Find Out More About Braces On The Back Of Your Teeth

Saturday, November 15th, 2014

2904341_blogMany patients come to us dreaming of an invisible way of getting straight teeth and now, we can make your dreams come true. With lingual braces, we can straighten the teeth without anybody being able to see. Lingual braces are also known as behind the teeth braces because they are secured onto the back of your teeth, rather than the front.

More about lingual braces

Lingual braces are an amazing option for patients who want to enjoy a straight smile without any of the stigma that comes with wearing visible braces. This may be beneficial for teenagers who are worried about what the peers will say and think, or adults who work in roles that require face to face contact, for example, as well as those who worry about how wearing braces will affect their confidence. With lingual braces, nobody is able to see the braces, so you can enjoy enhance confidence throughout the treatment process.

STb Social 6 braces

We are delighted to offer our clients STb Social 6 lingual braces, which are designed to produce breathtaking aesthetics by realigning and positioning the social 6. The social 6 is the name given to the front six teeth.

STb Social 6 braces are smaller and lighter than traditional fixed braces and they sit on the back of the teeth to ensure that you remain completely incognito during your treatment. As this treatment only focuses on the front teeth, treatment times are very short; the speed of tooth movement is also increased by self-ligating wires.

STb Social 6 is a great choice for anyone who has minor issues with the front teeth and is interested in invisible treatment.

How long does treatment take?

STb Social 6 treatment is rapid and you’ll have an amazing smile in a matter of weeks. The average treatment time is 12-20 weeks; the exact duration will depend on your orthodontic prescription.

 

Lingual braces for a truly invisible treatment in Central Leeds

Monday, February 10th, 2014

529808_blogAsk people who are considering having braces about the problems that may potentially put them off having treatment and most will probably say that they don’t want to wear visible braces that alter their appearance and may affect their confidence. Thankfully, we have an amazing solution for those who are searching for an orthodontic treatment. Lingual braces are ideal for those looking to improve the aesthetic of their smile without changing their image during the process. These braces enable you to have treatment without anyone being able to see the brace, which means that you don’t need to worry about feeling self-conscious when you go out or meet new people. Lingual braces represent a really exciting alternative to traditional braces; rather than being attached to the front of the teeth in the normal way, these braces are fixed to the lingual side of the teeth (the back). Each bracket is fixed individually and then the wire is passed through. As the braces are on the back of the teeth, they are completely invisible when you smile. One of the most popular lingual brace treatments in the centre of Leeds is STb Social 6, a system, which is designed for those with minor orthodontic needs. These braces use advanced technology and design to move the teeth quickly, whilst also minimising friction for enhanced comfort. Typically, treatment time is around 6-16 weeks, so you can get the smile of your dreams quickly and discreetly; what are you waiting for?

 

 

Is it true- Invisible Braces? Yes please says Leeds!

4207449_blogAs anyone that has had a mouthful of metal shoved into their mouth will tell you, one of the greatest issues to overcome with getting your teeth straightened is one of vanity: though fixed braces do a great job, in the past they could look quite ugly and you could go through years of insults and ribbing. Many fixed braces use more subtle materials today for discretion, but if you want complete anonymity when getting your teeth aligned, take a look at some of the transparent aligners on offer: made from clear plastic, they are also removable for hygiene and they work faster than traditional braces, but also remember they will be very hard to spot in the mouth- which is probably their biggest asset of all. There is also another technique which is also invisible to the outside world- lingual braces. These are fixed braces but what sets them aside from others of their type is that they are fitted to the inside of the teeth, which means you can’t see them at all! Shop around; talk to your dentist in Leeds and also, go on-line and find out all you can about these orthodontic options. Having braces and aligners like these fitted will help to avoid the jibes and retain your confidence through which can be a traumatic time in your life.

The magic of Lingual Orthodontics in Central Leeds

Sunday, November 17th, 2013

4756357_blogWhether or not you like the idea of having braces fitted to your teeth in central Leeds, you have to remember that it is for your own good, and helps to protect your teeth for the future. One of the biggest gripes that people have though is just how complex and ugly they look when they are fitted and for some, it can seriously affect their confidence having to go around with a mouthful of metal for years. However, if you were to look deeper into what is on offer, you can remove all of these worries by having lingual braces fitted, and lingual orthodontics has really taken off over the years. Yes, they are fixed braces and yes they are a nightmare to clean at first and throughout your treatment, but there is a huge difference between these and traditional braces- they are completely invisible, why you may ask yourself? Well lingual braces are fitted to the inside of the teeth as opposed to wrapping themselves around the front, so they can’t be seen at all. Now this doesn’t come without its problems; cleaning has already been mentioned, but they can take a lot of getting used to as well. Though, you should take heart from the fact that they can do very complex work for you and the discretion they give you should be enough for you to look into them before making your choice.
