What is the best age to get braces in Loughborough?

Posted on: August 26th, 2014 by freshadmin No Comments

Some patients wonder if there is a best age to get braces. Are braces only suited for children, or adults can give it a shot, too? Questions like that have only one answer…

You should be showing your back to whoever tells you braces are only for children. Here, at Straight Teeth Suite in Loughborough, we have treated patients of all ages because we strongly believe that it is NEVER too late to get a beautiful smile and straight teeth. In other words, age is never a contraindication, nor should it ever be.

In fact, the huge majority of our patients is adults, between their 30’s and mid-60’s. Some of these patients came to us after they had already completed their orthodontic treatment at a younger age, but have seen their teeth moving back to their original position and becoming crooked again, to their great disappointment.

This is common and happens when you don’t wear a retainer after the completion of your braces treatment. Someone must inform you that your braces treatment is not over with the removal or braces, which is what also distinguishes a true professional that respects his job and his patients from one that only sees you as a cash cow.

Don’t go far; the famous singer Faith Hill, who had braces on just recently, was asked about her orthodontic treatment. She said that she didn’t wear a retainer upon the completion of her braces treatment (during her childhood), and she had to go for a treatment again now. That is why she urged all her fans and listeners never to forget their retainers.

Why People Want To Wear Braces? Most Common Reasons

Apart from having to wear braces because they didn’t wear their retainer, as previously mentioned, people also decide to have braces for a number of reasons. For example:

  • They have reached a stage in their life when they feel it is time to focus more on themselves.
  • Keeping their teeth clean has become a struggle.
  • They have biting issues that prevent them from enjoying a fine meal and a happy everyday life, or doesn’t allow them to have a necessary implant.
  • Their teeth are crowded and want them straightened for aesthetic reasons, or any other.

An Indicative Case

Here is a patient who had a tooth that could not be saved. Of course, removing it was the only option, so the patient wished for an implant. However, he had crowded teeth and an uneven bite, so our experts at Straight Teeth Suite proposed the option to straighten the teeth, in order to both ensure perfect alignment AND improve his bite, at the same time. With an aesthetically pleasing final outcome guaranteed, the patient decided to go for this option.

We went for upper and lower 6 Month Braces treatment and then had his teeth whitened. The bad tooth was removed, an implant was fitted to match the rest of the teeth, and you can now see the excellent results achieved!

Do You Have A Right To A Wide Smile? By All Means!

Happiness and being able to share smiles with the world is not a privilege only of the younger ages. Everybody should have a reason to smile for, and have beautifully aligned teeth that are a true sight for sore eyes!

How to treat front-teeth gaps?

Posted on: July 28th, 2014 by freshadmin No Comments

Having gapped teeth, or also referred to as diastema (from the Greek word that means “space”), is one of the reasons many people hold themselves back from smiling. Although one’s happiness is definitely not dependent upon the position of his or her teeth, or whether their mouth is overcrowded or not, having gapped teeth can certainly make many lose their confidence. However, there is no need to worry over front teeth that have noticeable spaces between them. Straight Teeth Suite offers a variety of options to close these gaps. For example, we can either use removable teeth straightening systems, like Invisalign and Smilelign or a fixed option, like 6 Month Braces. What are these options? Let’s take a closer look…

            1. Invisalign and Smilelign

Having Invisalign aligners is a great alternative for those that want out of the metal braces that they feel are unaesthetic and hold them back from what they really enjoy doing within the day. Invisalign is a clear aligner system that you can remove from your teeth.

Smilelign aligners is another excellent choice, cut for people that don’t like metal braces and prefer a modern approach to straightening teeth. Again, with clear braces that you can remove, you can achieve the same splendid results as with conventional treatments.

What you need to do is get some impression moulds of your teeth (by our expert dentist) to make 3D images out of them within a few minutes (completely painless), before we make clear braces that fit perfectly to your teeth and are so discreet even you will forget about wearing them! If you don’t want a fixed option, like the one mentioned right after, either Invisalign or Smilelign will work like a charm for you!

               2. 6 Month Braces

Lingual Braces or 6 Month Braces are ideal for those that don’t want removable aligners. They are hardly noticeable, plus you don’t need to worry about taking them in or out when eating and drinking, which makes them quite appealing to many of our patients.

Regardless of which treatment you choose, you will get guaranteed discretion as you wear your braces to close your front teeth gap, and excellent results within a limited time.

How much time does it take to close your front teeth gaps?

Minor spaces are usually closed in as little as 3 months while bigger spaces may need a bit more than that. At this point, please note that, like any other braces treatment, you will need to wear retainers to help your teeth maintain their new position and prevent relapse. Also, a great idea is to have your teeth whitene, at the end of your treatment! That way, you can achieve an amazing and long-lasting result that turn heads!

The days you felt sad for your front-teeth gaps are long gone. Straight Teeth Suite in Loughborough has the solutions for you that guarantee full success and a breath-taking result. Just contact us and be prepared to enjoy your new wide healthy white smiles!

 

What is the best straight teeth option for adults in Nottingham?

Posted on: July 1st, 2014 by freshadmin No Comments

Many people think braces are only for the younger ages, around adolescence, which is why a number of adults used to be withdrawn from pursuing a beautiful smile and lovely straight teeth. Thankfully, this all has started to change over the last decades, and people of all ages have come to the realization that an enhanced well-being and daily routine, through increased self-confidence and a wide inviting, bright, smile is everyone’s right.

In regards the orthodontic treatments available right now, one of the most popular teeth straightening options in Nottingham is the 6 Month Braces one. We feel proud that our dentist at Straight Teeth Suite was among the pioneers that had first been trained and successfully implemented this treatment in the entire country. The 6 Month Braces is a tested method with hundreds of successfully completed cases in our practice, so we implicitly recommend it to adults in Nottingham and nearby cities that want a fast and discreet way to improve their smile.

It is an orthodontic treatment widely popular among brides that want to be more confident smiling for their special days; we have had hundreds of such cases that we were happy to serve. It is also a much preferred option for those that want to go passed unnoticed when wearing braces. We had plenty of adults having treatment done and no one noticed they had braces on until the end, when they were proud to show off their new smiles!

What does 6 Month Braces consist of?

This orthodontic treatment consists of fixed tooth coloured braces attached to the front of the teeth and a tooth coloured wire which allows the teeth to move. The best thing about it is that you don’t have to worry about taking the braces out and you can even eat and drink with the braces in, unlike other treatment options.

With this treatment, you can correct up to 8 front teeth simultaneously (both top and bottom) in just about a 6-month time!

Am I Suitable for this Orthodontic Treatment?

Most likely yes, as long as you have healthy teeth and gums. As previously mentioned, it is a treatment used to fix up to 8 front teeth on both jaws. So, if your concerns are just these teeth, then you are good to go!

It is also a suggested and recommended teeth straightening option in Nottingham if you do not have any serious bite issues, such as crossbites, underbites, or overbites. If this is the case, you will need to go through other available orthodontic treatment options to address this issue and get you the perfectly aligned teeth and that beautiful smile you have always longed for. Finally, 6 month braces are ideal if you had braces in the past and wish to save yourself from having to wear them again for another 2 years.

I am convinced that this treatment best suits my needs. What next?

You set up an appointment with our dentists, here at Straight Teeth Suite, and they will evaluate your case at full. As soon as the 6 month braces treatment is complete, you can also opt for tooth whitening, so you amaze everybody with a delightful straight white smile! At this point, please note that you need to have retainers in the end to ensure your teeth don’t move, which is standard procedure to all orthodontic treatments.

Our oral health is important, so every orthodontic treatment should only be practiced by professionals with immense experience in their field. Straight Teeth Suite has awarded experts working on each case, ensuring you get maximum results within the promised time. So, wherever you are at Nottingham, or surrounding areas, feel free to ask for a quote and start a journey where the final destination is your gorgeous, straight, bright smile!
