Fast And Discreet Straightening With The Inman Aligner

Wednesday, August 6th, 2014

3492515_blogIf you thought it was impossible to get straight teeth quickly and discreetly, we have good news! With the incredible Inman Aligner, we can give you the smile of your dreams in record time with minimal disruption to your day to day life and very little impact on your looks.

The Inman Aligner is a really impressive aligner treatment, which moves the teeth by producing gentle forces using a coiled spring and a metal bar; these forces squeeze the teeth, pushing or pulling them into place. Although the aligner is not completely invisible, like some other systems, all you can see is the metal bar on the front teeth and this is very fine and much less noticeable than a fixed brace.

The ins and outs of treatment

Inman Aligner treatment is really simple; all you have to do is wear the aligner for at least 21 hours per day. As the appliance is removable, you can take it out at meal times and when you clean your teeth, but it is really important to ensure you wear it for the recommended time each day for the best results.

The Inman Aligner is not a viable option for everyone and it is primarily designed for patients with minor issues, which involve the front teeth. By focusing on these teeth, you can be sure of a beautiful smile and an incredibly short treatment period. The average treatment time for this system is just 16 weeks, making it an amazing solution for patients in a hurry and those who only need minor correction. We can also recommend this treatment for patients who have signs of relapse following previous treatment.

If you have crooked front teeth, minor crowing or a gap between your front teeth, this could be the perfect solution. Call us now or pop in and see us when you next head into Leeds to find out more and book a consultation.

If you’re conscious of your teeth, you hate smiling in public or you just wish you had a more attractive smile, we can help. Our bespoke smile makeovers transform dull, broken, missing and stained teeth into gorgeous, glamorous smiles.

What is a smile makeover and how does it work?

A smile makeover is made up of a series of different dental treatments and the aim is to create a perfect new smile. Often, the treatment list will include a mixture of cosmetic and restorative treatments and we also offer cosmetic braces to resolve issues including crooked, crowded and teeth and gaps in the smile.

Our most popular treatments include tooth whitening, porcelain veneers, cosmetic bonding, white fillings, porcelain crowns, cosmetic braces, dental bridges and dental implants.

We consult with you during the planning stage to assess your needs and see which treatments would benefit you; we take a number of factors into consideration, including the flaws you identify and want to improve and the ideas you have about the perfect smile. We understand that patients have different opinions and every smile makeover we do is different. We will also consider the time frame of treatment and also the cost. Once we have chosen the treatments together, we will plan your treatment and start the process of making your smile perfect!

How long does treatment take?

As every smile makeover is different, it’s impossible to say how long treatment will take. This is because the treatment time for different procedures and techniques varies hugely. Some treatments, including fillings, crowns and cosmetic bonding, take less than an hour, while orthodontic treatments and dental implant treatment can take several months. Once we know which treatments you will be having, we can give you a much better idea of when to expect the finished article.

If you thought you had to wear a brace for at least a year to get the smile of your dreams, think again!

Shaping your Teeth in Leeds

Friday, November 23rd, 2012

As a person in Leeds, you will strive to do what you can for yourself with what you are born with. Not all of us are dealt a fair hand, but hey, we carry on. But thanks to the world of cosmetics and indeed, cosmetic dentistry, you can alter the way you look to give you what you desire. Teeth can be a particularly thorny subject: the way they grow can be inherited so you don’t really get a choice. But dentistry has recognised this and can give you the smile that suits you and teeth contouring can eradicate all the things that you hate about yourself. If your teeth are crooked, it is not necessary to go down the road of braces or aligners when you can have the teeth re-shaped; you may have to have a little more cosmetic work done in the form of veneers or dental bonding but it will all be over with in a couple of weeks as opposed to braces that can take ages. Similarly, if there are certain teeth in your mouth that just annoy you because some are longer and look awkward when you smile, again teeth contouring could well be the answer. It isn’t a painful process and you can be in and out of the dentists chair in as little as an hour.

 

Overcoming Ankylosis In The City Of Leeds

Thursday, September 27th, 2012

The body is a wonderful machine in the city of Leeds, a body that has the ability to repair itself when thing go wrong and this is especially true of how it adjusts to change during growth. This can also be said of the way our teeth adapt, especially when the secondary ones come through. However, on occasions, things go wrong and our system fails us and even the tiniest default can lead to major problems further down the line. When secondary teeth come through, the baby teeth should by that time be long gone and the roots should have dissolved, but in some cases, the roots can fuse to the jawbone causing ankylosis, and this can upset the growth of the new teeth. The new teeth can become suffocated by these roots and this can stunt growth as well as making it crooked. It will normally only happen to the odd tooth, but this can also affect the growth of surrounding teeth and cause infection. The growth of secondary teeth is important so it’s essential that they are allowed freedom to grow unhindered and if a tooth is suffering from ankylosis, there may well be little option but to have if removed for the sake of the health of others.

Dentist in Leeds Discusses Eliminating Crooked Teeth with Veneers for a Better Smile

Saturday, November 12th, 2011

3488681_blogIf you dream of perfect teeth and are looking for an all-around solution to chipped, stained, poorly-spaced or crooked teeth, consider dental veneers for a confidence boost. Veneers are very thin overlays that create a flawless façade for your teeth. They can be made from different materials ranging from porcelain to a composite resin material. Unlike dentures, veneers are not removable and are cemented to the surface of your natural teeth.

Veneers are available in a variety of shades that enable dentists to perfectly match the most natural-looking shade for your individual needs. Porcelain veneers are especially realistic looking as porcelain has a luster under light, just as natural teeth do. Porcelain veneers are also the most durable type of veneers and can last up to fifteen years.

Composite resin veneers are even more affordable than porcelain veneers and can typically be fitted in one visit. Composite resin veneers do not last as long as porcelain veneers, but are easy to repair should the need arise. There is no extra care required to maintain veneers. Just treat them as you would your natural teeth with regular brushing, flossing, and visits to your dentist.

Veneers give you a flawless smile without years of metal braces or extensive dental surgery. Consult your dentist in Leeds about this great advancement in cosmetic dentistry and let us help you feel great about your teeth.

The dynamic Inman Aligner in Leeds

Thursday, September 29th, 2011

Ever feel that those crooked, nay, buck front teeth are holding you back, you know, really holding you back from cutting loose and showing just how beautifully you can smile? There’s a beautiful smile in everyone, unfortunately, our teeth can often stop us from showing it, yet as we get older, the thought of any lengthy orthodontic treatment can stop that smile coming out too. So, you may well like to take a day off work and ask your dentist in Leeds all about the Inman aligner, because this supersonic device could be the answer to all your prayers. There is no other aligner quite like it and it’s a masterpiece of engineering: the device works on the theory that if you keep the teeth moving all of the time, they will move a lot quicker; a coil spring and wire exerts a pulling force on the front of the teeth and at the same time a small bar (which also acts as a template for the teeth to align themselves against), pushes the opposite way, squeezing the teeth and rocking them into place against the bar. That’s the technical bit over, now the important facts. This tailor made device starts from around £1200, but before you start thinking ‘bit pricey’, this is the best bit…..it can work in as little as 6 weeks!! Now if that hasn’t caught your attention, then let’s seal the deal- it can also be taken out when you eat or clean your teeth…Bet your smiling inside and out now!

Got crooked teeth in Central Leeds? Braces are the best solution

Friday, August 5th, 2011

Although there are quite a number of newer products available from dental surgeries which can straighten teeth, the optimum solution for every single tooth alignment issue is to be fitted out with braces. Some of the newer products have shorter treatment times – often about a quarter of that of braces – and are far more discreet but most of them are unable to deal with multiple alignment problems as well as rotating teeth.
Braces work by gently moving your teeth into the desired positions over a period of time, usually eighteen months to two years. This length of time is necessary in cases where there are profound and manifold issues to be sorted out. By attaching brackets to your teeth and then threading wires through them, your dentist can tighten the wires at regular appointments so that your teeth are moved around into a situation of perfect alignment with one another.
This will lessen the chances of bruxism because patients who do not have well aligned teeth can be more prone to grind their teeth together when they are asleep. Teeth which are packed too closely together can sometimes be more likely to experience cavity formation because it becomes more difficult to clean them, especially in the gaps between them which can be small.
The results that you will get from a period of treatment with braces are spectacular and you can be proud of the new straightened smile that you will get at the end of it all. The added boost to your self confidence will be immediately felt and you will find that you want to show off your new smile. Ask your Central Leeds dentist to tell you more about braces today.

Braces can solve all problems with crooked and misaligned teeth, say Leeds dentists

Sunday, July 17th, 2011

Having a perfect smile is something that most of us would say that we want. Being able to show off your smile makes social situations that much easier because you put people at ease. Smiling is good for you too as it increases the flow of endorphins and makes you feel more relaxed and less stressed out by things that might otherwise get you down.
Although there are plenty of products currently on the market which can straighten out teeth – from ‘invisible braces’ to braces that are the same colour as your teeth – dentists agree that the traditional, fixed, metal brace is still the best way of dealing with all of the different ways that your teeth can be imperfectly arranged.
Your dentist will securely attach a series of metal brackets to your teeth and then thread metal wires through them. At regular appointments these wires will be tightened and loosened so that your teeth are gently pushed and pulled into the perfect arrangement. Having teeth arranged as they are meant to be will lessen your chances of grinding your teeth in your sleep (bruxism) and mean that they are easier to clean and look after.
The treatment time is long – often up to two years – but it is worth it for what you get out of it in the end. None of the other different types of new braces and aligners can rotate teeth in the way that traditional braces can. Your Leeds dentist will be able to explain to you exactly what is involved in wearing a brace and you can rest assured that you will get the most dedicated of care throughout the period of the treatment.

Central Leeds dentists correct crooked smiles with the incredible Six Months Smile treatment

Saturday, July 16th, 2011

It seems like a self-evident solution to a problem that has been with us for many years, but it is only comparatively recently that dentists have had the ability to straighten out smiles with a product that is not only incredibly fast acting but is also notably discreet. The Six Months Smile treatment has been pleasing patients in the United States of America for a number of years and now it is available to patients in Great Britain too.
Instead of the metallic colours brackets and wires which are the hallmark of the traditional brace, Six Months Smile uses brackets and braces which are actually the same colour as your teeth. This means it is far more discreet. The principle is the same though: over the course of the treatment teeth are gently moved into the desired position so that a perfectly aligned smile is created at the end of it all.
Rather than taking eighteen months or even two years to achieve this though, Six Months Smile takes just six months to straighten out crooked and misaligned teeth. Teenagers who are already struggling with all the awkward changes of puberty can look forward to having their teeth straightened out quickly and without having their smile stand out a mile.
If you are interested in the Six Months Smile way of straightening out your teeth then you should talk to your Central Leeds dentist to see if they are registered with the company. You won’t regret choosing Six Months Smile because of the patently obvious advantages it possesses over the traditional metal brace system. Don’t delay; talk to your dentist today!
