Braces

Braces for adults

Due to many of the associations and stigmas of braces, many adults can be averse to straighten their teeth, to avoid any kind of ‘embarrassing’ or noticeable treatments. However, there are many fantastic dental treatments available, that directly aim to attack these stigmas, and provide a solution to many of the reasons why people might not opt for orthodontic treatment in adulthood.

The important thing to remember is that braces are important, not just for the look of your teeth, but also your oral health. Teeth that are misaligned can grind together in an irregular way, which can make the teeth erode at a faster rate. This can then put you at risk of more cavities, as the teeth have been made weaker, and potentially more grooved in places.This means cavities have more chance of developing, as dirt cannot be removed by regular brushing methods.

Invisalign

One of the most popular and obvious ways of solving the problem of adults not wanting to get braces is Invisalign. Invisalign works by using a series of plastic transparent braces that are moulded to the teeth, so that when they are worn, they fit exactly over the them. When they are used, they are virtually invisible, meaning that you will be able to receive dental treatment without people noticing.

However, there are some disadvantages to Invisalign. Invisalign cannot correct teeth that are severely crooked, and these may need to be tackled with fixed braces, or even surgery in some cases. Invisalign can also be removed, which is a great feature, however it places some responsibility on the wearer of the brace, as it needs to be kept in for at least 20 hours a day, otherwise the treatment will be ineffectual. Where some braces won’t have this issue, Invisalign has the danger of being disrupted by the habits of the user. If you are interested in Incognito in Weybridge, then this is a great alternate option.

Incognito braces

As an adult, you are not denied fixed braces, however we will assume that many adults will not want to appear with metal tracks on their teeth. If you are looking for Incognito in Weybridge, then this is something that we offer. Incognito is a form of brace that works extremely similarly to fixed braces, however the metal tracks run on the inside of the teeth, rather than the outside. Due to special technology, your dentist will be able to create a 3D projection of what your teeth will look like after the treatment, and therefore be able to adjust the braces accordingly. This also means that you will be able to know exactly what the treatment is doing for you, and what you are paying for.

Incognito in Weybridge is available at our very own practice Weybridge Orthodontics, and represents a fantastic option that is different to Invisalign and fixed braces, but reaps many of the advantages from both. We understand that image can be extremely important, both during and after the treatment, so it will be our number one priority to make sure your treatment is as discreet as you want it to be.

Incognito: the braces that are invisible in everyday life

Incognito braces are one of the most popular treatment options at Weybridge dental practice Surrey Braces. These metal appliances can be used to correct a wide number of orthodontic issues with one key difference to standard braces: because they are placed on the rear, or lingual, surfaces of the teeth, they will not be noticed in everyday life.

It is now considered standard for children and teenagers in the UK to have orthodontic treatment as required. However, there is also an increase in demand among adult patients who want to straighten their teeth.

At our Weybridge dental practice we understand that many adults will balk at the thought of wearing standard metal braces, with treatment times of two years or more. However, we are also keen to stress that there are more than just aesthetic benefits to be gained from straightening your teeth.

What is a lingual brace?

Lingual braces such as Incognito use the tried and tested techniques of orthodontics to correct a wide range of tooth alignment problems. Braces comprise brackets and wires that gently move your teeth into a new, more desirable position.

The major difference is that lingual braces are attached to the rear surfaces of your teeth, meaning that nobody will see them, and nobody need know that you are having orthodontic treatment, unless you choose to tell them.

Your treatment time will depend upon your individual needs, because each patient’s case is different. However, by using advanced technology and customised brackets, your teeth will be moved in a highly efficient manner.

How will my lifestyle be affected?

Again, every patient’s experience will be different. A small number of patients experience a minor speech impediment for the first couple of weeks, which will improve over time. If you play a wind or brass instrument you may need to adapt your technique slightly whilst wearing braces.

The Rigorous Test of Braces

When we design braces for our patients, we give them the assurance that they will be able to correct any misalignment their teeth may have. Part of that assurance is convincing them that the braces can withstand whatever the patient will decide to put in their mouths. The question many of them ask is ‘How can brackets and wires stand against all the food we eat until the next appointment?’

Beating Up Braces

the rigorous test of bracesIt is a fact that not many patients know, but all the tools that dentists use on their patients go through a rigorous battery of strength tests before they reach the market. Researchers have come up with a variety of ways to replicate real life situations in testing dental products and tools. There is even a robot that looks like a jaw that moves up and down repeatedly to simulate chewing.

Strength testing is one of the most important hidden aspects of dentistry; because of the work such tools are expected to perform. Braces need – through constant pressure – to weaken teeth enough to move them into the desired position, as well as protect them from external forces that would push them out of alignment. It is a balancing act that requires both power and durability on the part of the tool.

No Further Testing Required

Plenty of effort goes into the construction of such materials to ensure that they can still perform under extreme situations. But, that is not license for patients to attempt to test the limits of their braces. They should focus their energy on following their dentist’s instructions on caring for their braces. The point of wearing braces is to fix misalignments, not to test how strong they are under duress.

In fact, patients would only be hurting themselves if they do that because strength testing has already been done, and they are simply putting unnecessary pressure on their teeth. Leave the dental tool testing to the professionals, and just get ready for the new straight smile you will enjoy when the braces are finally removed.

Introducing Incognito – how lingual braces can straighten your teeth discreetly

Incognito braces are among the most popular orthodontic treatments at our Weybridge dental practice. They employ the traditional principles of orthodontics, but there’s one big difference: they are lingual braces, which means they are placed on the back of your teeth. This means that they are highly discreet.

incognito lingual bracesLingual braces are suitable for correcting a wide range of orthodontic problems in patients of all ages. At Surrey Braces dental practice in Weybridge, we have used them to treat a wide range of orthodontic issues successfully.

How do lingual braces work?

Incognito lingual braces work in the same way as conventional braces, using a system of wires and brackets to gently move your teeth into a more desirable position. The major difference is that they are placed on the back of the teeth, next to the tongue, meaning that nobody will know you are having treatment unless you choose to tell them.

Although other lingual brace systems are available, Incognito is the only 100% customised appliance system for invisible orthodontics currently available in the UK.

The latest technological advances are used to create braces entirely customised to the shape of your teeth and your dental needs. At Surrey Braces in Weybridge your orthodontist will create a unique prescription for Incognito lingual braces to produce the ideal results.

Further advantages of Incognito braces
