Modern Braces Available To You At Devonshire Square Dental Studio In London

April 9th, 2013

At Devonshire Square Dental Studio in the very heart of London, we pride ourselves on offering clients the latest treatments and we are delighted to provide some of the most innovative orthodontic solutions on the market. Our modern orthodontic treatments work quickly, as well as providing a discreet solution and we have years of experience in creating beautiful, natural smiles.

Our treatments include:

Invisalign

Invisalign is an invisible brace system, which straightens your teeth using removable, clear aligners. Invisalign is a perfect solution for people who want the most discreet form of treatment. The aligners are made from transparent plastic and they are virtually invisible to other people, so you can smile without worrying about what others think about your braces.

Invisalign aligners are custom-made and the treatment plan is drawn-up in advance, so you can see the finished result before you even start treatment. The treatment involves wearing a series of aligners; each one is worn for 2 weeks and then replaced with the next in the series until the smile is beautifully straight.

Inman Aligner

The Inman Aligner is a removable orthodontic appliance; it is one of the most impressive and fast acting treatments on the market and you can expect to notice results within a few weeks with most cases completed within 4 months.

The Inman Aligner is made from a spring, which is located at the back of the front teeth and a metal bar, which sits on the front of the teeth. The two parts produce forces, which move the teeth into position and the appliance uses the latest technology to prevent any pain. This treatment is ideal for people who have minor or moderate problems affecting their front teeth.

STb Social 6 lingual braces

STb Social 6 lingual braces are a very popular adult orthodontic treatment. The treatment involves using lingual braces, braces that are attached to the back of the teeth instead of the front, to move the teeth. STb Social 6 lingual braces work very quickly because they focus on the ‘social 6’, the teeth that are visible when you smile. The best thing about lingual braces is that they are completely invisible when you smile so you don’t need to feel self-conscious about your smile or worried about what other people think.

Modern Braces Available At Devonshire Square Dental Studio In London

March 30th, 2013

Advancements in orthodontic and cosmetic dentistry have led to development of modern braces systems that have vastly improved on traditional metal. We have compared modern braces systems and offer our patients choices in customised Invisalign, Inman Aligner and STb Social 6 Lingual braces systems. Each of these systems are unique in treatment benefits they provide for teeth straightening and smile transformation.

The key advancements in modern braces systems include:

Advanced technologies for effective teeth straightening

Invisalign clear aligners are replaced every 2 weeks for staged re-positioning of teeth with ClinCheck. Dental overcrowding, irregular bite and dental spacing are treated with Invisalign. Inman Aligner comprises a metal bar and coil spring located behind the teeth, creating opposing orthodontic force for mild teeth straightening including relapse. STb Social 6 uses self-ligating lingual technology for improved movement and front teeth correction.

Invisible fitting for discrete orthodontic treatment

Invisalign systems are made of smooth, clear plastic aligners that fit over the mouth similar to a mouth shield. The coil in the Inman Aligner system is located behind the teeth while a single bar rests above the front teeth. The STb Social 6 braces are positioned behind the front teeth and are totally out of sight.

Removable options for better hygiene and convenience

Invisalign aligners and Inman Aligners are removable for adjustment, cleaning, meals and activities.  STb Social 6 brackets are fixed behind teeth and removable by a dentist. The self-ligating STb systems make oral hygiene easier.

Faster treatment times and smile transformation results

Invisalign aligners including i7 are worn for about 21 to 23 hours a day, replaced every two weeks with results evident within 12 to 18 months. The Inman Aligner system straightens teeth within 6 to 16 weeks of commencing treatment, similar to the STb Social 6 Lingual system where results are evident within 16 weeks.

Invisalign Braces-A Discreet Braces System For Patients in London

February 26th, 2013

Invisalign braces are removable, clear aligners that are used as an invisible alternative to braces made of metal. They are suitable for all ages, and work to straighten and correct teeth in the same way as metal braces.

Invisalign is the perfect solution for those who feel their smile needs adjusting or improving. The technique used for Invisalign is also used to successfully treat overly spaced or overcrowded teeth. Invisalign braces can also help with crossbites, overbites and underbites.

Benefits of Invisalign braces:

  • They can be removed, allowing you to floss, eat and drink normally, as well as take them out for a special occasion
  • You will have an improved smile even before the treatment is complete
  • The braces are comfortable and will not irritate your cheeks or gums due to their smooth edges
  • They are totally clear and practically invisible, so no-one needs to know that you are undergoing treatment

Treatment is made up of 4 stages:

  • The first appointment at Devonshire Square Dental Studio in London, will involve discussion of problems with your smile, in terms of both aesthetics and function. You will also be asked what results you are hoping for. Once it has been established that Invisalign is right for you, your treatment can be planned.
  • Photos and impressions of your teeth will be taken and sent to Invisalign so that they can create 3D images of your treatment. This will allow the dentist to see what your teeth will look like at all stages of the process, as well as allowing you to get a glimpse of what the final result will be.
  • Aligners to be worn at each stage in the treatment will be created and customised using state-of-the-art technology. Usually between 20 and 30 aligners for each arch will be required during treatment, although this will vary for each patient.
  • Aligners must be worn at all times, apart from while you are eating and drinking. This is necessary for treatment to be completed in the timeline determined at the start. You will need to attend check-ups so that your progress can be monitored and your aligners swapped. You will be able to observe your teeth gradually shifting into the correct position throughout the treatment, leaving you with a smile you can be proud of.

Modern Braces For Modern Adults In The City Of London

February 7th, 2013

The past ten years have seen many new and exciting developments in orthodontic treatment, meaning that adults needing braces no longer need to worry about wearing awkward-looking, conspicuous braces. New treatments mean that patients have an unprecedented level of choice when considering what would be the best option for them.

In previous years, fixed braces have been the sole option for people suffering from dental issues such as gaps between teeth, crowding and problems with their bite. Nowadays, there is a wide range of treatments available for adults who require braces. The most prominent ones are detailed below.

Invisalign

Invisalign is a system of invisible braces which uses either clear positioners or aligners to move teeth into the required position. The material used is clear plastic so that they are not noticeable to other people. Invisalign braces are removable so that you experience no issues when eating drinking, or brushing your teeth. Clearstep is another clear brace system that works in the same way.

Lingual braces

For people who do not want to wear visible braces, Lingual Braces could be the answer. They are fitted to the back of your teeth and are therefore hidden from view when you speak or smile. They are effective in straightening teeth and can be used for either the lower or upper set.

Inman Aligner

An Inman Aligner works to correct issues with a patient’s front teeth. It is a removable device that starts to achieve visible results in just a few weeks after treatment commences. The overall effect is achieved in between three and five months, when teeth will be straight.

If fixed braces are required, Six Month Smiles is an American treatment that achieves quick results. The system of fixed braces used focuses on the front teeth as these are the ones that are visible when you smile. The effects of treatment can, in many cases, be complete in as little as six months. Six Month Smiles have been designed to match the colour of teeth so that they are less noticeable, while the technology used works to minimise any discomfort felt while you wear them. For more information on the rage of braces treatments we offer and which would be suitable for you, contact the team at Devonshire Square Dental Studio in central London.

Modern Braces Available Here For Patients In London

November 6th, 2012

Braces have come a long way from the wire & elastic variety that haunted 80’s teenage movies in America. Here are just a few of the more modern brace systems available at Devonshire Square Dental Studio in the city of London.

Invisalign Braces

Invisalign braces are practically unnoticeable, meaning you can achieve a naturally straight smile incognito. They consist of a series of removable aligners made from clear plastic. Aside from no one knowing you’re having orthodontic treatment, Invisalign braces are more comfortable than their fixed, wire & elastic, counterparts, which can inflame and irritate one’s gums. They are also a touch more convenient, as you can take them out before eating and bypass the common issue of getting food trapped between your braces. The ability to take Invisalign out also aids with maintaining good oral hygiene, something important which can become complicated with fixed braces.

Lingual Braces

Great as being able to remove a braces is, it can open up the Pandora’s Box that is human error: Most removable braces need to be worn for between 20 and 22 hours and if you forget, the next aligner in your treatment might not fit. Forgetting to put them back on one night could delay your treatment drastically. If you fancy a fixed brace, but one that is camouflaged, then you might be interested in Lingual braces. ‘Lingual’ is Latin for close to the tongue, and that is exactly what these braces are: They are fitted on the inside of your teeth, closer to the tongue, keeping them out of sight.

Inman Aligner

Orthodontic treatment doesn’t end once your brace is off. It is recommended you wear a retainer for up to a year after you finishing brace treatment and, predictably, relapses during this period are quite common. The Inman Aligner is a fast working device optimised to correct teeth, particularly the front teeth, following a relapse. Utilising a unique coil & bow system, the Inman Aligner can have your teeth straight after six to eighteen weeks (which is a doddle compared to the three years that standard orthodontic treatment can take).

Patients in Central London Looking to Straighten Their Teeth without Wires or Brackets Should Try Invisalign Invisible Braces

June 30th, 2012

The Invisalign system is one of the main innovations of modern orthodontics, providing effective tooth straightening invisibly.

In the past patients from Central London and throughout the UK had to suffer the stigma and discomfort of fixed brackets and wires, which instantly drew attention to their mouth and teeth. Thankfully, today clear aligners, such as those used during the Invisalign treatment, are used to straighten teeth, creating beautiful, straight smiles without the embarrassment of metal attachments.

How does Invisalign work?

The Invisalign system involves the use of several clear aligners (generally between 18-30), which are replaced every two weeks with a new and differently aligned clear aligner. This graduation from one aligner shape to the next gradually moves the teeth into their new position, without the need for wires or brackets.

How are Invisalign aligners made?

First impressions and images will be taken of your teeth, which will be sent to the Invisalign laboratories. There, they not only make your set of personalised aligners, but also show you how your teeth will look after your treatment is complete, which your dentist will show you using the Clini Check system.

How long does Invisalign take to straighten my teeth?

Invisalign can be used to treat a range of orthodontic conditions, including crooked teeth, gapped teeth, twisted teeth and overbites and generally the time it takes to straighten your teeth will vary between 9-24 months depending on the severity of your orthodontic condition.

The length of your treatment will be discussed during your consultation.

What are the main benefits of Invisalign?

  • Treatment is completely invisible and no one will see that you are having your teeth straightened.
  • The aligners are removable, so you can take them out to eat and clean your teeth, ensuring that your oral health is kept at its very best.
  • As there are no wires or attachment and due to the lower forces used with Invisalign you will not experience the sore, ulcers and discomfort most fixed brace wearing encounter.

Invisible Tooth Straightening with Invisalign Aligners for Patients with Tooth Misalignment in London

May 19th, 2012

When teeth are crooked, crowded or have gaps between them, it is easy to feel self-conscious about it. However, many of us may also feel self-conscious about the possibility of wearing a clearly visible metal brace over our teeth. This is where Invisalign aligners come in. Made of clear plastic, Invisalign aligners are practically invisible throughout the whole treatment and can correct a whole range of orthodontic problems, such as tooth crowding, crooked teeth and gaps in teeth.

How do they work?

The Invisalign aligner is a custom-built plastic mould, which fits over your teeth. After a consultation, photos and a mould are taken of your teeth the Invisalign lab will use these to construct a 3D image of the movement your teeth will achieve over the course of treatment. A series of aligners is then made, and you will switch between different aligners as your teeth gradually move position. The aligners are removable, allowing for ease of cleaning teeth and eating, but you should wear them as much as possible (around 22 hours per day) to allow for faster results. You will visit your London dentist every couple of weeks to check up on the treatment, and receive your new aligners.

What are the advantages of Invisalign?

The most obvious advantage, and function, of the aligners is that they will move your teeth gradually so that you have a smile that you are proud to show off. This is achieved without any obvious wires or metal brackets. The aligners are made from practically transparent material and cannot be seen except very close up. In addition, oral hygiene is much easier than with traditional braces, due to the aligners being removable. You may also find that they cause less discomfort than metal braces, which can occasionally cause gum irritation.

Invisalign Helps Patients from London Remedy Their Crooked Teeth

March 17th, 2012

Many people around the world suffer from crooked teeth. Crooked teeth can spoil the beauty of your smile and also the way you feel about yourself and can be a serious self-confidence breaker. One of the most popular and effective ways to treat crooked teeth is Invisalign. Invisalign treatment involves the use of clear plastic aligners that are fixed around the teeth in order to gently push them back into position.

The Facts

Patients who do not want to use metal braces can opt for Invisalign, as the greatest advantage of Invisalign is that they are almost invisible. However, not everyone can use this technique to fix their teeth. If you are a patient from London and have issues with your bite or severely rotated teeth, Invisalign might not be the best option for you. The best way to find out is by consulting a dentist.

How It Works

First the orthodontist will create a 3D image of your teeth and then a lab technician will use the mold and the 3D map to make clear plastic retainers specifically designed according to your teeth’s size and shape. The retainers will be securely fitted onto your teeth and will slowly and steadily move the teeth into perfect alignment. As the teeth moves into place, you will need to get new aligners, with new aligners required every two weeks. They must be worn at all times, except while drinking or eating, in order to get fast and maximum results.

Effects

Many patients with crooked teeth have benefited from Invisalign treatment. If aligners are properly worn as per directions and if they stay on your teeth except for eating or drinking, then the results will start to show within weeks.

Time Frame

It’s impossible to predict the time required for this treatment to be completed, since every case is different. However, before the treatment begins the dentist will be able to give you an approximate completion time. On average an individual would need 20-30 aligners for both the upper and lower teeth, so it may take somewhere in between 12 to 18 months
