October 17th, 2012

Adult braces are becoming more popular these days.  There’s no need to have metal train track braces.  Now you can have straight teeth with Adult orthodontics to hep give you confidence.

A patient came to Time Dental near Godalming looking for options to straighten his upper teeth.  He had orthodontic braces as a child and his teeth had now become crowded again.  This is a very common occurrence due to retainers after the orthodontic treatment not being worn.

On assessing his mouth his main concern was the upper front teeth overlapping.  His options were fixed orthodontic braces that can be tooth coloured running on the outside of the teeth or they can also be fixed onto the inner side of the teeth.  Another option would be clear aligner adult orthodontic braces such as Invisalign.  These are virtually invisible and the clear aligners are changed every 2 weeks to help move the teeth into a straight position.  Another option is the Inman aligner.  This is a removable orthodontic adult brace that uses very gentle pressure to squeeze the teeth into a straighter alignment.  The treatment time can take between 8-18 weeks depending on the initial degree of crowding.

A recent independent study by the AACD (American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry) discovered that virtually all the people interviewed (99.7%) believed that a smile is an important social asset and that 75% of adults feel an unattractive smile can hurt a persons chances for career success.

More adults are now looking to obtain a straight smile to help give them confidence. A patient came to Time Dental near Fleet to see what could be done to help close spaces in her upper teeth and straighten her crowded, overlapping lower teeth.  She had braces as a child and now in her mid forties her teeth had gaps between them and she was unhappy and self conscious when smiling.

She did not want train track braces again and wanted to explore invisible braces of adults.  Her options included white brackets and white coloured wires to make them more discreet; adult clear aligner braces which are virtually invisible such as Invisalign to help close the spaces; or the new wonder brace called the Inman aligner.

Straight teeth isn’t just for cosmetic purposes.  It does help to give you confidence if you have crooked teeth and an uneven smile, but it aslo helps to keep your gums healthy.

A patient came to Time Dental near Farnborough looking to straighten his crooked teeth with adult orthodontic braces.  He had braces as a teenager and had not worn any retainers.  Over time his teeth had now drifted back into a crooked position and he was now very self conscious of his smile.  He had heard about invisible adult braces and wanted to know what his options were.

We discussed various options which were fixed orthodontic braces now with tooth coloured brackets to make them more discreet.  Clear aligners which are changed every two weeks and are virtually invisible adult braces.  We also discussed the Inman aligner which is the new wonder brace which is relatively invisible and can move teeth in a matter of weeks.

After showing him photos of his mouth it was clear that due to the crooked teeth he was finding it very hard to keep his mouth plaque and tartar free.  This had resulted in early stages of gum disease.  By straightening his teeth he would not only have a better smile but also be able to keep his gums in much better condition.

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.

Straight teeth with invisible adult braces at dentist Farnham

June 14th, 2012

A patient came to Time Dental recently looking to improve her smile.  She was always unhappy with her upper front four teeth which protruded at different angles.  She did not want to have fixed train track braces and had heard about invisible braces for adults and wanted to know more about it.

On assessing her mouth she had crowding and overlapping of her upper incisors.  She was a good candidate for both the Invisalign clear aligner system as well as the Inman aligner.

Invisalign invisible braces uses a series of clear aligners that gradually move your teeth over a period of time.  They are virtually invisible and since they are removable you can eat what you normally eat and brush and clean your teeth far easier than with train track braces.  The treatment can take between 8-24 months depending on the severity of the crowding.

The Inman aligner is also a removable brace.  Although it has clear parts to it, it is slightly more visible than the clear aligners.  However it can move teeth in a matter of weeks!  Treatment can take typically 8-16 weeks.  This orthodontic appliance is great if you want fast results.  As it is removable you can also eat normally and brush your teeth as normal.

Both options are a fantastic way for straightening teeth for adults so you can have the smile you have always wanted.

Adult braces at dentist near Camberley

May 31st, 2012

A patient came to Time Dental looking to straighten her teeth.  She had always been bothered by her crooked upper and lower front teeth.  She was also unhappy with the discolouration of them.  She had heard about adult invisible braces and wanted to find out more information about them.

On assessing her mouth, she had quite significant crowding of both her upper and lower incisors.  The colour of her teeth were also very dark.

In order to straighten her teeth we discussed the following options:

1. orthodontic train track braces.  These can be metal or tooth coloured brackets and can take 12-24 months of treatment. The difficulty is ensuring your dental hygiene is at an optimium level, as the brackets make this very difficult.

2. Invisalign clear aligners.  The virtually invisible adult brace.  This system uses a series of clear aligners that are changed every 2 weeks which incrementally move your teeth.  Treatment time can be between 8-24 months depending on how much movement is required.  As they are reomvable you can eat your normal foods and cleaning your teeth normally.

3. Inman aligner.  A removable brace that can move teeth between 8-18 weeks.  Can achieve excellent results in straightening teeth.  Can only move the front teeth.

After fully discussing her options she was eligable for the Inman aligner and want to proceed with that option.

Time Dental provides the Invisalign and Inman aligner service for pateints in the Camberley, Winchester, and Petersfield as well as other areas in Surrey, Berkshire, Hampshire and West Sussex.

Invisible adult braces by your Fleet dentist

May 14th, 2012

A patient came to Time Dental in Farnham today looking to close the gap between her upper front teeth.  She had orthodontic braces as a teenager and her teeth were once straight but now they had drifted and a space had opened up between her upper front teeth.

On assessing her, we also noted that she had mild crowding by her back premolar teeth and she also had crowding of her lower front teeth which she was not as bothered about.

We discussed her various options for straightening her crooked teeth. One option would be to have fixed orthodontic braces for her upper and lower teeth.  This could be your traditional train-track braces.  This may involve metal brackets or even white brackets.

Another option would be to use invisible braces like the Invisalign clear aligner braces system.  This uses a series of clear aligners to move the teeth over a period of 8-24 months depending on what movements need to be achieved.  The adult braces are virtually invisible which makes it a great option for adults who are looking to straighten their smile.

The new Inman aligner is a further option.  This again is a removable orthodontic brace that can move teeth in a matter of weeks to help straighten your smile.  It uses special springs that help squeeze the teeth into the desired position gently and quickly.

Time Dental provides the Invisalign service for patients in the Fleet, Alton, Farnborough, Farnham area as well as the surrounding areas of Surrey, Hampshire and West Sussex. Call us to find out how we can help you to straighten your teeth with adult braces.
