Social situations where you’ll benefit from City of London invisible braces

January 17th, 2012

Invisible braces, such as Inman Aligner and Invisalign braces, can be used by people of all ages if their dental needs and desires require this orthodontic approach. Having braces that are discreet, hidden and not visible, or seen by others, can help children and adults have their teeth straightened in the most comfortable way.

Invisible braces help children

Children can be bullied at school because of differences, such as having askew teeth or wearing visible braces that look like a set of train tracks. Other kids may call these youngsters names and even go as far as causing physical harm, not to mention long-lasting emotional scars and anxiety.

Social situations where children can wear braces include:

  • During school hours and when out and about for educational field trips or projects.
  • For sports and recreational activities, or artistic endeavours.
  • At Prize Giving, Parent-Child events, and celebrations for Halloween, Easter and Christmas.
  • Visits to the library or computer assessment centres.

Giving your child invisible braces can have immense benefits besides straightening their teeth for improved oral health. Invisible braces can give children a sense of confidence and self-acceptance when their feelings about their self and appearance is most vulnerable. Feeling accepted by peers in social settings is crucial for developing identity, strong self-image and independence.

Invisible braces help adults

There are times too when adults would prefer to wear braces discreetly so that no-one knows they are having dental treatment. This can be for various reasons:

  • Forming good first impressions that last and count, such as for job interviews and first dates.
  • For comfort and confidence in leisure activities, like attending a spa or events while on holiday.
  • Not having to worry about food appearing on your front teeth while having a meal with family, friends or business associates.
  • Where others may be opinionated and think you don’t need teeth straightening or that it’s a sign of vanity.
  • Avoiding being bullied by adults in work or by adults and children when out in public.

Invisible braces are the solution you need for happiness and beauty you – regardless of your age!

The number one Christmas Day present from City of London dentists: A straighter smile

December 20th, 2011

Are your misaligned teeth causing you embarrassment? Are they spoiling your self-confidence? This Christmas, when buying gifts for your loved ones, why not get treat yourself to a brand new smile?

The Inman Aligner is one of the quickest ways to straighten your teeth and a great alternative to traditional, fixed braces. The device gently pushes and pulls the teeth into place, utilising a coil and spring system, which works on both the front and the back of the teeth. Each system is made of clear plastic and hidden wires, which are completely removable and give you greater flexibility during your brace treatment.

Advantages of the Inman Aligner

  • The Inman Aligner is often cheaper than traditional fixed braces and a great deal more cost effective than invisible systems.
  • It also a more advantageous treatment for people who may have considered veneers, which require considerable tooth reduction before each veneer can be fitted.
  • Although the Inman Aligner isn’t as instant a procedure as veneers, it does produce some the fastest results of all brace systems and doesn’t require any tooth shaving or filing.
  • Significant results are visible within 4-16 weeks depending upon the complexity of your problem and the amount of time you wear them each day.
  • Faster results can be achieved if the aligner is worn for a minimum of 20 hours per day.
  • Since the aligner is removable you can take it out for eating, cleaning and for special occasion.
  • You needn’t visit your dentist as often with the Inman Aligner, as it requires very few adjustments and only one aligner is needed to complete the process.

Side effects of Inman Aligner

In the first few days you may experience slight discomfort, but most patients become used to the aligner after wearing it for one week. Your speech may be affected for the first couple of weeks, but again this will disappear after you become used to the aligner. The more you get used to the positioning and feel of the aligner, the easier they will be to wear.

How braces have become more comfortable and discreet

August 5th, 2011

When you ask people about braces the same image pops into most people’s head: the bulky, metal ‘train-track’ braces that everyone used to have at school.

New types of brace

Fixed metal braces do still exist but the world of orthodontics has advanced at a rapid rate and new, innovative treatments are coming onto the market all the time; times have changed so much that you can now choose between incredible treatments that work in weeks and invisible braces that nobody else can even see. Braces are now so discreet and comfortable that they have almost become a trend in themselves; numerous celebrities have been snapped sporting examples of the new range of treatments, including lingual braces, Invisalign and Clearstep and even the dreaded train-tracks enjoyed something of a revival after the television character Ugly Betty unknowingly made them cool.

Comfort as well as style

Braces used to be associated with pain; everyone used to dread going to have their braces tightened because it would hurt and the thought of a seemingly never-ending series of trips to the orthodontist was never very appealing; however, pain is now a thing of the past and many of the new braces have been specially designed to move the teeth quickly and painlessly. Most of the braces and orthodontic devices now are much lighter than traditional braces and they use state of the art technology to guide the teeth into the right position; many have also banished the dreaded bands and therefore there is no need for the painful tightening appointments.

Braces have come a long way…

March 30th, 2011

Braces have been used to treat a range of different orthodontic problems for many years now and conventional metal braces are still used to address problems including overcrowding, gap between the teeth and poorly positioned teeth.

Many people think of traditional metal train-tracks when they hear the word brace, but braces have evolved considerably and there is now a whole host of different types of braces and orthodontic devices on the market.

Braces are usually associated with teenagers but recently there has been a significant increase in the number of adults visiting their dentist for orthodontic treatments; this is mainly due to the introduction of new, discreet treatments but is also associated with the rise of celebrity culture and the increased focus on image and beauty.

Although the conventional metal brace did enjoy something of a resurgence thanks to the Channel 4 series, Ugly Betty, more discreet treatments have become much more popular. Now, the most popular treatments include Invisalign invisible braces, Damon braces, Six Month Smile braces and the Inman aligner.

As well as being much more discreet than conventional metal braces, new orthodontic treatments also decrease treatment time and some treatments can produce amazing results in just a matter of weeks. Some treatments aren’t suitable for some people; the treatment you choose may depend on your budget but you will also be advised based on your orthodontic problems and your oral health status.

Fix your teeth in months at London City dentists

March 14th, 2011

Inman Aligners are one of the many new and innovative types of braces available from dental clinics – and these get to work quickly on minor problems.

Braces are big business these days and many companies are developing their own brands which all seem to offer something that the others don’t. Inman Aligners are targeting a specific corner of the market; those people who have minor problems with their front teeth that don’t really need long- term braces to create the perfect smile. After all, if you only have one crooked tooth, or a small gap, you don’t want to be wearing braces for over a year, constantly visiting the orthodontist for check- ups. The Inman Aligner would definitely be the braces for you.

The actual braces are more like old fashioned retainers, so while they’re not completely invisible like some modern braces, they aren’t as visible as the old fixed braces either. The aligner can only be used to correct teeth at the front as these are easier to move into a new position, using the simple plastic and wire braces. Of course, they’re also cheaper than the expensive clear aligners that are so popular these days! The other big advantage, after price, is the short length of time that treatment takes. Because the Inman brand is only really suitable for people with minor problems with their teeth, this also means that the treatment time is really short – only six weeks in some cases before you can be smiling with confidence.

This all depends on you, the patient, following the orthodontist’s instruction though. The aligners can be removed for eating, oral hygiene and even social occasions, but if you take them out too often or leave them out for longer periods of time, then your treatment could take longer than you expected. Most experts recommend you wear the aligner for 20 hours a day, so if you can’t commit to this then aligners probably aren’t the treatment for you.

If you have crooked front teeth then Inman Aligners might be suitable for you, providing a quicker and cheaper alternative to many modern orthodontic solutions. However, because they aren’t as strong as fixed braces or the plastic aligners that are worn over a longer period of time, they aren’t suitable for everyone.

Find out if your condition can be treated with Inman Aligners by making an appointment with a London City Dentist for a consultation and a chance to ask more questions about the treatment.

Straighten your teeth quickly and effectively with Inman aligners from London dentists

November 12th, 2010

London dentists straighten teeth accurately with Inman aligners

You can now have your teeth straightened in a matter of weeks.  No longer do you need to wait many months or even years to have straight teeth, all the while wearing an unsightly set of metal braces.  The Inman aligner corrects crooked teeth quickly and has only a small bar across the front teeth that is visible.  Contact your London dentist to see how Inman can give you a perfect smile quickly and discreetly.

The average time you will have to wear an Inman aligner is less than six months and treatment can be completed in only six weeks.  It is totally removable, which makes eating and drinking so much easier.  Traditional metal braces can be difficult to clean and make social occasions difficult, especially if you are a young person.  Inman aligners are extremely discreet but can be taken for a special social occasion if it will benefit your confidence to do so.

Inman aligners are unable to rotate teeth but they are ideal for small alignment issues.  Inman aligners use the power of a coiled spring on the inside of your teeth.  The spring pushes out the lateral teeth against the straightening bar at the front of the mouth, the only visible part of the Inman when you smile.

Despite the incredible speed offered by Inman aligners, they cost roughly the same as other orthodontic treatments.  They represent a huge improvement on the traditional brace with their metal brackets and wires which had to be worn sometimes for years.
