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.

Cosmetic dentistry and teeth straightening at dentist near Godalming

June 18th, 2012

A patient came to Time Dental looking for a gentle dentist to look after her dental care.  She was also in pain from a tooth that had been broken for 6 months.  She had not been to a dentist in 6-8 years as she had a bad experience in the past and was now completely put off seeing one.

After discussing her inital concerns she told us that she was now experiencing throbbing tooth ache from her broken tooth.  She was also keen to explore the options on straightening her upper teeth.  She had orthodontic treatment as a child but her teeth had now relapsed.

We discussed her options for adult braces to straighten her teeth.  She had quite significant crowding or overlapping of her upper incisors which she was very conscious about.  She was a good candidate for either the Inman aligner or invisalign adult orthodontic system.

The inman aligner is a removable adult brace that is relatively transparent.  It uses springs which gently squeeze the teeth into a straighter position in a matter of weeks.  A great option for adults who are looking for a quick way to straighten their teeth and ahve a confident smile.

Invisalign clear aligner is a virtually invisible adult brace system that uses clear aligners that are worn for 2 weeks at a time.  They gradually move the teeth as each aligner is changed.  Treatment time can take between 8-24 months depending on the movements that need to be done.

Her broken tooth had started to give her pain, so after assessing the tooth the nerve had been infected so root canal therapy was carried out.  Many people dread hearing the words root canal therapy.  This is understandable, however at Time Dental we provide pain-free dentistry and that means you will not be able to feel anything during our treatment time.  Root canal therapy essentially means cleaning the infected root system of the tooth and then filling it so that re-infection cannout occur.

Time Dental provides cosmetic and orthodontic treatment for patients in the Godalmin, Guidford and surrounding areas in Surrey as well as Berkshire, West Sussex and Hampshire.

Adult Braces at Farnham dentist

May 9th, 2012

A patient came to Time Dental looking to improve her smile.  She was unappy that her smile was not straight.  She felt they were also discoloured and she did not like the appearance of a blue line around the gums of an old crown she had at the front of her mouth.

On further investigation, her smile was not straight because her canine tooth was out of line from her other teeth.  Her teeth did have a generalised discolouration and she reported that she drank alot of tea and coffee that stains your teeth.  The crown was over ten years old and was blue at the gum line due to the metal from under the crown showing through.  She also had three porcelain veneers at the front of her mouth which was previously fitted to correct the overlapping crowded front teeth.

In order to straighten her upper teeth especially the canine, there were a couple of options.  The first option was to use orthodontic adult braces to straighten the canine tooth.  Teeth can be straightened with fixed braces or removable Invisalign adult clear braces.  Another option could be to use composite bonding on the canine to lengthen it to bring it into alignment.  Both options are viable to achieve the desired result with the gold standard being the adult orthodontic braces.

Once the teeth had been straightened, professional tooth whitening can be carried out to freshen up the smile.  Professional teeth whitening is an easy safe way to make an immediate improvement to your smile.  One thing she had to bear in mind was that when teeth whitening, crowns,veneers and fillings stay the same shade while the natural teeth will whiten. Once the teeth had been whitened we could replace the old crown with an aesthetic all-ceramic crown which gives tbe best natural look and also replace the old porcelain veneers to match the new fresher whiter smile.

Time Dental provides teeth straightening and teeth whitening for many patients in the Farnham, Fleet, Aldershot, Farnborough and Winchester areas as well as the surrounding areas in Surrey, Hampshire and Berkshire.
