Once in a blue moon, something comes along that wins the heart and popularity of a place like central Leeds, something that is going to end the years of suffering that people have had to endure, something that will set you free. In dental circles, one that has done just that is the Inman aligner. Now if you have been tortured all of you life with your teeth yet never got around to doing anything about it, you should check out this miraculous little gadget. Sadly, it’s only affective for people that have buck front teeth, but for those who fit the bill, this is the answer to all your prayers. It is a push-and-pull device that keeps the teeth in a continuous flux of movement during the time the treatment runs, which means the teeth shift very, very quickly- the best boasts for this aligner being as quick as 6 weeks! Now considering the price, that equates at around £250 a week on average. The Inman is made especially to suit your mouth and during any time in the treatment, you can take it out to clean or for whatever takes your fancy. Because the teeth have moved so rapidly, they will have the desire to spring back out so you need to wear a retainer afterwards. But forget all of this, the point is we are talking about a device that can end all those years of hurt in less than 2 months, now that should be an incentive for anyone.
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.
You might be thinking of getting your teeth straightened out so that you have a brilliant, healthy looking smile which you can be proud of. This is a common desire but many people are put off by the thought of having to wear an unsightly metal brace for several years. But this is no longer the only way to solve the problem of crooked teeth.
Okay. You’ve met the person of your dreams in a pub in central Leeds. This is the one for you. They’ve seen past your rather medieval front teeth and seen into your soul. This love is so rich and pure, and so immediate, that you even want to sanction it with a marriage in a couple of months time. So then, why is there this uncomfortable feeling eating away at the bliss of true love that courses through your heart, just before you sleep at night? Because those teeth of yours are gonna look awful in the wedding and honeymoon photos, right? Right! But help is at hand my friend, thanks to the Inman aligner. It doesn’t matter how old you are, this treatment is designed to fix your teeth in as little as 6 weeks. Its unique design and mechanism means it can only be used on the front teeth. Once the aligner has been placed in the mouth, a thin metallic wire around the front of the teeth starts to pull the teeth into place. In the meantime, a spring operated device applies pressure in the opposite direction, practically rocking the teeth gently into position. Another advantage of the aligner is that throughout the treatment, it can be removed, allowing you to eat normally and maintain your oral hygiene. But the price is equally attractive at around £1400, that’s about £30 a day- that’s enough to put a smile on your face, eh?
Choosing the right type of brace in central Leeds can be a bit of a minefield but it is important, for many reasons, to get your teeth fixed and keep them healthy. Your choice can boil down to what you can afford, how much work you require or and even how vain you are (wearing a brace can also affect you psychologically). Whatever you choose, there are a lot of options out there, so a consultation with your dentist should point you in the right direction. The most popular braces are those that are discreet and removable. The Inman aligner is the fastest on the market, working on the front teeth in as little a 6 weeks, and it’s removable which is great for dinner dates and hygiene. As are the Clearstep and Invisalign treatments. These are clear, removable mouth guards that align the teeth a lot faster than conventional fixed, wire braces and are virtually invisible in the mouth. The Damon brace is a more common brace on the market. Though fixed, it incorporates clear or tooth coloured ceramic plates on the teeth connected by a single wire that is adjusted regularly at the dentist, but does require more attention to oral hygiene. The other alternative is the 6-month smile. This fixed brace is aimed more at the adult market and does what it claims in 6 months; again, it is designed for discretion in the mouth.
If you are resigned to the fact that you have to wear a brace, chances are you’re thinking of the more traditional methods where you are subjected to up to 3 years of hell. Well you should think again, says a dentist from the city of Leeds. The field of orthodontics deals with maintaining the correct alignment to occlusion or the bite of the jaw. To do this can involve the fitting of braces. But with the advances in technology and modern dentist procedures, this doesn’t have to be a long drawn out process anymore, thanks to three revolutionary techniques. The Inman aligner is aimed primarily at the front teeth of adults. A coil spring exerts pressure on the teeth, whilst a bar behind reverses that pressure. The result is that the teeth are gently pushed and pulled into position and the process can be over in as little as 6 weeks. This is also a lot cheaper than other techniques. The Damon brace uses a self-ligating wire to allow the brace to move with the teeth. It appears discreet in the mouth and is easy to clean and quicker than conventional braces. The most expensive option is the Invasalign. An ‘invisible’ retainer is fitted to the teeth and can carry out full adjustment of the teeth in a minimum of 12 months. It has to be changed every month, but its main advantage is that it can be removed during eating and when cleaning the teeth.
More and more teenagers and adolescents in the UK are being treated with orthodontic braces. These are straightening devices made from plastic, ceramic and metal that are attached to the teeth in an effort to manipulate them into a more aesthetically pleasing position. Braces are used to treat a variety of alignment, spacing and bite issues
