Why Are Crowded Teeth a Problem?

Crowding is a common orthodontic problem that can often be solved very effectively with braces. If you suffer from overcrowding and are looking for a stress-free solution, we may have just the perfect treatment for you.

Why are crowded teeth problematic?

Crowded teeth can make your smile look unattractive but they can also increase your risk of developing dental diseases. This is because it is often very difficult to clean all the surfaces of the teeth when they are pushed up against each other. If you’re not happy with the look of your smile, it can also affect your confidence, especially when you’re around other people. Dental treatment creates more attractive smiles, boosts confidence and enables you to eat and clean your teeth without any trouble at all.

What can be done for crowded teeth?

Orthodontic treatment is the best course of action for crowded teeth and today there are all kinds of amazing treatments available. Crowding is a common problem that usually results from a lack of space in the jaw. Braces help to reposition the teeth, create more space and align the teeth perfectly. The range of options available to you will depend largely on the severity of the crowding. In minor cases, aligners and fixed braces may be viable, while in complex cases, fixed braces are usually the best option. In some cases of crowding, it might be necessary to remove some of the teeth before the braces are fitted, as this creates space for the teeth to move. Your dentist will go through your options and the treatment processes when you have your consultation.  

Weston-super-Mare chooses its Braces

758140_blogEven in a small place like Weston-super-Mare, it is possible to get the latest and greatest gadgets and technology that modern dentistry has to offer, especially in the world of orthodontics. There are lots of braces and aligners to choose from on the market today, so you need advice on how to shop for the best device for your mouth and Clifton Dental of Bristol are the people to turn to here. First have a look at some of the fantastic removable aligners on sale; Invisalign, Clear-step and the Inman work very fast, with the utmost discretion and you have the luxury of popping them in and out. However, for more complex conditions with your teeth, fixed braces are the route to go down here. Braces such as the 6 months smile and the Damon can sort out very difficult teeth, and though they are awkward to keep clean, they work with precision, discretion and with speed. Of course, any of the devices you choose can come down to price, but there are ways to set up payment plans to get around it. In any case, we are talking about the future health of your mouth here, so cost shouldn’t come into it- get the best you can.

Chepstow dentist straightens teeth in quarter of the time with Six Month Smile braces

Orthodontic teeth straightening has existed for many years in the form of braces. However, in the last ten years there has been a revolution in the methods and styles of treatment that has led to faster, more comfortable and more discreet treatment for patients. Braces such as Invisalign, the Inman aligner and Damon have introduced much more effective and modern orthodontic treatment and given patients more options than just traditional fixed metal braces. One of the new crop of braces stands out as providing one of, if not the, best all round treatments. Six Month Smile braces can be used to treat a variety of overcrowding, spacing and rotation issues. There are several main advantages of using the Six Month Smile system over other modern and traditional braces. Firstly, they use wires that are very discreet and tooth coloured for maximum discretion. This has always been one of the main complaints against traditional fixed metal braces, that the visual sacrifice was not worth the straightening results. As you might be able to guess from the name, Six Month Smile braces aim to straighten teeth in just that. This is usually an average time of treatment and may take slightly longer or shorter depending on the nature of your straightening needs. But you can be sure that treatment will be much more comfortable than with other braces as teeth are aimed to be repositioned gently, without the need for painful tightening treatments. Six Month braces are available from Chepstow dentists and generally cists about half the price of traditional braces or Invisalign. This is just another reason why these braces are causing such a stir across the UK and becoming very popular with patients. The braces are able to achieve these incredible straightening results in such a short time because they focus more on the teeth that show when you are smiling.

Weston-super-Mare dentist offers opportunity of cosmetic dentistry treatment

You may have read about or seen on the TV the latest trend for smile makeovers. This is the process of taking teeth that are in bad condition and carrying out several dental procedures to completely transform the appearance of the smile. This usually involves using several cosmetic dentistry procedures such as cosmetic bonding, porcelain veneers and orthodontic straighteners simultaneously, to improve the size, alignment and colour of the teeth. Cosmetic dentistry is a relatively new concept. In the past, patients went to the dentists either for a check up to see of their teeth were healthy or to repair any damage or decay they may have sustained. In the last twenty years and originating in the US, the idea that teeth could be treated purely for aesthetic reasons has become more popular and recently exploded in the UK. Where once teeth whitening was something that only Hollywood actors and actresses had done, it is now little more unusual than a haircut or a nail appointment. It is also, incredibly, often little more expensive. As demand for cosmetic dentistry has grown, price has dropped and more and more Weston-super-Mare dentists now offer treatments as standard. Using teeth whitening as an example again; there are few dentists across the UK who do not now offer this as a fairly standard treatment. In the modern world, where appearances count for so much, it is not really surprising that cosmetic dentistry is becoming more popular. After all, the smile and teeth is one of the first things we notice about other people when we meet them. Having discoloured or uneven teeth can be very damaging to the self-esteem and cause self-confidence issues that you carry through life. If the opportunity exists to improve your teeth and make you more comfortable with who you are, there is nothing wrong with taking it.

Amazing Inman aligner from Swindon dentist straightens teeth

You might have heard reports recently in the media of an incredible new tool for straightening teeth in as little as six weeks. The Inman aligner is making waves in certain circles as the increasingly popular way to straighten uneven or crooked teeth. In reality the Inman aligner has been around for some years but with the popularity of makeover shows demonstrating incredible dental repair works, the Inman aligner has gained notoriety as one of the most effective and affordable straightening tools. Orthodontic teeth straightening is necessary because teeth can sometimes develop in a misaligned way. In other cases the teeth become crooked over time due to movement in the dental arc. In the past the answer to both of these problems was fixed metal braces, even for teeth with only small alignment issues. However, more and more people are turning to the Inman aligner because of the amazing speed of treatment. But just what is it that gives the Inman the edge over other braces? The secret behind the Inman aligner’s success is that it focuses directly on the front teeth that are most visible in the mouth. The aligner applies forces to the lateral teeth to create room for the front teeth to straighten. This can be achieved in only a matter of weeks, but there are other advantages to using the Inman treatment. Only one aligner is needed so there is no need to change it every two weeks like some other treatments. It is also completely removable so eating and teeth cleaning are unaffected, unlike fixed bracket braces. Most importantly, perhaps, is the fact that the Inman aligner is comparatively very cheap yet still produces incredible results. Ask a Swindon dentist for more information about Inman aligners at your next check up.
