The 5 Fascinating Truths of Wisdom Teeth and Braces in Leicester

Posted on: April 13th, 2016 by freshadmin No Comments

Wisdom teeth, whether they come in your teens or later in life, are often thought to cause problems, including overcrowding of teeth. The result of a recent study on wisdom teeth concluded whether or not you have wisdom teeth, crowding can occur. By drawing a comparison, assessing the front, lower teeth in many patients, the research team deduced crowding is not solely the result of your wisdom teeth erupting. The Straight Teeth Suite in Leicester will help you with your overcrowded smile and wisdom teeth with a few fascinating truths.

The Myth Of Wisdom Teeth

We often see patients who say,

“I had lovely straight teeth before my wisdom teeth came through,”

And we see patients with overcrowded smiles and no wisdom teeth. The fact is your teeth can move and crowding occur for no apparent reason.

Preventing Teeth From Moving

If you’ve got lovely straight teeth, the only way of preventing crowding from occurring in the first place is to have a retainer. A retainer, made to custom fit, will prevent the shifting of the teeth. A retainer will need to be worn on a regular basis to ensure your teeth don’t move. With a retainer, you don’t need to have wisdom teeth removed to keep your teeth straight.

Removing Wisdom Teeth

Whether or not your teeth move and become overcrowded, there are other good reasons to remove wisdom teeth. They might be causing pain, decay or infection and, for your health’s sake and to avoid risk to other healthy teeth, you are better off without them. Whereas we do not extract wisdom teeth to prevent crowding, as this is a myth, we will remove them to enable other teeth to rotate and move in a particular way. Simple extractions are carried out painlessly in the clinic. More complex cases might require surgery.

How Do I Straighten My Teeth?

The Straight Teeth Suite have the solution for everyone who wants to achieve straight teeth. Age is not a barrier to a more confident, beautiful smile. We will make a full diagnosis and advise you as to whether or not your wisdom teeth need to be extracted before braces are fitted. Depending on your diagnosis, and whether your particular case is complex or simple, you will be offered a choice of a brace. Your teeth, with the guidance of the brace will gently move into their desired position and a retainer will keep them in place forever.

Which Brace?

We offer a selection of braces which all effectively straighten your teeth and give you a great smile. Depending on your diagnosis and your choice, we will fit:

Damon Braces. Unlike traditional braces Damon braces include a small sliding door into which the wire is securely inserted, eliminating the need for elastics. This special design allows the teeth to slide smoothly, without friction, and with reduced force. These braces have many significant advantages, including shorter treatment times, fewer adjustment appointments, less discomfort, less need for teeth to be extracted and no tightening, since elastics are not used. Damon Clear offer further discretion as they are barely noticeable.

Lingual Braces. Lingual braces are totally inconspicuous as they are fixed to the reverse side of your teeth, where they can’t be seen, and they are more comfortable. Treatment times vary, depending on complexity, and they can take three months in simple cases and longer in more complex ones.

Accelerated Removable Braces/Inman Aligner . Inman Aligners straighten the front four teeth and is really quick. Some cases can be completed in as little as ten weeks. The aligner consists of a clear, removable brace with a bar at the front of the teeth and one at the back and has to be worn nearly all day and night.

Clear Aligners. Invisible braces either Invisalign or Smilelign consist of a series of custom made removable clear plastic trays which you change every few weeks until the movement, and desired position of the teeth, has been achieved. There are many types of invisible braces, but we use the best available, custom made to fit.

Six Month Braces. Six months braces utilise clear braces that are attached to your teeth with a tooth coloured wire to straighten gently and realign teeth in an average time of just six months.

5 Simple Steps to Teeth Space Creation in Leicester

Posted on: April 6th, 2016 by freshadmin No Comments

If you are considering braces, your dentist may have told you your teeth will have to be shaved to create the space needed, avoiding extraction of teeth. Don’t be alarmed. As we will explain, the Straight Teeth Suite in Leicester finds this technique to be an excellent and pain-free solution for patients who want their teeth straightened and a great new smile with the minimum of intrusion.

1. What is IPR?

The technical term for creating space between teeth is called interproximal reduction, known simply as IPR. Teeth are shaved, removing minute slithers of enamel from the sides of the teeth. The amount of enamel removed is barely noticeable to the untrained eye.

2. Why Create Space Between Teeth?

Put quite simply, there are three reasons IPR may be carried out by your dentist.

IPR creates the space required between teeth to make it possible for teeth to be straightened using braces.
IPR is performed to avoid the need for extraction of teeth in an overcrowded mouth.
IPR is used to reshape teeth. Some teeth can look too broad, or be misshapen. Where teeth are too close together and it is impossible to floss, a little space can be created with IPR.

3. Can All Teeth Have IPR?

Provided the teeth are healthy, and there is plenty of enamel, IPR will help by shaving a little from the teeth. We must stress this must be the minimal amount, but it can make a huge difference. It is important to keep the teeth symmetric, especially the two front teeth. If IPR is used to reshape one tooth, it follows that its pair will need to be reshaped too.

4. What Alternatives Are There?

If space is required to fit your braces and you do not want IPR, it may be necessary to extract teeth. Never be tempted to try and file your teeth! It requires skill and the correct tools, or this can be painful and do untold damage.

5. How Is The Space Created?

With IPR, the dentist first diagnoses the problem and makes a plan. X-ray analysis determines the amount of enamel on each tooth before IPR is considered. The health and condition of the teeth will also be assessed before treatment begins.

With an overcrowded mouth, where the teeth are misaligned, the dentist will first determine the amount of space that is needed for the teeth to be able to rotate and straighten. In some cases, only a few teeth will need IPR, in others, many teeth will need treatment to allow for movement when the braces are fitted. The dentist will measure and record how much space will be created before fitting your braces.

Oral hygiene and meticulous brushing and cleaning with fluoride are essential following IPR for the enamel to rebuild. A little enamel removed from your teeth can make your teeth more susceptible to decay if you neglect your dental hygiene routine and frequent visits to the hygienist.

3 Facts Defining the Cost of Braces in Loughborough

Posted on: February 11th, 2016 by freshadmin No Comments

Perhaps you have made the decision to have your teeth straightened with braces but when you look online to try and get an idea of the cost, there are too many variables, and you end up more confused than ever. The Straight Teeth Suite in Loughborough has compiled a list of the differing factors they consider when pricing your braces. Not only do they fit clear braces but they give clear prices before you commit to treatment. Hidden braces, not hidden costs.

The reason pricing teeth straightening treatment is so complicated is because there are many factors to be put into the equation before a price can be determined. There is no ‘off the shelf’ price as a dentist needs to appraise your specific problem during a consultation and take into consideration these three factors to determine the final cost:

The dentist will assess the condition and position of your teeth. The more complex the problem, the more work will need to be done. For example, if your teeth are very over-crowded you may need to have some extracted before braces can be fitted. Others problems, such as a gap between your upper incisors will be relatively easy to fix and, therefore, less expensive.
The time your treatment will take. Some treatments take just four months, and other more involved procedures may take up to two years. Obviously, the longer the treatment, the more appointments you will need which will be factored into the cost.
The type of brace you need and choose, whether it is a fixed brace, an invisible brace or an aligner, will have to be factored into the overall cost of treatment. The materials the braces are made from are reflected in the price. For example, ceramic brackets are more expensive than metal brackets. A lingual brace, fixed to the reverse side of your teeth and hidden from view is a more costly choice than a traditional brace fixed to the front of your teeth. Not only are the brackets for a Lingual brace more expensive but the manufacturing fees are higher too.

If you would like your teeth straightened but don’t know if it is something you can afford, make an appointment with the Straight Teeth Suite. We would be happy to discuss the different options with you. You might be pleasantly surprised when your treatment plan works out at a lot less than you anticipated. On the other hand, perhaps you can’t afford your braces at this time. The Straight Teeth Suite can offer you a payment plan to spread the cost and make it more affordable.

Best Choice of braces: Lingual braces in Loughborough

Posted on: January 25th, 2016 by freshadmin No Comments

Straight teeth and a beautiful smile are no longer the domain of the rich and famous. In the UK, a million people in all walks of life had their teeth straightened last year, not only to improve the function of their teeth and their appearance but to improve their confidence. A beautiful smile will win friends and influence people, and that is important when trying to get ahead. If you are confident in yourself, others will be confident in you. The Straight Teeth Suite in Loughborough will help you to make the best choice when considering Lingual braces.

Lingual braces are increasingly popular and becoming a favourite option for many patients when selecting what type of brace to have fitted. The two principal reasons they are so popular, especially with patients who have jobs where their appearance is important, is because Lingual braces are almost invisible, and they work quickly. They are so discreet nobody will know you are wearing braces as, unlike traditional braces, they are fitted to the reverse side of your teeth. The clever technicians at the Lingual brace laboratory make the brackets and archwires to fit your teeth, and they make them light, comfortable and unobtrusive. They are easy to keep clean and do not interfere with eating or with speaking. There is no need to fear you will be drinking soup for months or lisping your way through a speech.

Lingual braces work fast. From the first day they are fitted, they start moving your teeth into the desired, correct position by applying gentle pressure. In just five weeks you will notice a difference and know you have made the best choice. We treat patients with all kinds of problems from misaligned and overcrowded teeth to poor bites and gaps. Some cases take just three months to correct and more complex cases rather longer. The dentist will be able to advise you of the time scale at your first consultation.

Few people understand how their health can be badly affected by a poor bite. How often have you experienced a headache, or shoulder ache or neck pains and have put it down to stress? An unbalanced bite not only affects your ability to eat certain foods but puts the surrounding teeth under enormous pressure, which causes pain. Lingual braces can correct this and allow the jaws to fit together properly. Therefore, the surrounding joints and muscles relax, causing significantly less damage to teeth.

If your teeth are overcrowded or crooked, you are more prone to cavities and gum disease as it is difficult to keep your teeth clean and plaque will develop in the hard-to-reach areas. Left untreated, your gums will become inflamed, resulting in oral infection and potential tooth loss. In such cases, it is imperative to have your teeth straightened. Lingual braces are a great choice in matters of health and not just aesthetics.

Not all dentists offer lingual braces because of the training and technical expertise that are required. Braces are definitely worth the investment, but Lingual braces have special requirements. Because they are personally made to fit each patient, they cost a bit more, and treatment tends to be more involved. Each tooth has its own separate parts The Straight Teeth Suite have put together a financial plan to help you spread the cost over time as you choose premium braces; Lingual braces and a great smile.

My Straight Teeth Journey by Raha Sepehrara in Nottingham: Part Two

Posted on: December 8th, 2015 by freshadmin No Comments

If you have read Part One of my blog, you will know I am a dentist at Straight Teeth Suite, who has treated thousands of patients in Nottingham and I have now decided to have braces to straighten my own teeth.

I have now had my Damon braces fitted but what a performance. Because I’m heavily pregnant and due to give birth in the next few weeks, I wasn’t able to lie flat on the dentist’s chair. My beautiful bump got in the way. I had to have the procedure done slightly sitting up which was rather awkward. As a result, Ana and I decided just to do only the bottom teeth, delaying the braces on my top teeth, so the baby and I wouldn’t be too uncomfortable for too long.

As you can see in this delightful selfie, I’ve got braces on all of my bottom teeth. They are Damon braces, and they look rather strange. The braces themselves don’t feel too uncomfortable but it is undeniably strange having something alien in my mouth.

The only thing that was an unexpected experience and is probably more of a learning curve is having the bite blocks. To explain, bite block are little build ups that, in my case, we put on the back molars, to open up my bite and not being able to close my teeth as before will take some getting used to. Can you see the bite blocks in my picture? What this means is that now I am only biting on those two teeth right at the back and, by opening my bite, we’re doing two things.

Firstly, we are protecting the braces so I don’t bite onto them and they don’t come off. Secondly, at the same time, we are allowing the teeth to move freely because, if I didn’t have these bite blocks, the bottom teeth would become trapped under the top ones, and they wouldn’t be able to move. That could be so embarrassing if I got my wires entangled and couldn’t open my mouth to shout for help. The bite blocks are very important, and that’s the reason we put them on all our patients.

As I said, the braces don’t seem to be too uncomfortable or irritating. The rubbing on the inside of my cheeks is not too bad and dental wax helps. There is no pain, just a slight discomfort, a slight pressure. Nothing more or less than I expected after feedback from my patients. It’s the bite blocks that are going to take a while to get used to, but I will review that again in a few days. I need to give myself time to relax and get used to all the new sensations.

I can speak as normal, but eating is a bit more challenging because trying to bite down and chew is really weird and unexpected. With the bite blocks, chewing is awkward and is a little bit more time consuming. However, soups are nourishing and, on the upside I’m hoping it might help with the weight loss after my baby comes.So far, so good but if I can’t chew I will be sharing pureed baby food with the newborn.

We’ve decided to wait until after I have had my baby to have the rest of the treatment and the braces fitted to my upper teeth just because it makes it easier. I am going to have a lot to do in the next few weeks and my hands full. I will have my top braces fitted and the bottom ones adjusted in about 5 to 6 weeks and in Part Three of this blog, I will tell you how I get on, with my braces that is. I am not about to regale you with baby stories!

Biography of Straight Teeth by Raha Sepehrara in Loughborough:Part One.

Posted on: December 8th, 2015 by freshadmin No Comments

It is sometimes said dentists are more aware of the clinical procedure and their skills and can’t really empathise with their patients unless they have experienced the treatment for themselves. That is just about to change! I have decided to have my teeth straightened in Loughborough and will record the story, step by step, to let you know what it is like from the other side; patient not dentist.

Despite having crooked teeth, I never received orthodontic treatment as a teenager. My Mum took me to a dentist who wanted to extract four front teeth. Mum thought that was too extreme and she declined on my behalf. And I never had the teenage braces most young people wear. Despite the long years of training and graduating as a dentist and working in my dental practice, my front teeth remained crooked into adulthood. Until now!

As a dentist, I have treated thousands of patients who needed their teeth straightened. As at one time no-one else in the practice was qualified to straighten teeth, I did not undergo the treatment myself. Then Ana, who some of you will know, joined Straight Teeth Suite and I decided to have braces and straight teeth for myself. Ana kindly agreed to treat me.

For the benefit of patients, I am telling my own story of braces that might amuse some of you but will certainly edify. I am in the late stages of my pregnancy and have decided to have my teeth straightened whilst on maternity leave and I am at home with my baby.

Ana and I drew up a treatment plan after a thorough examination of my teeth. I have decided to undergo fixed braces; Damon braces. My reasons are almost entirely cosmetic, to be more comfortable with my smile. Although my back teeth are well positioned, I have a very slightly crowded upper front tooth, and more moderate crowding on the bottom front teeth, which is getting worse over time. Furthermore, my bite is slightly deep.

What that means is that when I bite together, the bottom teeth bite too far back against my top front ones. Over time, they are wearing and chipping away. Straightening my teeth will not only improve my smile but essentially prevent further damage to my bottom teeth in the future.

Damon braces are a type of fixed metal brace where the blocks are bonded to the teeth. High tech shape-memory wires are then used to move teeth comfortably and effectively. Damon Braces are designed to be discreet, comfortable and easy to keep clean. There are two options, Damon Q, fixed metal, which I chose, and Damon Clear, a white/clear fixed brace. They are the most efficient brace for straightening crooked teeth, dispensing with the need of elastic and metal ties. You might wonder why I didn’t choose lingual braces, invisible braces. Whereas lingual braces have the clear advantage of not being seen, no pun intended, Damon braces have the edge when it comes to specific misalignment issues and Ana and I agreed they would be more effective.

My blogs will appear from time to time, and I will tell you just how it feels not as a dentist but as a patient; the flipside. Click here to read part two where I will talk about what it feels like to wear Damon braces for the first time. I have to admit I am slightly nervous, but Ana will continue to reassure me in the in the same way I reassure my patients. She certainly has me convinced all will be fine.

Posted on: November 9th, 2015 by freshadmin No Comments

You know you want a little magic, straight teeth and a new smile to feel good about yourself. Choosing the best procedure and where to get it, might be difficult. Before you make your decision, you should know what to expect from the treatment, the ups and downs. It is always a good idea to do some research. Getting the Six Month Braces treatment in Loughborough is a decision made by many people, thanks to the great testimonials and wonderful new smiles of former patients.

How to Take Care of Your Six Month Braces braces

As we discussed in our previous blog when choosing to correct your teeth in Loughborough, you will also get regular check up’s to review the braces and answer any questions regarding your treatment, teeth and braces. It is really important to see your dentist and hygienist regularly, not only for checking the position of your teeth but because the health of your teeth needs to be maintained.

Carefully Clean Your Teeth and Braces

In addition to the check up’s you will be instructed on how to look after your teeth and braces. You should regularly use mouthwash, and TePe brushes around the brackets. You should clean your teeth every time you eat. Of course, you can also floss with your braces in place but that is a bit more time consuming. The TePe brushes help with this.

You Need to Wear a Retainer After the Treatment

No matter how young or old you are, and what type of brace you’ve got, you always need to have a retainer. Without retainers, your teeth will eventually move back to their original position. You will need to be committed even after treatment to avoid this scenario.There are two types of retainers: a fixed retainer or a removable retainer. You should also have at least three retainer checks, once your treatment is completed, to be sure you’re not having any problems.

Can I whiten my teeth?

There are many people who are interested in using whitening products during the treatment with Six Month Braces. This must be avoided. However, many patients do have whitening treatment when their braces have been removed. This is a great way to complete the treatment since it will add that extra wow you need to celebrate your new look.

Great Expectations in Leicester- Your guide to Six Month Braces. Part Three

Posted on: November 9th, 2015 by freshadmin No Comments

One of the treatments most people turn to in Leicester is the well-known Six Month Braces procedure. This is a fast and discreet treatment to straighten your front teeth with invisible braces. Now that you’ve read our first two blog posts (Part 1 & Part 2) in this Six Month Brace series, you’ll probably have further questions. Here are answers to help you decide.

Do Six Month Braces Hurt?

Pain is subjective. Some people cope with it better than others. Some patients find that the teeth are quite tender, and some complain that the wires and the brackets are uncomfortable whilst others sail through their treatment with no problems at all. This is why, when you have your braces fitted, you also receive instructions on how to cope with any discomfort and other issues. You may be advised to use painkillers or dental wax to cover any sharp edges.

You don’t have to worry too much about this problem because, after about two weeks, you will get used to your braces, and any discomfort from the brackets or the wires will diminish.

Is The Six Month Braces a Safe Procedure?

Absolutely. This brace option is very safe. Your dentist will make sure that your teeth and gums are healthy prior to fitting your braces so that there are no unexpected issues. Six Month Braces braces are lighter than conventional braces, and there are few risks involved. Provided you avoid contact sports or other activities that might cause facial injuries, it’s very unlikely you will have any issues while wearing the braces.

What should I avoid eating and drinking?

While wearing Six Month Braces, you must avoid eating hard things like toffees or biting into a crisp apple. You don’t want to break your brackets and nor do you want to get food stuck in the wires. It’s really important that you follow the advice of your dentist. More information will be given to you when your braces are fitted.

Also, it’s advisable to avoid fizzy drinks as they can harm the enamel of your teeth, making the enamel weaker and more prone to cavities. Furthermore, if you drink a lot of tea, coffee, or red wine you could stain the brackets. They need to be kept clean.

Can I play sports?

Many people asked if Six Month Braces interferes with sports. It doesn’t, but you need to be especially careful if you play contact sports. Getting hit in the face will not be good for both your face and teeth, especially if you wear braces. A mouthguard will save your braces and your teeth.

Will the brace affect Speech?

There are many questions regarding the ability to speak and the possibility of developing a lisp or other impediment. Well, great news; the Six Month Smile brace does not interfere with your speech, and you will sound perfectly normal. No changes there.

For any questions, concerns, or queries, please feel free to contact the practice and book your FREE consultation. To read Your Guide To Six Month Braces part 4 CLICK HERE

Are Six Month Braces Right For Me In Nottingham – Your guide to Six Month Braces. Part Two

Posted on: November 9th, 2015 by freshadmin No Comments

Winter is here, and it is time to hibernate. But you don’t have to hide away in Nottingham while you achieve a new smile in time for next Spring. We all want to be the best we can. The goal is not perfection but to be the very best we can no matter if we are tall or short, blonde or brunette, at the top of our game or content in our role. But if we are ashamed of our teeth, and we have a crooked smile, we never quite achieve our best, and our self-esteem suffers. The people we admire don’t have unevenly spaced teeth or an annoying gap in their upper incisors. Their teeth don’t overlap or protrude. They are happy and unselfconscious. They have the beautiful smile you wish for.

Six Month Braces can make your wish come true in time for Spring. It’s like someone waving a magic wand and in just six months giving you the smile and self-esteem you have always wanted. This affordable, safe and effective brace solution works for most adults and has become a popular treatment in Nottingham. In this blog we address some of your questions and shedding light on the procedure.

Can I Get the Six Month Braces Treatment in Nottingham?

The answer is Yes. However, you will first need a consultation. The dentist will check your teeth and see if Six Month Braces is the right treatment for you by looking at the amount of crowding, spacing, your bite, and what you wish to achieve.

The Six Month Braces procedure concentrates on only moving the teeth that show when you smile, not your whole mouth. The emphasis is on the cosmetic appearance of your teeth rather than the position of your bite. Not everyone is eligible for this treatment, but your dentist will advise you of a suitable alternative.

What Problems Can Six Month Braces Fix?

Crowded Teeth

Six Month Braces can fix crowded teeth. However, it depends on the intensity of the problem. Some people have severely crowded teeth and, in this case, the only option is an alternative brace and possibly extraction of some teeth. But the majority of cases can be fixed by Six Month Smile braces.

Teeth with Spaces

Six Month Braces work exceptionally well at correcting teeth with spaces. However, with spaces, treatment may sometimes last a little bit longer than the treatment for crowded teeth, so you just need to be a bit more patient. The results are amazing, and that makes the extra treatment time very worthwhile.

Correcting Overbite and Crossbite

If you have minor overbite issues, this procedure will be able to correct them but your dentist will confirm if you’re a good candidate for the Six Month Braces.

Cross bite issues can be corrected with Six Month Braces depending on where the problem is. If it’s one of the teeth in the front, it works well, and the results are fantastic. However, if the cross bite is further back, it is more challenging, and the dentist might suggest having another type of brace.

With Six Month Braces, once you have the braces fixed, your teeth should begin moving very quickly. Most patients are amazed of how fast their smile improves, and the results are obvious in the first couple of months. In addition to the speed of the procedure, the braces are barely visible. Many patients who choose this procedure are adults and, according to their feedback, people hardly notice their braces.
