If you’ve been looking for a smile dentist Manchester to seek advice on restoring your smile, you may have heard the term ‘fast orthodontic treatment‘ being banded about. Unlike conventional orthodontic treatments, accelerated brace systems and aligners can carry out the job of straightening a patient’s teeth in as little as 3-6 months. Sounds too good to be true right? The question is, do they work? Let’s take a closer look.
Orthodontic treatments for adults are becoming more popular and systems such as C-fast, Lingual Braces and the Inman Aligner, cost UK patients hundreds of thousand of pounds every year. In fact people are spending more now on cosmetic dentistry than ever before and not without good reason. Well, several actually….
Firstly – Cosmetic dentistry is far more accessible now than ever before as more and more dental clinics are offering this service.
Secondly – Because cosmetic dentistry is now more mainstream, there’s greater competition. This means that people no longer have to pay ‘Hollywood celebrity’ prices to have specific treatment done.
Finally – Many treatments such as teeth whitening and quick orthodontic treatments are exactly this. They can be done fast. Therefore they fit in perfectly with our modern 21st century lifestyles.
So getting back to fast orthodontic treatment many people are only concerned with the aesthetics of their smile i.e, does it look good? For this reason treatments like C-Fast, Six Month Smiles, and to a certain extent, the Inman Aligner, fit the bill perfectly. So how do they work exactly?
Even though each brace system is different they all use the same principle of applying gentle and continued pressure to push or pull the teeth back into the right position. However. because these types of treatments are fast or accelerated procedures, they concentrate their efforts mainly on the upper and lower teeth that are primarily visible when the patient smiles.
So what does this mean?
Although they’re perfect for correcting the aesthetics of a smile, they won’t correct more complex orthodontic issues. Therefore if you visit a smile dentist in Manchester and you have a severe over or underbite or severe overcrowding then unfortunately fast orthodontic treatment won’t be the best choice for you. However if you have an annoying gap that’s visible when you smile, or visible front teeth that are slightly out of alignment, then speedier treatments may just be the perfect solution.
