Fanciful teeth straightening with Invisalign in Central Leeds

Saturday, November 3rd, 2012

One of the most annoying things about having your teeth straightened is that on average, most treatments allow everyone can see that you are having it done, leaving you wide open to some serious Mickey-taking. So then consider this: what if you could have your teeth straightened without anyone noticing? What if you could remove the brace whilst eating and cleaning without the damn thing becoming clogged up with food? And what if you could get such a device fitted at a dentist’s in centralLeeds? Yeah baby! Invisalign is here!! This is the ultimate gadget for those with crooked teeth. You first need to see if your condition suits this treatment and if you do fit the bill, then you will be measured up for a number of aligners that are swapped over as your teeth move, and they move on average three times as fast as traditional braces- though ironically, this doesn’t matter: the aligner is constructed from a completely clear plastic that when fitted to your teeth, is barely visible! During dramatic times such as flirting, kissing, or just ‘chatting’ someone up, the aligner can be removed (of course, great for cleaning your teeth as well!). What this whole device gives you is a freedom never known before in the world of orthodontics: it almost seems like a dream. Though it’s a little bit more expensive than other treatments, there is no doubt whatsoever that this is a treatment worth investing in- if only to avoid the ribbing!

Evocative Invisalign in Central Leeds

Friday, October 12th, 2012

If anyone has ever had to wear braces at some point of their lives in central Leeds, the feedback will not be complimentary in the least. A couple of years of ugly fixed metal braces can leave you scarred and with a bitter taste in the mouth, pardon the pun. Since those dark days though, the world of aligners and braces have moved on incredibly and if you were to have a look at the choices on offer today, you will find a breath-taking option that goes by the name of Invisalign. Beautiful, evocative, remarkable are not names you would normally associate with a brace/aligner, but this one has the lot. It isn’t for everyone, but if you fit the bill, boy, are you in for a teeth straightening delight! This device is shaped like a gum-shield and when you join up, you will be fitted with a series of them as your teeth start to move into position. The thing about this gum-shield though is that it is transparent and so when it is in the mouth, you can barely see it- now that’s a selling point right there! It works faster than most other treatments but its other great advantage is that it is removable, making eating and oral hygiene a breeze. Though it’s more expensive than other options on the market, the lack of emotional scarring will more than cover the costs!

The Beauty Of Invisalign Arrives In Leeds

Friday, September 14th, 2012

So you crooked teethed people of Leeds, how do you fancy getting your teeth healthy and looking beautiful with the minimum of fuss? You do? Then look no further than Invisalign. This superb little gadget from a land far away can do just that. Once you have been tested to see if you fit the course, you get your first of many aligners put into place. The nature of this device works quickly and as your teeth move, you get a new aligner fitted: overall, the whole treatment should be far faster than most other devices, but the best about Invisalign is yet to come. During the procedure, the device can be taken out for a couple of hours a day if desired which keeps oral hygiene at an optimum throughout. However, the icing on the cake for this treatment comes in its design: shaped like a gentile gum-shield, it is made from a special transparent plastic which means that it is almost invisible to anyone else! Now that’s a selling point if ever one was needed with braces and aligners: the amount of stigma that removes, especially for a young person, is unbelievable and the price? WHO CARES! Go for it!

 

 

Invisibility for your Mouth in Central Leeds

Sunday, August 26th, 2012

There are a lot of factors involved in keeping a healthy balance to your mouth and one of those is the way your jaws come together.

If they close perfectly, then there is less stress placed upon the tiny joints of the jaws where they meet. But teeth don’t follow the rule book and for some people in central Leeds, teeth can develop awkwardly and grow crooked which means they have to be straightened by the use of a brace or aligner. Now this can throw up a lot of fears in some people.

Traditionally, braces have not been renowned for their beauty and wearing them can be an ordeal- that was until Invisalign came along. It comes in the guise of a gum-shield, but throws off the shackles of stigma that comes with traditional braces. It is made from a clear plastic, which from a vanity angle is marvellous because it is almost invisible when fitted and as the treatment progresses and you get fitted with different ones as your teeth move, you will find that your teeth move quickly, up to three times faster than other braces.

It can also be removed whenever it takes your fancy so from a hygiene point of view, this is another plus. It is more expensive than other treatments but the rewards of this treatment and the way it works far outweighs any costs incurred. Anyway, you need the treatment so why not make it a pleasurable one.

Discretion with Correction with Invisible Braces in Leeds

Monday, June 25th, 2012

There is a pretty good chance that most of us in Leeds are going to have to go through the pain and heartache of having a brace fitted at some point in our lives, and that is two years of psychologically being the ugly duckling with the playground ridicule that comes with it, not to mention how uncomfortable it is to wear. It is then very fortunate that future generations will not have to go through this torment as the world of dentistry has got its act together and started to knock-out aligners that leave the wearer feeling like a swan and that are ‘invisible’ when fitted into the mouth. The materials used in aligner manufacturing are more sympathetic on the eye and more aware of their surroundings- they match the colour of the teeth, from the plates to the wires and when wearing a fixed brace, that is heaven sent. But that is nothing compared some of the clear aligners from America; they truly are ‘invisible’, being made from a clear plastic, but they can also be taken out at any time AND they work far quicker than most other options around. Other braces and aligners can work from 6 weeks to 6 months so here, their invisibility work with speed- they are done and gone before you know it, and anyone else realises it. Ask your dentist about all these fantastic devices and your suitability before opting for second best.

Invisible Braces?! In Leeds?!

Sunday, May 27th, 2012

If you know that at some point in your life you are going to have to have your teeth straightened, you will have probably run all of the scenarios that come with it through your head as well, and there is a good chance you have painted quite a grave picture- a mouthful of metal for years clogged up with rotting food because it’s hard to remove…..that’s not good. But take a step back and now paint the complete opposite of that picture and you will arrive at the wonderment that is whipping around Leeds right now- Invisalign. Oh yes, this will blow all of those pre-conceived ideas you ever had about tooth straightening. Firstly, once you have signed on the program, you will then be fitted with one of many aligners that you will change throughout the course to keep your teeth moving. Now the best bits; Invisalign is made from a transparent plastic and once it is fitted, only a hawk would be able to tell that you are wearing it- IT’S INVISIBLE! Now if that were not enough, the aligner is not fixed which means you can take it out at any time and as long as you wear it for around 22 hours a day, that gives you 2 hours freedom to eat, socialise, kiss- whatever. Now if you needed any more convincing, this aligner on average, works in a third of the time than conventional braces. Bet that’s blown away your pre-conceptions!

Go the Invisible Route When you Choose Braces in Leeds

Saturday, April 28th, 2012

Invisible braces have taken the world of orthodontics by storm, as they provide an incredible solution for all those people who want a straighter smile but are worried about the way they will look during the treatment process. Braces have been used for decades, but many people are wary of having orthodontic treatment because they associate it with having to wear unsightly, painful braces for months on end. However, invisible braces straighten the teeth without anyone else even knowing that you are wearing braces.

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is the leading invisible brace system, which involves a series of clear, plastic aligners, which are shaped differently to encourage the teeth to move into position. The patient wears the aligners for a fortnight and then moves on to the next in the series until treatment is finished. The aligners are removable, but they have to be worn for at least 21 hours per day in order to ensure maximum efficacy.

What are the benefits of Invisalign?

The major benefit of Invisalign is that the aligners are invisible, meaning that nobody will even know that you are wearing braces and you won’t be able to see them when you smile. Invisalign aligners are also removable, which means that you can take them out for special occasions and to eat, drink and brush your teeth. Fixed braces can be very difficult to clean, which increases the risk of gum disease and decay. Invisalign aligners are also designed to be very comfortable.

Embracing Invisalign in Leeds

Tuesday, March 20th, 2012

There is a lot of choice open to you when it comes to choosing a brace or an aligner, but a lot of this choice is governed by the type of treatment your teeth require. However, if you find your teeth are suitable for the treatment, you should most definitely consider embracing Invisalign, because this aligner is taking Leeds by storm right now and it’s hardly surprising.

Suitability is checked using a series of x-rays, after which a series of projected images are created to show you how your teeth will look during and after the treatment. If this suits you, a number of different aligners will be made from the x-rays and photos, which will change as your teeth begin to shift.

Invisalign can be one of the more pricey aligners around, but money becomes completely irrelevant when you look at the benefits of this unique device. Its main triumph is that it manufactured from a completely clear plastic, which is almost invisible to the eye- the freedom that gives to the wearer is phenomenal. To cap that, you can eat and clean your teeth normally because the aligner can be taken out at your leisure. And the icing on the cake, if you continue to wear it at least 22 hours a day during your treatment, this brace can shave off at least two-thirds of the time that regular braces take to work.

 

 

Leeds dentists now able to straighten teeth with a product that is virtually invisible: Invisalign

Tuesday, August 16th, 2011

Straightening out your teeth is a decision that is worth taking because it will make your smile look far better and leave your mouth in a healthier state. But which one of the many options should you choose? There is a number of options available at United Kingdom dental surgeries and the decision can be a difficult one to make.
An increasingly popular option for patients with minor alignment issue is the revolutionary treatment on offer with Invisalign. It is a new way of thinking about teeth straightening and it avoids some of the aspects of traditional metal braces that have been frankly unpopular over the years.
The traditional metal brace is a very effective way of straightening out teeth but it needs to be worn for quite a long time (often several years), it is not removable and it doesn’t look very good. Invisalign avoids these problems by working in a different way altogether.
Instead of using a system of metal brackets and wires which are attached to the teeth, Invisalign is constructed of a clear, plastic material and is worn in a similar manner to a mouth guard. Your dentist will make your Invisalign brace in such a way that it moves your teeth in the desired position. Once the first Invisalign has done its work then your dentist will simply replace it with a new one that will continue the process.
As such the Invisalign brace is completely removable, just as long as it is worn for twenty two hours every day. Many patients like to take Invisalign out at meal times so that eating is easier. Ask your dentist in Leeds if they are registered with Invisalign and make the decision to straighten out your teeth once and for all.

Invisible Aligners for you in Central Leeds

Friday, July 29th, 2011

If we are all totally honest ourselves, none of us like the idea of having to wear a brace or an aligner, whatever our age. But then none of us like the idea of going through life having ugly, crooked teeth either….what to do eh? Well not to worry, because our American friends have come up with the solution- Invisalign and it’s available here in central Leeds right now. Invisalign has revolutionised every aspect of wearing an aligner. Its greatest advantage is that it is made from a completely transparent material, that once in the mouth, is almost impossible to detect from the outside- imagine the freedom that that affords to the wearer. Another delicacy of this device is that it is removable; most fixed braces are a nightmare to clean but with this, you can take it out, clean your teeth in the normal way and then pop it back in your mouth again, thus ensuring a healthy oral hygiene program throughout the treatment. Okay, this treatment is not suitable for everyone, it tends also to be more expensive compared to others, but if you need any-more carrots dangled in front of you to just how good Invisalign is:- though treatment times vary for each individual person, on average, this whole procedure takes around a third of time to complete compared other aligning methods on the market today.
