Cosmetic Orthodontics

We believe in creating beautiful smiles with non invasive measure whenever possible. Due to the advances in modern technology, achieving straight teeth quickly and comfortably is now a real possibility. In fact, many celebrities that you see on screen everyday are having cosmetic orthodontics. Did you know that Kate Middleton is completing a course of lingual braces, the truly invisible brace, just in time for the royal wedding?! There are many options to choose from and we will guide you to the most suitable ones.

One such example is Invisalign. This is a highly innovative system which is fully digital and uses clear plastic aligners which slowly guide the teeth into position. A highly sophisticated computer generated programme called 'Clincheck' will also show you the final anticipated result in a video format, unlike any other orthodontic system.

The advantages of Invisalign braces is that the aligners are removable which means that oral hygiene is easy to maintain. They are also virtually invisible to the human eye. Paula, our Practice Manager is currently mid way through treatment so feel free to ask her any questions you may have on Invisalign. Invisalign are changing their logo and branding soon. In line with this, we will soon be offering an unrivalled Invisalign Full Package.

Crown Replacement For 2 Front Teeth

Our next case involved two front teeth which had two crowns. The patient was unhappy with the colour, shape and overall appearance of them. The main request was to provide a natural replacement. Front teeth are the first point of eye contact and as such extremely important in cosmetic dentistry. A number of factors must be assessed before treatment can begin and this starts with thorough planning. Initially, study models were prescribed and a diagnostic wax up. This is to enable the patient to see the anticipated final shape and contour of the crowns and compare them with the current situation. The wax up will also be used as the template for the final crowns and for the temporary crowns. The following photographs show how we dramatically improved the situation with cosmetic dentistry.
