There are many devices on the market in central Leeds that promise to straighten your teeth in all manner of ways, but if you have just the odd tooth or two that has been annoying you for years, the odd one crooked or misaligned, a few gaps, you may well like to ask your dentist about the 6 months smile, for it does exactly that- work in around six months. After some x-rays and a consultation, you’ll be fitted with the device. Now, it works just like old-fashioned braces, fits like old-fashioned braces, but it sure doesn’t look like old-fashioned braces as it uses tooth colored ceramic plates and braces. Once it’s in the mouth, you have to be extra vigilant with your cleaning and ensure that food is removed from around your mechanism- your dentist will be able to help and advise you here, and then off you go! Every month you will have to spend 15 minutes in the chair so that your dentist can adjust the tension of the wire. This device works on the theory that traditional braces work more gently and sympathetically on the teeth than some of the modern aligners, so the design has kept this in mind and taken the old-fashioned brace to the next level. And for around £2000, it comes in a lot cheaper than most others.

Suitable treatments for your teeth from Central Leeds dentists
Saturday, May 8th, 2010
There are many problems that can affect our teeth over the course of a lifetime. Some of these problems are genetic and others self-inflicted or as the result of an accident. Fortunately, there are now many dental procedures, both corrective and cosmetic that can be used to improve the appearance of the teeth.
For patients who have crooked or uneven teeth there are a number of options. Perhaps the best known is orthodontic braces. These are artificial teeth straightening devices that use metal, plastic and occasionally ceramic to move teeth into the desired position. In recent years there have been a number of advancements in the field of orthodontic teeth straightening which has led to an improved and much faster treatment. Braces such as Damon, Six Month Smile and Inman aligners are able to straighten teeth in a fraction of the time it used to take to do so. In fact, Inman aligners can correct minor straightening issues in only a matter of weeks.
Minor unevenness or misalignments can also be treated with cosmetic bonding. This is a very versatile substance made of composite resin that can be matched to the colour of teeth and moulded into the desired position before being set hard with a dental laser. Bonding can be used for a number of corrective treatments such as covering discoloured patches and even as material for filling dental cavities.
At the more expensive but more spectacular end of the scale are porcelain veneers. These are ceramic caps that are placed over the top of the existing teeth to improve the appearance and shape of the teeth. Veneers can have amazing results and can totally transform a smile in as little as one afternoon.
All of these treatments and more are available from Central Leeds dentists to improve your teeth. Ask what treatments are suitable for your teeth at your next appointment.
