If you have been fitted with fixed braces in Weston-Super-Mare, it will take extra vigilance to keep your mouth clean. Braces are a haven for foods to live in and if not removed, can breed bacteria that can lead to all manner of problems. When you have a brace fitted, your dentist will give you advice on how to maintain oral hygiene during this period. Brushing after a meal is important, as is rinsing, but when wearing braces, it’s important to brush correctly and electric brushes tend to be first choice. Complete care toothpastes combine various active ingredients to fight plaque, decay and disease. Interdental brushes can clean between the teeth and around the brackets and wires as can floss threaders. Harmless dyes can highlight plaque and there are special mouth washes that also prevent the build up of plaque. Having a brace is a tricky time mentally, so it would be wise to avoid further complications through poor hygiene.
Traditional braces can sometimes take years to effectively straighten your teeth. They are unpopular with some people because the metal brackets and wires can affect your appearance and lead to loss of confidence if the wearer feels embarrassed about smiling. The new Inman aligner offers the same results as a brace by straightening your teeth but works a lot quicker, often just six weeks. A further advantage of the Inman aligner is that it is virtually invisible.
The average time that you will have to wear an Inman aligner for is less than six months and the only visible part is a discreet bar across your front teeth. It can be removed so that cleaning it is so much easier. You can also remove it while eating, avoiding the prospect of food getting trapped. If you wish to attend a social occasion and not have to think about your Inman aligner, you can remove it for that too.
Inman works using a coiled spring which gently pushes your teeth out from the inside. This means it is extremely discreet and your teeth have the room to be pulled into place against the straightening bar at the front of the mouth. The Inman system will not be able to rotate teeth but it is perfect for small issues with alignment and the cost is similar to many other orthodontic treatments.

Braces are worn in order to straighten teeth out, and they are fixed to the teeth for the duration of the treatment. People who wear braces on their teeth are very prone to tooth decay and they should be extremely careful while cleaning their teeth. It is very easy for food particles to get stuck within the braces, thereby causing a lot of problems. Braces are usually worn for an extended period of time and if one does not have good oral hygiene from the very start, one can be left with a lot of oral problems.
To start with, it is important to brush teeth with braces immediately after every meal, or at least to rinse the mouth out so that you can save yourself the embarrassment of having food stuck in them. Food particles stuck in braces can cause teeth to decay very fast. They can also cause you to have very bad breath as the food begins to decay.
According to a dentist in Weston-Super-Mare, people who wear braces do not always maintain good oral hygiene. Many people forget to brush their teeth properly especially when they have worn their braces for quite some time. The dentist advises that they follow all rules of oral hygiene so that they protect themselves from tooth decay and bad breath.
Teeth with braces should not be brushed too hard since that will ruin the enamel. Teeth need to be cleaned as usual so that the person avoids all dental problems.
If you are bored or embarrassed by your hair you can always go to the hairdressers or barbers to have it cut. The same if you want to change your wardrobe, you can go shopping. Looking our best is very important in this modern era where image is so important. But what about aspects of our appearance that we are unable to change so easily, like our teeth? Our smile is obviously a very important method of communicating and one that gives away so much about us so being uncomfortable or embarrassed about it can damage self-confidence and self-esteem.
However, there are ways of changing the appearance of your teeth that have been successfully proven to work for many years. Orthodontic teeth straightening using braces is capable of correcting even the most misaligned teeth using a system of wires, brackets and applied pressure. In recent years there has also been an explosion of new orthodontic straighteners that have aimed to improve on the few negative aspects of traditional braces.
Although braces have always been effective at straightening they did suffer from something of a lack of aesthetic quality. This meant that having to wear braces always came with something of a sacrifice in terms of appearance. Braces could also be slightly uncomfortable and caused irritation to the soft tissue in the mouth. They also needed to be regularly tightened which could be painful.
New braces such as the Six Month Smile and Invisalign aimed to address these problems providing patients with more discreet, more comfortable and shorter orthodontic straightening. You kind find out more about all the straightening options available to you at your Bristol dentist during your next check up appointment.
Orthodontic teeth straightening has come along way since the days of ugly and unseemly metal ‘train track’ braces. Today it is possible to straighten teeth in a fraction of the time, a minimum of discomfort, and this is perhaps the key bit, with a far greater element of discretion.
One of the new breed of braces is called the Inman aligner and it promises visibly straighter teeth in only six-months. This is an incredible 75 per cent faster than the old fixed metal braces. For patients who want to have beautiful straight teeth but don’t fancy the prospect of nearly two years with a mouth full of metal and wires this could be just the answer. This is especially true when you consider that most brace wearers are in their difficult teenage years. Standing out for the crowd can have long-term effects on self-confidence and self-esteem.
The Inman aligner works by using the power of a coiled spring to force the lateral teeth outwards. This creates room for the overcrowded front teeth to move into the space, where a front bar-brace straightens them to the desired position. This metal bar at the front is the only visible part of an otherwise very discreet straightening system.
Patients may feel some discomfort when the brace is initially fitted but this rarely lasts longer than a week and is common to almost all orthodontic straightening devices. After this period the treatment is relatively painless throughout. The Inman aligner is also completely removable meaning that it can be taken out for meal times and also important business or social occasions.
If you have always wanted to have straight teeth but were never that keen on traditional braces, make an appointment to see a Chepstow dentist and ask them about the Inman aligner and the other magnificent advances in brace technology over the last twenty years.
