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!

Porcelain veneers to close gaps and widen a smile

Porcelain veneers are still regarded as one of the main cosmetic dentistry techniques. In skilled hands, they can look just like teeth. Now, we are not talking 'Turkey Teeth' here!

In reality, these veneers are actually crowns that cover the entire tooth surface after the teeth have been cut down to little stumps. This is not cosmetic dentistry but butchery, to be blunt. Porcelain veneer treatment should … CONTINUE READING

Invisalign Comprehensive to Close Spaces and Improve the Bite

One of the most common comments we encounter when discussing Invisalign with our patients is 'can Invisalign really close large gaps between my teeth?'. The reason for this is that most dentists will say that only fixed braces have enough 'force' to close spaces with any certainty. However, with careful planning and using the latest technology available, we can predictably close gaps and improve the bite using Invisalign.… CONTINUE READING

Our patient was told it was impossible but we managed to straighten her teeth

We love a challenge especially when it concerns teeth straightening and our case of the month treated in October was a great one. Our lovely patient came to us to straighten her front teeth only after years of being down about her smile. She was told by several dentists that it simply was not possible without going through a long drawn out full mouth orthodontic plan. We were happy to take on the challenge head on and after some careful planning, Dr Nissit Patel was able to provide a great result in a few m… CONTINUE READING
