How to Straighten Your Smile in Total Secret

Thursday, November 10th, 2016

18625010Years ago, it may have seemed impossible to straighten your teeth in secret. Fast forward to 2016, and this is a very real possibility. If you dream of having straight teeth, but you don’t want the hassle of other people seeing your braces, we bring you good news. With our incredible invisible brace options, you’ll have a beautiful smile without anyone even guessing that you’ve had braces.

Our treatments

We have two main options for those who are looking for a secret new smile. The first is invisible brace systems like Invisalign. The second is lingual brace treatments like STb lingual braces.

Invisalign is one of the world’s most popular clear brace treatments. It works by using a series of customised clear plastic aligners to gently move the teeth and realign the top and bottom arches. Invisalign aligners are comfortable, light, and most importantly, virtually invisible. You take them out to eat and clean your teeth, so they have almost no impact on your day to day life. You can socialise and work without anyone being able to see that you’re wearing braces. Invisalign is generally recommended for patients who have minor or moderate orthodontic needs. Treatment time is around 12-18 months.

Lingual braces are the ultimate choice for patients in search of secret treatment. These high-tech braces sit behind your teeth, so nobody can see them. Each bracket is custom-made to fit the contours of your individual teeth. STb lingual braces are ideal for those with minor problems such as mild crowding and crooked front teeth and are designed to tackle issues that involve the social 6, the front six teeth on the top and bottom arches.

Which treatment is best for me?

There’s no universal answer to this question. Every patient is different and one option may suit your orthodontic needs and your personal preferences more than the other. If you’re interested in treatment, why not call and book a consultation. We can have a look at your teeth, go through the ins and outs of the both treatments and help you decide which option would be most beneficial.

Straighter Teeth are More Achievable Than Ever Before!

Thursday, June 2nd, 2016

header_image4How the process works

Invisalign is a progressive tooth straightening alternative to braces. This innovation uses clear tooth retainers that support your teeth and provides them with the scaffolding they require to pull them into an aligned position.

You firstly need to be assessed by your dentist, which will result in impressions of your teeth being taken, so sizes and shapes – everything – is taken into account.

Using the model coupled with your personal treatment plan (given to you by the dentist) software can then calculate the projected movement of your teeth from their current position to perfect alignment.

The virtual tour of your teeth’s progress allows you to feel more comfortable about exactly what the result will look like.

After your assessments and viewing your treatment plan, a series of nearly invisible retainers will be manufactured. You will then be given a set of these, which you are required to change every two weeks. The Invisalign retainers should be taken out when eating, drinking and cleaning.

The basic idea is that each set of retainers is shaped fractionally closer to what you want your teeth to look like, to allow your teeth to grow into the position you desire little by little.

What does Invisalign treat?

Invisalign can be used to cure overlapped, gappy, crossbitten, over/underbitten teeth and is designed not to impede on your lifestyle. Braces can do this, however, with Invisalign you can take your retainer out and continue to live your life – eventually with a straight, confident smile.

How is Invisalign Different from Other Braces?

Wednesday, May 4th, 2016

header_image4Invisalign is a modern and discrete braces innovation designed to treat mild orthodontic conditions such as crooked, protruding, irregular spaced or overcrowded teeth. Producing scientifically proven, teeth-enhancing results for thousands of people all over the world since 1997, Align Technology Inc. have produced this modern braces system with the holistic care of diverse individuals in mind.

The Invisalign system differs from other braces in:

  • Custom-made orthodontic technology
  • Choices in Invisalign systems
  • Unique teeth-straightening function
  • Near-invisible aesthetics
  • Removable design
  • Convenience and comfort
  • Effective treatment time
  • Smile-enhancing results

Bespoke Invisalign technology creates individual 3D images and care plans. The Invisalign system comprises sets of custom-made clear removable aligners that gently straighten teeth in orthodontic stages. Every two weeks the invisible aligners are replaced to further position teeth into their correct alignment.

The benefits of Invisalign

Invisalign aligners are made of clear plastic resin, looking like a transparent mouth shield that elegantly fits over a full arch of teeth.

Invisalign is easily removed for eating, sports, music and cleaning activities. Speaking and eating function is not impeded by Invisalign braces and oral hygiene can easily be maintained during treatment. Invisalign custom-moulds to an individual’s oral contours for the utmost comfort and convenience during daily activities.

The Invisalign system is the number one choice as an alternative to uncomfortable traditional braces systems. Individuals wear Invisalign braces for approximately 22 hours per day. Within 12 to 18 months, individuals enjoy their newly aligned teeth after treatment. A retainer may be provided for temporary enforcement of new teeth position. Invisalign transforms the smile for greater confidence and attraction.

Invisalign – a Discreet Brace System

Thursday, October 22nd, 2015

header_image4Invisalign braces are removable, clear aligners that are used as an invisible alternative to braces made of metal. They are suitable for all people of all ages, and work to straighten and correct teeth in the same way as metal braces.

Invisalign is the perfect solution for those who feel their smile needs adjusting or improving. The technique used for Invisalign is also used to successfully treat overly spaced or overcrowded teeth. Invisalign braces can also help with crossbites, overbites and underbites.

Benefits of Invisalign braces:

  • They can be removed, allowing you to floss, eat and drink normally, as well as take them out for a special occasion
  • You will have an improved smile even before the treatment is complete
  • The braces are comfortable and will not irritate your cheeks or gums due to their smooth edges
  • They are totally clear and practically invisible, so no-one needs to know that you are undergoing treatment

Treatment is made up of 4 stages:

  • The first appointment at City Dental Leeds will involve discussion of problems with your smile, in terms of both aesthetics and function. You will also be asked what results you are hoping for. Once it has been established that Invisalign is right for you, your treatment can be planned.
  • Photos and impressions of your teeth will be taken and sent to Invisalign so that they can create 3D images of your treatment. This will allow the dentist to see what your teeth will look like at all stages of the process, as well as allowing you to get a glimpse of what the final result will be.
  • Aligners to be worn at each stage in the treatment will be created and customised using state-of-the-art technology. Usually between 20 and 30 aligners for each arch will be required during treatment, although this will vary for each patient.
  • Aligners must be worn at all times, apart from while you are eating and drinking. This is necessary for treatment to be completed in the time frame determined at the start. You will need to attend check-ups so that your progress can be monitored and your aligners swapped. You will be able to observe your teeth gradually shifting into the correct position throughout the treatment, leaving you with a smile you can be proud of.
