Braces eh? Can’t be doing with them, but if your mouth is showing signs of trouble for you in the future, you can’t do without them either. Throughout your life in Chepstow, your dentist will endeavour to protect the occlusion of your mouth, or its ‘bite’ and there are many treatments on hand to do this with, the main one being orthodontics, which is the art of teeth straightening through the use of braces. Fixed braces have come in for a lot of ‘stick’ over the years for being ugly and their treatments lengthy, but their modern derivatives have change all of that and the 6 Months Smile has been one of them responsible for this turn around. It takes everything ‘good’ from these old braces, like careful precision aligning of the teeth to remedy biting problems, and then modernises it with its flashy discreet materials which are hard for a passer-by to spot in the mouth. Another thing about this brace is that it is also designed to only work on those teeth that offend the eye when you smile. It’s a simple device that consists of small clear ceramic plates placed on the surface of the teeth and linked by a single wire that is anchored to the rear of the mouth; you make regular visits to the dentist to have it tightened so that the teeth keep moving. Like it says in the brochure, this can all be over within 6 months. If you want more information about this happy little device, then Clifton Dental of Bristol, who serves your area, can give you all the information you need.
For patients for Bath and all across the UK there is the solution of braces for teeth that are not aligned how you would like them to be. You are never too old for braces treatment, with dental practitioners more than happy to give daughters and mothers and grandmas and everyone else the smile they deserve.
Braces are something we all associate with childhood and there is no doubt that this is the best time to start the correction process. However, it is never too late to improve your appearance, never mind the benefits to your health and well-being from having a straight set of teeth.
Believe it or not, braces have been around for a surprisingly long time. Many believe they date back as far as 2000 BC! It was really in the 18th and 19th centuries, though, that modern orthodontics really began as a science. These days braces are a lot more subtle and tooth coloured wire can help reduce the negative visual impact that many worry about before they undergo treatment.
The treatment time for wearing braces varies from six months to six years, depending on the severity of the case or the age of the patient, for example. New techniques can speed up this process. Obviously, no-one wants to wear a metal grid for longer than absolutely necessary so any advances in this form of dentistry are very welcome. When my friend in Bath finally decided to get her teeth corrected she was awkward and a bit embarrassed by her braces. After six months she had got used to them though and after a year she had a dazzling smile.
When it comes to that time of your life in Bath where you just have to get your teeth straightened, there is an awful lot to choose from so you should contact Clifton dental- they will only be too happy to help your through the options. The other thing you need to consider is what you want from your brace; do you need complex work done, do you want it done discreetly or in a hurry? Because if you shop around, you will find a brace or an aligner for every occasion. Let’s look at very complex needs: serious work may require a bespoke brace and maybe the removal of some teeth and the only option is a traditional fixed brace. Now it may look ungainly and may take a long time to do the work, but it will do it with precision. If you are already of a timid nature, the idea of a mouthful of metal may add to your timidness, so what you need to look at is something like Invisalign- a removable aligner made from a clear plastic that you can barely see in the mouth. The 6 months smile, though fixed, is made up from tooth coloured materials for discretion, but also it works fast- as do most modern devices on the market today. But if you are in a hurry and only if the device suits your teeth, the Inman aligner can get you done in 6 weeks and does all the work on its own, as do other devices like the Damon that tightens itself as it goes to keep your teeth moving. So yes, there lots of choices, but there will be one for you.

A 6 month smile is a discreet system of orthodontic braces which straightens out the front six to eight teeth. Most results are achieved after 6 months or so – hence the name. The front six to eight teeth are the ones which you display when you smile – hence the second part of the name! They are discreet because the use brackets and wires which are the same colour as your teeth. No-one need ever know you were wearing them.
The principle is simple but you will need to leave some room in your diaries for a few appointments. You need an initial consultation to discuss your unique requirements, then if you go for it, you’ll need to come back to get a mould of your teeth. Using this, the dentist at Clifton dental studio will make up a template to make sure the wires and brackets are on the best place for your teeth. If you are lucky, the some experienced dentists or orthodontists might be able to put the brackets in place without the need for a template. This is not a skill you should expect from everyone though!
When the braces start doing their job and your teeth start to move, you’ll need to make adjustments – to your braces as well as your life. Every 5-6 weeks your dentist can make changes and at the end the change will be permanent.

There is literally a type of brace for every occasion and this is aptly summed up by the Inman aligner.

Six month smiles are a private dental clinic that offer orthodontic treatment in the form of fixed braces. The braces are subtly tooth coloured (including the wires) and target the front teeth for straightening only. The front 6 or 8 teeth only are revealed when your lips move apart in a smile, so the back molars really do not need to be straightened. As the treatment only focuses on a selection of your teeth, crooked teeth, gaps and misalignment can be corrected in less time than with traditional braces.
The first step is to find your local 6 month smile clinic near Chepstow and organise a consultation. You must ensure that the clinic is properly certified to provide 6 month smile braces and should be situated close to home or work as you will need to attend several appointment before your treatment is complete. A free 6 moth smile consultation is offered by some clinics and this will give the patient an opportunity to discuss the treatment with no obligations.
X-rays and photographs will be taken in your consultation so that your dentist can better examine your mouth and outline the results that he or she hope will be achieved by 6 month braces.
A mould will then be taken of your teeth, this is so the 6 month smile laboratory can fabricate a template that will direct the dentist in how to attach your brackets and wires properly to each tooth. However, if your dentist has had much experience, they may not need the template and may fit the braces straight away. This speed up treatment time as the laboratory can sometimes take up to 4 weeks.
