Central Leeds dentists offer patients the chance to straighten their smile quickly with Inman aligners

Wednesday, June 1st, 2011

As if having a mouth full of metal was not enough, many people can be put off the idea of wearing a brace by the possible length of the treatment time: sometimes as long as three years. But having a crooked smile will not just go away if you wish it to be so; you have to do something about it. If you have major alignment issues and teeth that need rotating then you will probably have to get a brace fitted but for smaller problems then Inman aligners are ideal as they are incredible quick and discreet.
Unlike braces which use metal brackets and wires to pull your teeth into the desired positions, Inman aligners work by using a coiled spring that is concealed on the inside of the mouth. Over time the spring pushes your teeth against a so called straightening bar which runs across the front of the teeth. This bar is the only part of the Inman aligner which can be seen by people so it is preferable in that sense to traditional metal braces.
Another huge advantage to treatment with an Inman aligner is that they are completely removable. This makes them so much easier to clean and, if an important social occasion demands it you can take it out for a few hours so that you don’t feel self-conscious at all.
These factors make Inman aligners a desirable solution to crooked teeth and it has a number of advantages over traditional metal braces. You should discuss any decision about straightening your teeth with your Central Leeds dentist first though to get the expert opinion.

Six Months Smile produces beautiful smiles in just half a year with Leeds dentists

Wednesday, May 18th, 2011

What if it was possible to get a perfectly straight set of teeth in a matter of months? Sounds like just a distant dream or something reserved only for the very richest in society, but thanks to the incredible Six Months Smile procedure, this is now available to everybody. All you need is the desire to correct your crooked teeth and an appointment with your Leeds dentist.
The thing about traditional metal braces is, for all their effectiveness, they can look unsightly to say the least and take rather a long time to achieve what they are meant for. All those metal brackets and wires can leave you feeling ashamed of even opening your mouth and the prospect of having to put up with that for as long as three years puts plenty of people off.
Six Months Smile circumvents both of those problems while retaining the effectiveness of the tried and tested traditional metal brace. In a brilliantly simple solution to the problem of discretion, the wires that are used in Six Months Smile to move your teeth over time are actually made from special nickel titanium which is matched to the colour of your teeth. As for the length of treatment time, Six Months Smile takes as long as the name suggests: six months.
Six Months Smile is unable to rotate teeth but for minor and general alignment issues, it is perfectly suited. Make an appointment with your Leeds dentist to find out more about this revolutionary product and how it can change the look of your smile for good. You’ll be amazed by the results it produces in your teeth.

How to get your Smile Back in Leeds with the Inman Aligner

Saturday, May 7th, 2011

One of the problems with correcting a crooked set of teeth is the time involved with the treatment, which has been proven to put people off from even bothering in the first place, especially those who, pardon the pun, are a little long in the tooth? Well those of you in Leeds, who have ‘bucked’ or twisted teeth at the front of the mouth, sit up and take notice, for there’s an aligner available that will blow your mind. It’s called the Inman and it rocks….literally! This sensational little device works painlessly by gently keeping your teeth on the move, because while it applies pressure on the outside with a barely noticeable wire, a spring activated bar reverses the pressures on the inside; it rocks your teeth into place! And this device has an added bonus of being removable. Imagine the freedom that affords when having a meal, socialising for a couple of hours and cleaning your teeth! It’s not an expensive treatment either, considering the engineering that goes into this device and the way it works. After the treatment a retainer will have to be worn for a while, usually whilst you sleep or when you’re alone to prevent the treatment from reversing itself. But if you are still stubbornly unsure about going down this avenue, then maybe this little fact will make you wake up and see the light. The treatment is complete, done and dusted in as little as…..wait for it……6 weeks! The Inman rocks alright!!!

Crooked, misaligned teeth have many causes, from trauma to childhood thumb-sucking. They can dash one’s confidence and lead to a lifetime of poor oral hygiene. Central Leeds dentists are now offering a chance to put an end to this forever with the fitting of braces. Why delay achieving your perfect smile? Braces work with your teeth to ensure lasting, optimum alignment and bite that will mean you can show off your teeth with confidence.

Getting braces fitted is easy at any age. Although childhood is the best time, adults with alignment issues need not despair with braces able to achieve stunning results if your palate or jaws need widening or you require more space between your teeth or jaws. Braces can even shape the teeth themselves and treatment may last for only six weeks or up to three years.

Having had x-rays, moulds and impressions of your teeth taken, an etchant then a bracket is applied to the teeth. To adjust the positioning of the teeth or jaw, a wire is threaded through the brackets. Regular appointments are undertaken to tighten the wire in order for the teeth or jaw to be moved in the appropriate direction. After the treatment is completed, a retainer is worn to guard against a relapse while your teeth and jaw are stabilising. Your dentist will advise you on how to clean your teeth while wearing a brace.

Braces come in an array of styles to suit your personal preference, such as gold-plated, a variety of invisible braces or friction-free for faster treatment times. Correcting crooked teeth or a misaligned bite will aid in oral hygiene and give you the stunning smile you’ve always deserved. Available today in Central Leeds, don’t hesitate to enquire about this valuable treatment.

Orthodontic Treatment In The City Of Leeds

Tuesday, October 5th, 2010

According to a city of Leeds dentist, orthodontics covers one of the most important in dentistry. It centres on the mouth’s occlusion (the bite) and how to remedy any problems in the jaw’s position. This is achieved by correcting the growth of misaligned teeth, the coming together of the teeth, treating bruxism (teeth grinding) and teeth loss. This starts at a young age. Children are susceptible to teeth problems, especially as new teeth form in the mouth, and it is important to tackle any problems early on to protect the occlusion. Crooked teeth need to be addressed by the use of braces. This can take up to 5 years and can be very traumatic for the wearer who will often be subject to playground ridicule. Braces can also be fitted in later life as teeth are lost and subject to movement. But aside from the aesthetic advantages after the brace is removed, the importance of monitoring the occlusion are paramount to the health of the patient. Many of the body’s problems can stem from an unhealthy mouth. A bad occlusion can lead to wear on the jaw, gum disease, headaches, earaches, sinus and eye problems, and pain in the upper back. Before any treatments can be undertaken, any problems of teeth grinding must be addressed before an orthodontist can treat missing teeth with implants or bridges. Chipped teeth will be repaired with crowns, and bite positions (over, under and crooked), corrected with the fitting of a brace.
