Imagine a brace that could straighten your teeth in a matter of weeks rather than months or even years. Now imagine that it was completely removable and involved no fixed wires or metal brackets and was very discreet with only one small bar visible across the teeth. Sounds too good to be true? Well think again because you have just imagined the Inman aligner and fortunately for you someone has had the idea to actually make it.
The Inman aligner has been making headlines all over the world and not just in the dentistry world. This amazing new brace can make significant improvements in the alignment of your teeth in only six weeks and average treatment time lasts in total under six months. The aligner is also completely removable meaning it can be taken out for cleaning your teeth and eating. For younger patients it can also be taken out for important social events.
The aligner works by using the power of a coiled spring situated on the tongue side of the teeth to push out the lateral teeth. This allows room for the other teeth to be pulled into position and straightened against the bar along the front of the teeth. It is the perfect straightening tool for small alignment issues but may not be suitable for rotated teeth.
The Inman aligner costs roughly the same as most other orthodontic treatments yet comes with incredible treatment speed. For patients who have been reluctant to have metal braces in the past, an Inman aligner from a Leeds dentist could be the perfect solution.
The easiest way to make sure you have healthy teeth is to have healthy gums. After all, teeth are secured by gum tissue so having unhealthy gums affected by disease will have a negative impact on the teeth as well. Gum disease is very common in the UK with three out of four adults suffering from at least the milder form of the disease at some stage in their life. Gum disease is easily treated in its early stages with improved dental hygiene and some treatment from a dentist. This will not only improve the appearance of your gums but will also help to keep the teeth strong, healthy and free from decay.
Our dental hygiene is one aspect of our overall health that we can have direct control when it comes to preventing disease. Unlike other aspects of our body where disease can strike at any time, tooth decay and gum disease can be prevented by an active and efficient daily dental hygiene routine.
According to the makers of the Six Month Smile brace it is a ‘revolutionary combination of proven orthodontic techniques, modern materials and innovative thought’. And frankly it’s quite hard to disagree with them. Orthodontic treatment has for a long time been overshadowed by the ominous presence of the fixed metal brace but finally things are starting to change and a new wave of more modern treatments is being introduced. At the forefront of this new movement is the Six Month Smile brace but just what is it that makes it so impressive?
Bad breath, or halitosis, is a particularly unpleasant oral hygiene condition that affects not just the sufferer but also everyone else around them. Everyone has probably had bad breath at some time or other in their life and may not even have known about it as it is notoriously difficult to detect yourself. It is caused by the presence of bacteria in the mouth which decay and release a nasty smelling sulphurous odour that is then carried out on the breath.
Bad breath can be very embarrassing and can also be the source of great anxiety, especially because it is very hard to tell yourself if you are suffering. This can cause many people to rely on oral hygiene products such as mouthwash and breath freshening spray to keep their breath smelling fresh. What they might not realise is that not only do these products not really work but they could even be making the breath worse.
causes the actual cessation of breathing during sleep. It has two main causes which have led to two distinct varieties of the disease. The most common is known as obstructive sleep apnea and is caused in the throat when soft palate tissue collapses, momentarily blocking the airway and causing the patient to emit a choking-like sound. Apnea is often confused with snoring because the sounds are not dissimilar even though snoring is the sound of breathing when asleep.
If we were being completely honest, in an ideal world no one would want to have braces and would always choose to have perfectly straight teeth. Unfortunately, we can’t all be that lucky and for many people the only option to straighten crooked or uneven teeth is to have orthodontic treatment.
Bad breath can be a source of great embarrassment for many sufferers. One of the main problems of having bad breath is that it is often very difficult to tell when you are affected by it. Many people resort to using mouthwashes and other products that can apparently combat bad breath but without realising it might be making the situation worse.
A smile makeover is when a series of cosmetic dentistry procedures are carried out either simultaneously or in succession to improve the appearance of a smile. Smile makeovers are becoming increasingly popular because many patients find it frustrating to have one procedure carried out, such as whitening, only for their teeth to be crooked or uneven. The key to a beautiful smile is a healthy, white and even teeth and all of these can be achieved but often with more than one treatment.
