Let’s face it, we all want to look our best. This is important in every day life but if you have a wedding coming up or a job interview then you might want to look extra special. There are some things that can’t reasonably be changed, like your height. But if you think that your teeth could look better then there is no reason to delay in sorting it out. You’ll find that the benefits it gives to your self confidence will be astonishing.

Dentists are able to offer patients a wide variety of treatments to correct the look of teeth. These fall under the umbrella term of cosmetic dentistry and the results can be amazing. It is quite common really to have a set of teeth that is not quite perfect. Your teeth are in almost constant use whether you are eating or just talking. Inevitably they can get a little worn down or discoloured. Or you may have been born with a set of teeth that are somewhat misaligned or crooked.

Cosmetic dentistry procedures can sort out all of these problems. Stunning porcelain dental veneers can cover up unsightly broken down teeth and porcelain dental crowns can do the same for teeth which are more fundamentally affected. Teeth whitening procedures can restore teeth to the whitest possible shade and give you back the sparkling smile that you thought you had lost in adulthood.

These procedures and more can be carried out as part of a package of just individually. Your London SE1 dentist can give you expert advice and a consultation to ascertain which procedures might benefit you individually and how they can be carried out.

It`s almost invisible as it isn`t fixed to the teeth like a conventional brace, says a South East London dentist. They come in the form of a sporting shield that has very cleverly hidden pressure points and pulleys built into the inside, this part sits in the inner part of the mouth and isn`t visible to the eye. They are a unique device and the program involved is quite scientific. Starting with digital pictures which are scanned into a computer program, the program then produces all the calculations needed to make the series of braces involved. These are all made beforehand and contained within them are all workings that will eventually straighten the teeth. It looks like a clear sporting gum shield, and is good for straightening the back as well as the front teeth. They are changed every two weeks and a course can run from 4-8 months typically, the patient and dentist can keep an eye on the progress by watching the 3D CGI film which the computer also produces in the process. The patient can even see the end result before the process even starts. One good advantage is the mobility of the brace, you can take it out for up to 4 hours a day, which is handy for when you`re eating, and cleaning your teeth. It is extremely popular amongst adults who didn’t want the cumbersome NHS brace system when they were younger, but then suffered in later life with misaligned teeth and a crooked smile which can be embarrassing at the best of times.

The Damon Brace system is a scientifically designed way of straightening the teeth, very few of us escape crooked, misaligned teeth and gaps in between them says a London SE1 dentist. It isn`t a system that uses removable clear braces, it is very much based on the old tried and tested system of fixed clamps cemented onto the teeth. Unlike the conventional system it doesn’t use elastic to stretch the teeth in an uncomfortable manner, it uses wire that is incredibly flexible and reduces the friction problem that elastic produces. The clamps are also designed to be smaller than conventional ones; this reduces the visible line and helps the patient with their acceptance of the process. It takes a lot less time to accomplish the task of straightening teeth and closing gaps with the Damon Brace, this allows for the system to be cheaper than the usual system with less time spent in the dentist`s chair. It is especially popular with the younger generation, and the process is a comfortable one with no pain so the patient gets a lot of confidence from the start that it will all be worth it in the end. The pressures on the wires is worked out using a tried and tested system, it involves taking impressions of the teeth, along with X-rays and digital photos. These are fed into a computer program that works out the best way of achieving the goal on the individual patient, in the quickest time that the dentist can do it.

An Invisalign is a brace that uses non-traditional methods to adjust misaligned teeth says a South East London dentist. The method is a brilliant combination of orthodontic technology and cosmetic ingenuity, as it is a brace that is almost invisible, effective and easy to wear. The other great thing about Invisalign is that the brace can be easily taken out and replaced for eating, drinking and cleaning of the teeth. For the busy executive it is a God send as it allows them to be brace free for cosmetic purposes during a business lunch, ask any busy executive or salesperson and they will confirm this. The effectiveness of the treatment is also quite remarkable in that the discomfort is minimised, you will only need to have fortnightly visits to the dentist to get the next stage brace. The consultation starts with a digital picture being created on a screen in front of you, the dental technician will take a series of digital photos and make an album from it to show you your misaligned teeth. Then they will create a picture using a special program to show you a series of pictures that will effectively take you through a time line, that time line will slowly show how the braces will work on the teeth to re-align them into a beautiful smile. The end result is a perfect smile, a smile that nature intended for you. You will see a virtual reality creation of the smile that will be uniquely yours, and in a lot less time than the traditional methods of old. As for the expense of this treatment, well, the good news is that it isn’t too expensive compared to other sorts of cosmetic surgery, and you won’t have heavy bruises, pain, discomfort or stitches. The time line is a lot less that the traditional methods, and this in itself helps to keep costs down.
