Fixed Metal Brace Smile Makeover

Our case of the month for April is an unbelievable smile makeover using a fixed metal brace. Our patient wanted to be able to smile for her wedding photographs and we were given a time span of just 8 months! Now the level of tooth crowding was quite severe and we were unsure whether the treatment could be completed in time. However, we did not need to worry. The treatment was complete ahead of schedule. We used high tec metal brackets which have minimal friction and allow quick alignment of rotated, crooked, displaced teeth. Just take a look at the before and after photos:

Wonky, crooked teeth
Crowding is severe
Teeth sticking out
Side view- the lateral teeth are really sticking out

Now after only a few months with a metal brace, the end result is...

Straight even teeth
A fantastic new smile, straight and even!
Even teeth
Lateral teeth are in line and straight

Why metal braces you may say. Well, metal is still best and our preferred method of action. There are of course, ceramic brackets which are clear and lingual braces which are fitted on the inside of the teeth. Both of these techniques are great and have their place. However, metal reigns supreme! If you would like a smile transformation in only a few months, please call us today and begin your journey to a new smile!

Our case of the month for July 2021 is quite a complex one involving multiple ceramic crowns after an accident during the first lockdown. Our patient, Xavier, had a cycling accident where he fractured 3 of his front teeth.
