The ‘whys’ and the ‘hows’ of Teeth Straightening in Central Leeds

Monday, April 29th, 2013

If you are a little worried about the fact that you have to have your teeth straightened, for whatever the reason, take heart from the fact that this is a golden era for orthodontics in central Leeds and there are so many more options open to you to get the job done. Teeth’s straightening comes in two halves: you can go for an aligner or fixed braces, but there is a new philosophy that covers both choices, and that is to make your treatment as unimposing in the mouth as is possible and as quick as is possible. Some of the removable aligners over from the States are remarkable for this: a couple in particular are completely see-through and difficult to see when fitted into the mouth; they also work faster than traditional braces. However, they are not that clever when it comes to complex work and this is where fixed braces come in. They too are made from more sympathetic and subtle materials but are more intricate in the way they work, dealing with bespoke work on the teeth. Before you choose anything, ask your dentists about the choices open to you; it may be down to price, it may be down to the type of work you require for your teeth, but either way, getting your teeth straightened can only benefit your oral health in the future.

 

Leeds dentists advise on Inman aligners to straighten teeth effectively

Thursday, February 24th, 2011

For anyone put off getting their teeth straightened by the thought of wearing an unsightly metal brace for as much as three years, things have changed and new products are available that are far more discreet and work far quicker than traditional braces. One such product is the Inman aligner and you should read on for more information.
Inman aligners are far quicker than traditional braces, in fact the average treatment is just six months, that’s about a quarter of the typical period spent wearing a traditional brace. They are far more discreet too as they do not involve all of the metal brackets and wires that were so troubling for so many youths who had to wear traditional braces. In fact the only visible part of Inman aligners is a single metal bar running across the front teeth.
They are also completely removable which means you don’t have to worry about one of the less popular aspects of metal braces: food getting trapped and leading to bad breath. You can take your Inman aligner out to clean it whenever it is necessary to do so.
Inman aligners work with the power of a concealed, coiled spring which gently pushes the teeth against the afore mentioned straightening bar at the front of the mouth. As such they are not suitable for actually rotating teeth but for issues with alignment and straightening, aligners from Inman are very effective.
You might think that with all of the improvements on traditional methods that Inman aligners offer, they would be more expensive but actually they cost roughly the same as most other orthodontic treatments. If you need to know any more information then you should be sure to ask your Leeds dentist next time you are in the surgery.
