people may feel embarrassed about their appearance during treatment. However, the Social 6 brace system combats this problem by combining effective tooth movement with invisibility. Social 6 braces are fixed to the lingual (inside) side of the teeth, meaning that no one will be able to see that you are undergoing orthodontic treatment. In addition, Social 6 braces achieve results much quicker than other types of brace (usually, treatment is completed within 16 weeks) and uses light but high-pressure wires, meaning that amazing results are achieved without discomfort.

Invisalign braces and ClearStep

Invisalign and ClearStep braces are also practically invisible orthodontic systems.

A mould is taken of your teeth, from which custom-made transparent aligners are created. These removable moulds are then worn over your teeth for around 20 hours per day, meaning that you can take them out to eat and brush your teeth, making them convenient as well as discreet, and comfortable too, as there are no metal fixtures to irritate your gums.

With both Invisalign and ClearStep treatment you change aligners every two weeks as your teeth gradually move and the total treatment time will usually be between 9 and 24 months.

Inman Aligner

The Inman Aligner is a removable, orthodontic device, which is worn over your front teeth for around 20 hours per day and can be removed for eating and toothbrushing. The device works by using a small, coiled spring to assert gentle pressure on the front and back of the teeth and ‘push’ them into place. Although not as ‘invisible’ as Invisalign or ClearStep, the Inman Aligner uses one aligner for the whole course of treatment, and can provide results in only six weeks!

Patients can Straighten Their Teeth in No Time with the Inman Aligner Removable Brace

There are many options available to patients throughout the UK, including those in Tadcaster who wish to achieve a more uniform smile, by straightening their teeth. One relatively quick and inexpensive way of straightening smiles is by using the Inman Aligner. The Inman Aligner is a removable brace that gradually readjusts the position of the teeth over a short period of time.

Treatment with the Inman Aligner usually takes between six and sixteen weeks, which is much shorter than other traditional braces. Since it is removable the Inman Aligners allows patients to maintain a good level of oral hygiene, which sometimes isn’t possible with the fixed wires and brackets of traditional braces. Furthermore, only one device is needed for the entire course of treatment, so there is no need for replacement aligners, which helps lower the cost of treatment.

What does the Inman Aligner do?

The brace works by using a small coiled spring on the back of the teeth and a bar across the front, with the pressure asserted by the two opposing forces gently ‘squeezing’ your teeth into the desired position in no time at all.

What are the advantages of the Inman Aligner?

Since the Aligner is removable it is dependent on you wearing it as much as possible and the more it is worn the quicker treatment can be completed. As with any other kind of brace there may be some mild discomfort when the Aligner is first worn, but this will soon disappear, as you become used to the device and the pressure. The Inman Aligner is not as discreet as the Invisalign ‘invisible brace’ system and it is not suited for cases where complex readjustment is needed. However, the advantages of the Aligner, such as the reduced treatment time and cost, outweigh the more visible nature of the device and many people can find successful treatment with the Inman Aligner.

Patients Receive Treatment for Tooth Gaps from Freshdental Smile Clinic

There are many reasons why patients can end up with gaps between their teeth. Sometimes they have lost a tooth due to decay or one has been knocked out in an accident. Others are just naturally predisposed with a gappy smile. Whatever the reason many clients like to have the problem fixed, as this kind of condition can easily affect self-confidence. There are many ways to fix this problem.

One way to fix a tooth gap is orthodontic treatment. This is available to patients from around the UK, including Bridlington. Braces can adjust the alignment of teeth, closing gaps and giving patients the smile they desire. Modern braces provide comfort, discreetness and effective results. Effective brace treatments include Invisalign, Inman aligner, Clearstep and STb Social 6 lingual braces.

If a tooth is missing there are still many treatments to choose from. Which one is best will depend on your budget, how many teeth are missing and where the gap is located.

A popular way to replace missing teeth is the use of dental implants. These are small screws which are attached to the jawbone and replace the tooth root. They can then anchor a false tooth in place for a completely secure and natural fit. Tooth restorations which can be used in conjunction with dental implants include dentures, crowns and bridges.

Pontefract dentists astonish patients with the straightened teeth offered by Inman aligners

Having a straight smile can give your self confidence a real boost. You might have never known what it actually feels like to have a perfectly straight smile but you will notice the difference as soon as you walk into a room and smile for the first time. But how can you achieve this perfect smile and achieve it quickly?

In the past your only option would have been to have brace fitted. These consist of a series of metal brackets attached to teeth which have metal wires threaded through them so that they can be tightened and loosened as required by the dentist in charge. Needless to say they can look rather unsightly and, even though they are very effective, they often needed to be worn for a full two years.

Inman aligners are different to traditional braces in that they are far more discreet than braces and need only be worn for a fraction of the time. They can be far more discreet because they consist of only one visible part. Compared to metal brackets on every tooth, it is a real improvement. The only visible part is a straightening bar which runs across the front teeth. This will be preferable for teenagers who hate the thought of the look of traditional braces during puberty.

The Inman aligner works by pressing the teeth against the bar using a coiled spring which is concealed behind the front teeth and safely out of view. Although Inman aligners cannot rotate teeth, they can effectively straighten out smiles in just six months. So, if you want a straighter smile and fast, speak to your Pontefract dentist about the Inman aligner. Call 01904 623687 for a free consultation at Fresh Dental Smile Clinic in York
