I am now in the third month of my six month smile treatment, it’s still going really well and they have now completely stopped rubbing! Still the odd day or too of discomfort but that’s because they are still moving and I have noticed that my lower teeth are now coming down into alignment and into the right position. My bite is also coming together nicely now making eating pretty much as it was before they were placed.

May 16th, 2013Invisalign near Fleet for adults wanting straight teeth
April 23rd, 2013Adult orthodontic braces have come along way from the fixed metal train track braces. Invisalign clear aligners uses a unique system to straighten teeth.
Using hi-tech computer simulation in Mexico, the Invisalign technicians can predict how many aligners will be required and what your final result will be even before you start any treatment. How amazing is that?
Each clear aligner is worn for 2 weeks and they gradually straighten your teeth over a period of time. The benefit of Invisalign adult braces is that they are virtually invisible and you can still eat and drink what you like as they are removable.
It does have its limitations so the best thing to do is have a chat with your certified Invisalign dentist provider to see if you are eligible for this type of teeth straightening.

My 6 month smiles clear braces diary
April 11th, 2013
It’s been 2 months now since I started my 6 month smiles adult clear braces treatment and its going so quickly! Everything has settled down well, only the odd day where one or two teeth may be uncomfortable but nothing that isn’t manageable. I’ve adapted well to what foods to avoid and chewing food is easier too now I am used to the bite guards. Dr Rashid has taken some photo’s for an up to date look at how things are progressing and compared to the before pictures things have been moving really well, I can see a big change in my smile! Even friends and close ones are noticing the difference. I’m rather enjoying my new smile already!

Top tips for 6 month smiles adult clear braces from dentist near Farnborough
March 28th, 2013If you are wearing the new 6 month smiles adult clear braces or are about to embark on a course of treatment, here are some top tips to help you through the first few weeks:
1. Use dental wax- initially the braces can rub on the inside of your cheeks as your mouth gets used to them. Warm a small piece of dental wax in your fingers and gently press on to the bracket which is making your mouth sore. You can even reuse the wax so that you don’t end up having to constantly get through lots of it.
2. Keep tepe interdental brushes handy- using interdental brushes such as tepes in your pocket is really helpful. Yellow sized tepe to get round the brackets and pink tepe to get in between your teeth.
3. Take paracetamol or ibuprofen for any discomfort- your teeth will be tender initially as they start to move. Taking analgesics helps.
4. Stick to soft foods- Eating is always tricky at first especially if you have biteguards which prop your mouth open. Stick to eating foods such as porridge, soup (avoiding the tomato based ones as they will stain the elastic ties), pasta, boiled vegetables (tomatoes and beetroot will stain so avoid those).
5. Avoid foods that can cause staining and debond brackets- Food with high colourings, curries with turmeric, red wine, high in colour mouthwash, tomato based sauces, hard or crunchy foods such as crusty bread, museli, grenola, nuts, raw vegetables.

My 6 month smile adult clear braces diary
March 22nd, 2013
I had been unhappy with my smile for some time so when Time Dental introduced Six Month Smiles as one of their new adult braces systems I felt sure now was the time for me to take action!
I like that it is a fixed brace discreet in its appearance that can move both my upper and lower teeth at the same time in what I think is a reasonably short period of time.
The first two weeks were the most challenging my teeth became tender as they were adjusting, my gums and lips sore from rubbing on the brackets and eating was initially difficult. But by simply taking paracetamol or ibuprofen, using my dental wax and sticking to a softer diet things quickly became more manageable and with time eased.
Now I only occasionally have an odd day where one or two of my teeth may be tender for a short time, my gums and lips are now used to my braces and very rarely rub at all and now my eating is almost as it was before apart from avoiding the recommended foods.
All in all my braces are relatively comfortable and discreet, and after only one month I can already see that things are moving!
10 tips for Adult clear braces from dentist near Fleet
March 21st, 2013Tom Cruise with adult dental clear braces
Adult braces are becoming very common now, so if you are thinking of having fixed clear braces or if you have fixed braces on right now have a look at these tips to help you through your treatment time. We understand that the first couple of months of fixed braces can be the most challenging for you while you adjust to the braces.
1. Keep the end goal in mind. This is really important especially if you are having the 6 month smile clear braces. Keep focused on the end result and your new smile, this will make the hassle of the braces a worth while investment.
2. In the first few weeks you may find that the brackets can rub on the inside of your lips. Use a very small piece of dental wax, warm it up between your fingers and press gently onto the bracket that is rubbing. You only need a small amount. Sometimes the brackets on the lower front teeth will rub so warm the wax between your fingers into a long sausage shape.
3. Re use the wax. So that you don’t get through lots of wax you can re use it when the rubbing stops.
4. Avoid hard crunchy food. You will find it harder to eat and could also risk debonding a bracket. Stick to soft foods like pasta, mash potato, yogurts, soup, soft vegetables.
5. Avoid food or drinks with high colours in as they can stain the clear brackets eg, red sauces, tomato based pasta sauce, curries (due to the turmeric), red wine, mouthwashes with intense colouring.
6. Food will get stuck every time you eat so keep a few yellow and pink sized tepe interdental brushes in your pocket or handbag. Yellow tepe to get around the brackets and pink to get in between the teeth.
7. Peroxyl mouth wash helps to sooth any sore spots on the cheeks and helps keep the brackets clean.
8. If a bracket debonds don’t panic, it can be easily refitted at your next review appointment.
9. Your teeth will feel tender initially. In the first few weeks the teeth may feel tender or sensitive- this is normal as the teeth are adjusting to the gentle pressure movements. Take some analgesics like paracetamol or ibuprofen.
10. Remember it does get much easier after the first few weeks! Once you get past the first few weeks you will adjust to the braces very quickly.

How can you get straight, white teeth fast? Adult orthodontic braces have come a long way from metal train track braces. Now you can achieve straight teeth in a matter of weeks. Take the case above. This result was achieved in just 18 weeks.
We used a discreet removable orthodontic appliance called the Inman aligner to straighten these teeth. The secret to the success for this treatment is that the adult orthodontic braces uses very gentle pressure to squeeze the teeth into the right position. No discomfort and a fast result! Once we had straightened the teeth we carried out tooth whitening and then composite bonding on the edges of the teeth to restore their shape.
