Clear View Braces - Why Are They So Popular

What Are Clear View Braces And Why Are They So Popular?

When we hark back to orthodontic Manchester treatment of old then the first thing that may spring to mind is those metallic ‘train track’ style braces that many of us wore as children. They were uncomfortable, cumbersome, and unattractive. Thankfully things have moved on somewhat and nowadays adults looking to have braces have far more options open to them. One of these options is clear view braces. So what exactly are they?

Even though orthodontic treatments are more comfortable, lightweight, and varied than their predecessors, many still remain noticeable. For adults who would normally be expected to wear braces for 12 months or more depending upon the severity of their condition, it’s often enough to stop some from even considering it. However clear view brace systems such as Invisalign braces UK are different.

As the name suggests, because they’re made from clear plastic rather than metal, they are difficult to see when you smile. For many adults who already feel pretty self conscious about their appearance, it means that they can now happily undergo orthodontic treatment knowing that what they’re wearing is about as discreet as orthodontic Manchester treatments get.

But that’s not the only way that clear view braces such as Invisalign braces UK differ…

Orthodontic treatment such as Invisalign uses an aligner style treatment rather than the conventional bracket and wiring system. This means that instead of using brackets which are secured to the teeth with wiring running though them to push or pull the teeth back into position, they utilise a series of bespoke trays known as aligners. As the aligner is placed over the teeth it gently coerces them into a pre-planned position after which it’s time to swap that aligner for the next in the series. Each aligner is sized differently and after 9-18 months the teeth should be perfectly straight.

The advantages of wearing clear view braces such as these are plentiful. Firstly unlike the conventional bracket and wiring style they’re completely and easily removable. In fact they’re designed to be removed when eating or cleaning the teeth to avoid any food particles being caught. Secondly, because they’re made of a clear plastic and not metal, there are no sharp pieces that can wear away at the gums and tongue. Finally, because each aligner has to be custom made, patients get to see what their teeth will look like using computer aided design. In other words they’ll have a snap shot into the future of their brand new smile.

So are clear view braces for everyone?

In a word yes and no! Invisalign braces UK are designed to treat many orthodontic problems and as a result they’ll suit a wide range of patients. However because each aligner has to be custom-made  they don’t come cheap. In some cases they can be 2 or 3 times the cost of conventional brace systems and what’s more, they can’t be purchased on the NHS.

That said, many orthodontic Manchester practices operate flexible payment systems where treatments can be paid for over a period of time rather than one upfront payment, so it might be worth speaking to your dentist if cost is the only stumbling block.

If you’d like to find out more about how clear view braces such as Invisalign braces UK can change your life then come and talk to Church Road Dental and Cosmetics. Our experienced team of orthodontists will make sure that you have the right treatment to suit your needs and requirements.

Fastest Orthodontic Treatment And Does It Work

What’s The Fastest Orthodontic Treatment And Does It Work?

If you have an improper bite or crooked teeth and are looking to restore your great looking smile, there are a wide range of orthodontic treatments that will help you do exactly this. From procedures such as Inman Aligner treatment and Invisalign, through to more conventional metallic braces, they all offer various ways of straightening a patient’s teeth. The issue is that many of these procedures can often take up to 2 years to complete. So what’s the fastest orthodontic treatment and more importantly, how reliable is it?

At our smile dental clinic, the good news is that for those who don’t want to necessarily wait years to get results, we’ve got it covered. We offer a variety of treatments known as accelerated orthodontics which, as the name suggests, achieves results fast. In some cases straighter teeth can be achieved in as little as 2-3 months, offering the perfect solution for adults who lead busy lives.

So what type of accelerated orthodontic treatments are available?

Surprisingly there are a wide number of options available. These include treatments such as C-Fast, Secret Smile, and Six Month Smiles and to a certain extent, Inman Aligner treatment which also falls into this category. Although they’re designed differently, they all carry out the same job and that is to straighten teeth fast.

So how do they achieve this?

In essence, most accelerated or fast orthodontic treatment concentrates their efforts on straightening the teeth that can be seen when you smile. Unlike conventional longer-term orthodontic treatments, they aren’t designed to deal with complex bite issues or underlying problems. Instead they’re ideal for those with minor teeth problems, or for those who would like an improved smile. At our smile dental clinic our experienced orthodontics team can help you achieve exactly that.

So what’s the fastest orthodontic treatment?

There isn’t really a simple answer to this as it all depends on the degree of straightening that needs to be carried out. For example, if a patient had a slightly crooked front tooth that needed straightening then treatment such as C-Fast or Six Month Smiles could probably solve the problem in a matter of weeks. However if a patient had several visible crooked teeth that may be causing a slight bite problem, then the dentist may recommend Inman Aligner treatment which can take six months or more to deliver the desired results. The reality is that the speed of the treatment depends heavily on the severity of the problem.

If you’re a busy adult and are looking to improve the aesthetics of your crooked smile then come and talk to us about accelerated or fast orthodontic treatment.

Braces Before and After – Great Results, Great Teeth

Braces Before and After – Great Results, Great Teeth

If you’re an adult and it’s been suggested that you wear braces in Manchester to correct your teeth, then it’s understandable that you might be a little wary and somewhat apprehensive. The good news is that there are many types of brace systems on the market to suit both your requirements and needs. What’s more, as higher percentages of people are spending money on cosmetic dental treatments, adult orthodontics are becoming more and more popular.

For example, clear braces offers Manchester patients the chance to have orthodontic treatment using discreet brace systems. Some, such as Invisalign, do away with the conventional bracket and wiring style braces altogether, in favour of a series of removable plastic aligners which are worn over the teeth like an invisible gum shield. Some offer speedy solutions for those looking to correct the aesthetics of their smile, while other treatments are aimed at helping more complex dental issues. Whatever orthodontic treatment you choose, you can rest assured that the difference between braces before and after is often astonishing.

With this in mind, what type of treatments can adult orthodontics help?

It’s estimated that in the UK, around 20-25% of all orthodontic patients are adults. Nowadays people want their teeth to be healthier; they want a better bite, and they want them to look great. The good news is that orthodontic braces in Manchester have the ability to fix a number of problems. These include:

  • Misaligned bite – Overbite, underbite or a cross bite
  • Overcrowded teeth
  • Slight teeth gaps
  • Crooked teeth
  • Flared teeth

Whether you’re looking to straighten the upper and lower teeth that are visible when you smile, or are looking to correct an over or underbite, orthodontic treatments such as clear braces, offers Manchester patients the chance to restore their great looking smile.

So how do they work?

Despite the fact that there are many types of brace system available they all adopt the same principle. That is to gradually move the teeth back into position by applying gentle and sustained pressure. This may be done using a series of brackets and wires which are fastened to the teeth and are adjusted periodically. Alternatively, in the case of Invisalign, this is done using a series of custom-made aligners which are worn over the teeth. Whatever the case, the difference between braces before and after can be quite a transformation, and for the vast majority of people it’s worth the hassle, because the results can be life changing.

Invisalign Offers Manchester - An Alternative To Metal Braces

Invisalign Offers Manchester – An Alternative To Metal Braces

Unlike metal style braces, or clear fixed braces Manchester, Invisalign offers Manchester patients the chance to opt for the most contemporary braces Manchester clinics have. Despite the fact that they’re considerably more expensive than more conventional orthodontic treatments, many patients are swayed by their advantages. Let’s take a closer look at some of them.

Discretion

As the name suggests Invisalign braces are about as discreet as braces can be. Instead of a conventional bracket and wiring style fixing that most people associate with orthodontic treatment, Invisalign offers an alternative ‘aligner style’ solution. Here a series of unique and interchangeable plastic aligners are worn over the teeth rather like a gum shield. They work in exactly the same principle as other brace systems, in that they coax the teeth back into their correct position, by applying gentle and continual pressure. However because the plastic aligners negate the need for visible fixings, they’re incredibly discreet. Therefore for adults who feel self conscious about having a mouth full of metal, Invisalign offers Manchester patients an ideal solution.

They’re easily removable

Unlike conventional metal braces or clear fixed braces Manchester, Invisalign aligners are easily removable. They’re designed this way so that patients can take them out when eating and cleaning their teeth. One of the issues with fixed-style brace systems is that food particles can get lodged in between the fixings, and wearing them can also make it difficult to clean and floss teeth properly and thoroughly. That said, Invisalign braces still need to be worn for around 22 hours a day to be effective. However because of their ease of removal, patients do need a certain amount of will-power if they’re going to get the best out of the treatment.

Less time consuming

Metal style braces, and many clear fixed braces for that matter, usually need adjusting every 2-3 weeks. Normally this is done back at the dental practice. On the contrary, when a patient needs to swap their existing aligner for the next one in the sequence, it can easily be carried out at home by the wearer. Ultimately this means that instead of dental visits every 2-3 weeks, Invisalign patients only need to visit the dentist every 5-6 weeks for ongoing check-ups, so it’s far less time consuming.

Unlikely to cause irritation

Metal style braces in Manchester often contain sharp parts which can irritate the gum. This is why a wearer might have to return to the clinic when first fitted to get it right. Conversely, Invisalign aligners are made of clear plastic with no sharp edges, so they offer a more comfortable wearing experience.

As you can see Invisalign offers Manchester patients a refreshing alternative to metal braces and clear fixed braces Manchester. So if you’d like to try a different approach to conventional orthodontic braces, Manchester patients can come and talk to us about Invisalign. To book a no-obligation consultation you can ether contact us on 0161 660 1218 or visit our website at www.clearbracesmanchester.co.uk.  Remember don’t let your crooked teeth zap your confidence.

6 Month Smiles Manchester - What It Is And How It Works

6 Month Smiles Manchester – What It Is And How It Works?

When compared to other forms of orthodontic treatments such as Invisalign Manchester and lingual braces Manchester, 6 Month Smiles Manchester is a bit of an enigma. It might not be as discreet as lingual braces which are worn behind the teeth, or indeed aligner style orthodontics such as invisalign, but nonetheless, it’s a treatment which is proving very popular. With this in mind, what exactly is the 6 Month Smiles treatment, and how does it work?

6 Month Smiles is in essence a form of orthodontic treatment that is designed to correct and straighten the teeth which are visible when a person smiles. The system utilises tooth coloured nickel-titanium wiring and small metal brackets, which are fixed to the front of the teeth, to help correct a whole host of dental problems. Also, as the name suggests, it has the ability to correct problems within 6 months or under. This is a far cry from other orthodontic treatments that can take up to 3 years to complete.

So how does it work?

Unlike lingual braces Manchester which gently push and pull the teeth from the back, or Invisalign which place the teeth back into position using a series of a fitted trays known as aligners, 6 Month Smiles uses a combination of low force and low movement. Every time the tooth-coloured wiring is adjusted it gently and gradually pulls the teeth back into position using small movements. Over a period of 6 months, teeth are moved back into position.

What about disadvantages?

Unlike Invisalign Manchester and lingual braces, 6 Month Smiles is not designed to be a comprehensive orthodontic treatment. Instead it concentrates its efforts purely on the aesthetics of a patient’s smile. It can’t fix issues such as bite or occlusion corrections so  it isn’t the ideal solution for everyone

So who is it for?

Anyone that suffers from mild diastemas and spacing, tooth crowding, overlapping teeth, rotating teeth or extrusions/intrusions, might be an ideal candidate for 6 Month Smiles. Manchester dental practices will often recommend the treatment for use in these circumstances. Because it provides noticeable results fast, it’s ideal for those people wanting to transform their smile for a specific event. This might include a wedding or graduation, a job interview, an upcoming holiday, or even a special date.

To sum up

6 Month Smiles is an innovative cost-effective solution for those concerned purely with the aesthetics of their smile. As such it’s designed specifically to straighten the upper and lower front teeth that are visible when we smile. Treatment takes anything from 3 months to 6 months (hence the name). Unlike lingual braces Manchester or Invisalign, Manchester orthodontists will advise that they aren’t designed to fix underlying or complex dental issues, but instead are ideal for those wanting a discreet quick-fix solution.

Lingual Braces Before and After - Orthodontics Really Works

Lingual Braces Before and After – Orthodontics Really Works!

If you were to take a look at lingual braces before and after pictures, or an Inman Aligner before and after picture, you’ll see that orthodontic treatments really do work. At our smile Manchester clinic based in Cheadle Hulme we’re more than happy to show people the results that they could achieve by undergoing adult orthodontics using discreet removable or fixed braces. So how do they work and how long do they take?

Orthodontic treatments can fix a number of dental problems including crooked teeth, gapped or flared teeth, or even an over/underbite. Although brace and aligner style systems differ immensely in terms of design and fit, they all follow the same principle. That is to gently push or pull the teeth back into alignment using gradual but continual force. Over time (and this depends upon the degree of treatment needed) the wearer is left with straighter aligned teeth and a smile that they can be proud of.

In some cases the transformation between lingual braces before and after or an Inman Aligner before and after can be huge. In others, transformations may be more subtle. What’s more important is that at the end of the treatment, the patient is happy.

So what type of brace systems can a patient have?

There are many underlying factors that dictate the type of orthodontic treatment a patient will have.  These include:

  • Cost  – Some orthodontic treatments are more costly than others, so budgets may need to be taken into consideration
  • Type of problem – Certain brace systems are better at dealing with particular dental issues than others.
  • Patient’s needs – What does the patient want? Are they looking to treat just the aesthetics of their smile, or would they rather take a holistic approach to their teeth
  • Comfort and fit – Some brace systems may be better suited to an individual than others, so comfort and fit are important
  • Confidence levels – Certain adults might feel confident in their appearance and as such may be more than happy to wear modern-day bracket and wire style brace systems. Conversely others, who are more worried about their looks might prefer something far more discreet.

At our smile Manchester clinic we’ll take on board the needs of the patient, and balance this with the type of treatment needed, to come up with an orthodontic system that works for you. It could be that an accelerated brace treatment suits, such as C-Fast, Six Month Smiles or Secret Smile. Alternatively, a patient may need longer term treatment but would prefer to keep it discreet. In this case they might choose lingual braces which are fastened to the back of the teeth and not the front, or they may ditch the bracket and wiring style of brace altogether and opt for an aligner style treatment such as Invisalign.

As you can see, if you aren’t happy with your smile, Manchester orthodontic treatments can certainly help. Here at Church Road Dental and Cosmetics we invite you to check out our lingual braces before and after pictures, or an Inman Aligner before and after picture, to see the confidence boosting results that can actually be achieved.

Orthodontics Manchester – What's Life Like after Treatment

Orthodontics Manchester – What’s Life Like after Treatment

It can be pretty daunting knowing that you’re about to start a long term dental procedure such as orthodontic Manchester treatment. However when you get to the point where you’ve completed your orthodontics Manchester treatment and your braces can eventually come off, you should notice a huge difference in your smile. Not only that, you should also notice a difference in you and your life moving forwards. Let’s take a look at what that might be like.

You’ll be able to take better care of your teeth

As a smile dentist Manchester one of the first things we tell patients contemplating undergoing orthodontic treatment is that they’ll be able to take better care of their teeth. Let’s face it, when teeth are crooked and uneven, it can be difficult to brush and floss properly. Not only that, the nooks and crannies left when teeth are crooked makes it easier for food particles to become trapped. This can lead to a build up of plaque which in turn can ultimately lead to tooth decay.  Even though you mightn’t think so when you are wearing aligners or braces you will have healthier teeth.

You’ll have a healthier you!

You’ll probably be aware of the importance of oral hygiene for your teeth, but what you may not know is that successful orthodontic treatment in Manchester can not only aid your dental hygiene abilities, but can also mean a healthier you. There’s strong evidence to show that bacteria from severe gum disease for example can get into the blood stream causing an increased risk in heart disease, so by keeping your teeth in good healthy condition, it can also mean a healthier you

You’ll have way more confidence

Often when people suffer with missing, badly stained, or crooked teeth it can knock their confidence as they tend to hide their smile, and some even withdraw from social situations. Once your orthodontics Manchester treatment is complete and you can look in the mirror at your smile, it will fill you with confidence. What’s more, a great looking smile is undoubtedly more attractive and can also portray a certain level of confidence to others that you mightn’t necessarily have had previously.

You’ll be happier

Did you know that the more you smile the happier you become. According to research, when a person smiles more, even when they don’t particularly feel like it, they tend to score higher on a series of tests related to happiness. Clearly if you’ve just got back your great looking smile, then it’s likely you’re going to want to smile more anyway; and hey presto, a happier you emerges!

So there you have it – A fully restored smile can do so much for your health, your confidence, and your happiness so it’s no wonder why more and more people are seeking orthodontic Manchester treatment.

Fast Orthodontic Treatment – Does It Really Work

Fast Orthodontic Treatment – Does It Really Work?

At our smiles dental Manchester clinic we help people restore their smile using a variety of orthodontic treatments. Before patients come to us, many are under the impression that they have to put up with metal style braces for lengthy periods of time to cure their problematic teeth. However those same patients are usually surprised when we tell them about fast orthodontic treatment. So what exactly is it and does it really work?

In essence speedy orthodontics are brace systems that are designed to work fast. Instead of taking 18-36 months to straighten crooked teeth like conventional braces would, they take anywhere between 2-6 months to achieve the desired results. What’s more, when it comes to cost, if you compare speedy treatments such as the Inman aligner, cost UK is on a par with other conventional brace systems. So surely it’s a win/win situation all round?  After all, the patient gets treated quicker and it doesn’t really cost them any more money right? Well – the answer to this is both yes and no.

Let me explain….

A fast orthodontic treatment is speedy for a reason. That’s because it usually straightens only the visible upper and lower teeth that can be seen when you smile. In other words it deals purely with the aesthetics.

Many people who visit our smiles dental Manchester clinic have mild to moderate tooth problems. These include unsightly crooked, gapped, or flared teeth. As a result they may only be concerned about how their smile can be improved and are not necessarily concerned with any underlying workings. This is completely understandable and as long as they’re happy with the end results, then that’s fine. In these cases speedy treatments such as C-fast, Inman Aligners, Six month Smiles, and Secret Smiles are ideal.

However, for those with more serious dental problems, or those that are concerned with correcting the whole mouth, including non-visible upper and lower back teeth, severe tooth crowding, and root misalignment, accelerated or quick brace systems won’t work in these cases.

Alternatively if a patient does need lengthy orthodontic treatment and discretion is an issue (eg, they don’t feel comfortable with a mouth full of metal) then they can opt for fixed clear brace systems such as lingual braces or removable aligner style systems such as Invisalign. Both of these treatments are designed to be incredibly discreet.

The bottom line is that there are a multitude of orthodontic treatments suitable for your dental condition, requirements, and/or budget. It maybe that a fast orthodontic treatment is ideal for you, or that an Inman aligner cost UK price, fits right in with your budget. Alternatively you might prefer a holistic corrective approach to your smile that will take longer but is better suited to your dental condition. In fact whatever your dental problem, pay a visit to our smile dental Manchester clinic and talk to our experienced team.

To book your free, no obligation consultation, contact us on 0161 660 1218 or visit our website at www.clearbracesmanchester.co.uk. On behalf of the team at Church Road Dental and Cosmetics, we very much look forward to helping you restore your great looking smile.

Lingual Braces Manchester -What Are They And How Do They Work

Lingual Braces Manchester -What Are They And How Do They Work?

As a patient looking for adult teeth straightening treatment you may already know about discreet forms of orthodontic treatment such as Invisalign Manchester or the Inman aligner. Manchester clinics, however, will have a large selection of orthodontic treatments at their disposal based on the needs and requirements of the dental patient, and this includes lingual braces Manchester. But what exactly are they and how do they work? Let’s take a closer look.

Lingual braces – A great aesthetic solution

Often there are many reasons why a patient can’t have ‘aligner’ style braces such as Invisalign. However just because they’ve decided to opt for more conventional ‘bracket and wiring’ style orthodontic treatments, it doesn’t mean that they have to be attached to the front of your teeth. Instead there are some braces that do their work behind the teeth and these are called lingual braces. The term ‘lingual’ derives from the Latin ‘lingua’ meaning tongue, and unlike many other forms of brace system, including the Inman aligner Manchester, they offer a truly discreet form of orthodontic treatment. When a lingual brace wearer smiles, the recipient isn’t greeted by a mouth full of metal. In other words lingual brace systems offer the perfect aesthetic solution for those who would otherwise feel particularly self-conscious.

That’s all well and good, but how do they work?

Like most brace systems, small brackets are cemented to the teeth (in this case the back of the teeth) and a series of wires work in harmony to gently but continually put pressure on the teeth. Gradually over time (usually a period of 18-36 months – depending upon severity) the teeth are coaxed back into their correct position. Lingual braces can be used to correct all manner of dental problems including teeth overcrowding, over bites, crooked teeth, flared teeth, and even gapped teeth. Just like Invisalign, Manchester patients will find that their lingual braces will need to be custom made. Because of this they can be relatively costly and it’s fair to say that there are cheaper options on the market. However when it comes to discretion, lingual braces are about as discreet as bracket and wiring style braces get. For this reason they’re becoming more and more popular.

The other point to remember is that not all orthodontists offer lingual braces in Manchester because technical expertise is needed to properly fit them. For this reason you might have to do your homework and search for a dental practice that offers them. There are a wide variety of lingual braces available including Incognito braces, ibraces, In-Ovation, and STB Light lingual system, but the good news is that they all carry out the same job. It’s unlikely that your dentist will carry all of these makes and furthermore, there’s no evidence to support the fact that one particular brand is better than any other. However to ensure you get the very best out of your lingual braces Manchester, thorough brushing and flossing is key. The reason for this is that like all brace systems, food debris can get caught up in and around the brackets and if left, it can cause plaque to build up.

If you’re searching for a discreet orthodontic treatment and don’t want to opt for aligner style brace systems such as an Inman Aligner Manchester or Invisalign, Manchester patients really should consider lingual braces. To find out more about these, or indeed any other style of orthodontic treatment, why not book yourself a free, no obligation consultation with Shi Karim and the team.

Fast Orthodontic Treatment – What Is It And How Can It Help

Fast Orthodontic Treatment – What Is It And How Can It Help?

Recent advances in orthodontic technology now means that people who are unhappy with the overall aesthetics of their smile can opt for fast orthodontic treatment. So if you’ve seen Inman aligner before and after pictures, or other treatments such as C-Fast or Six Month Smiles on the internet, then these are all types of accelerated orthodontic procedures.

That’s all well and good, but bearing in mind that conventional brace systems can take anything up to 3 years to complete just how quick are they? Our Smiles Dental Manchester clinic explains…

Fast or accelerated brace systems have the ability to straighten teeth in a matter of weeks and months rather than years. However it does depend upon the severity of the case. As an example, a person with good teeth that suffers with mild overcrowding, may only need orthodontic treatment lasting 6-8 weeks. Conversely, a person suffering with moderate teeth overcrowding may need treatment lasting up to six months. Even so, this is still a far cry from the time taken for other brace systems to restore a patient’s smile.

So how do they work?

In essence fast orthodontic treatment is the name given to a variety of brace systems and aligner style braces, and treatments that may suit one person, mightn’t suit another. They all carry out the same task of applying sustained and gentle pressure to gradually move teeth back into position but they do it in different ways. For example the Inman aligner uses a discreet spring to push and pull teeth back into position, whereby others such as C-fast use more conventional bracket and wiring style systems to achieve their goals.

So why are they so fast?

If you look at Inman Aligner before and after pictures on the internet, for example, you’ll see some pretty amazing results in such a short space of time. This is because it’s designed specifically to concentrate its efforts on the upper and lower front teeth that are noticeable when you smile. So for someone who has mild to moderate tooth overcrowding and is concerned with the aesthetics of their smile, then accelerated orthodontic treatments are ideal. However because of the time scale there are some aspects that fast orthodontic treatments cannot fix such as;

  • The straightening of tooth roots
  • Severe tooth overcrowding and
  • Issues with upper and lower back teeth

For these reasons our Smiles Dental Manchester clinic would suggest that fast orthodontic treatment isn’t for everyone.

So who can it help?

It’s perfect for those people who generally have good teeth but are looking to get the best out of their smile. For example, it may be because they have a special day coming up such as a wedding,  a date, or an interview, and understandably want to look their best. Alternatively, it maybe because they’re simply looking enhance the look of their smile to restore some much needed confidence Either way, accelerated adult orthodontic treatment can help to achieve the smile they crave.
