Braces have come a long way in recent years and there are possibilities now that you may not be aware of. We offer a brand of tooth realignment called Six Month Smiles at our clinic in Stevenage. Braces in this system are tooth coloured and so they are hard to see against the teeth unless someone is really looking.

braces-in-stevenageWhatever your concerns, our fully trained staff are available to discuss these with you during a full consultation and explain your treatment options to you. We all want to look our best and make a positive impression on the people we meet and here at Smilecraft in Stevenage, braces can make all the difference, and we understand the impact that an uneven smile can have on your confidence both in your business life and at home.

Uneven teeth can look unsightly and we understand the impact that having uneven or misaligned teeth can have on your confidence. Your smile is one of the first things that people notice about you and improving the appearance of your teeth can be a huge confidence booster.

A healthy smile is a beautiful smile

Preserving the health of our teeth into older age is one of the most important things we can do for ourselves. Misaligned teeth not only look unsightly but also can be more difficult to care for and keep clean. Gaps and uneven angles in our teeth can be awkward to reach and keep thoroughly clean and this can lead to plaque build up or decay. Misaligned teeth can also cause problems with your bite, which can cause discomfort and contribute to other issues.

Having your teeth straightened with braces at Smilecraft in Stevenage will not only improve your appearance but will help to improve and maintain the health of your teeth. A beautiful smile really is a healthier smile and strong healthy teeth can be one of your best assets.

Options to suit you

We have a range of options for braces in Stevenage, offering both traditional wire braces and modern invisible braces. As an adult you may feel embarrassed wearing visible braces and therefore prefer the invisible option. These have the added advantage that you can choose to remove them for that important meeting or special occasion easily and comfortably.

If you would like to find out more about your options for teeth straightening or alignment then book a free no obligation consultation with one of our smile experts today. Our smile expert can explain the different options for braces in Stevenage, Smilecraft that could work for you. Improving your smile, protecting your health, it could just be one of the best investments you ever make.

Is it normal to need braces?

Growing up, trips to the dentist are an unavoidable must, especially when we are young and our teeth and gums are still developing. It is quite common for a large percentage of people in England to need braces at some stage of their life.

braces-in-stevenageOnce the baby teeth have grown out, the second, permanent teeth come through, and it is these that sometimes grow at different rates or angles for various reasons. Braces are used to keep the growing teeth aligned and help them to develop in the areas of the mouth that they should be. The braces will be left on for a number of months, sometimes years, depending on the individual patient’s needs.

Nowadays it is more common to see grown adults with braces too; for us at Smilecraft Dental Care in Stevenage, braces can offer an opportunity to children and adults to help them get the smile they always wanted. Braces are a normal part of growing up for many young people, and the benefits far outweigh any negatives. There are different types of braces to choose from too, so if you are worried about colour or how they will look, there’s no need. Currently you can choose from the following types of braces:

–      Clear braces

–      Lingual Braces

–      Gold Plated Braces

–      Stainless Steel Braces

–      Titanium Braces

If you are considering braces, Stevenage is home to Smilecraft Dental Care, where a qualified dentist can fit the braces for you and advise you on how to best look after them whilst they are on.

It is beneficial to get braces when you are younger, as not only will it be covered by the NHS if you are under the age of eighteen, but you will likely need them on for less time if you are younger and the teeth are easier to manipulate.

So, for braces in Stevenage, contact Smilecraft Dental Care, and if you are worried about the thought of having braces fitted, think about the benefits to your mouth, speech, and overall smile if you have them, rather than the short-term problems or embarrassment they could cause.

Using Six Month Smiles cosmetic braces for straightening adults’ teeth

Six Month Smiles braces are designed to quickly and subtly correct mild to moderate alignment issues with the front teeth. They are a popular choice at Stevenage dental practice Smilecraft, being made from clear and tooth-coloured components and having, as the name suggests, an average treatment time of just half a year.

six-month-smiles-stevenageMany people come to our Stevenage dental clinic wrongly believing that their time for orthodontics has passed them by. Whether they missed out on having treatment in their younger days, perhaps not qualifying under strict NHS criteria, or they had treatment but failed at the retention stage, they think they are lumbered with crooked, crowded, or misaligned front teeth for life.

Furthermore, even those who have heard about adult orthodontic treatment think that it must involve wearing metal braces. Whilst some celebrities can get away with a metal brace as a kind of fashion statement, for your average professional man or woman the thought can be very off-putting.

That’s where Six Month Smiles come in. These cosmetic braces blend in so well with the natural colour of your teeth that the vast majority of people you meet in day-to-day life won’t notice them. Whilst they are not designed to correct major issues with your bite – that’s how your jaws meet together – for primarily cosmetic concerns including gappy, crooked, or crowded teeth – they are an excellent choice.

As with any type of braces, Six Month Smiles require scrupulous dental hygiene. After your braces are fitted you should book an appointment with the hygienist at our Stevenage practice in order to learn how to clean around them properly. You should also brush your teeth after every meal whilst undergoing any type of orthodontic treatment.

When your braces treatment is complete, you will need to wear a retainer. Your dentist will discuss the various retention options we have on offer at Smilecraft in Stevenage, because if one thing’s for sure it’s that you’ll want to keep your beautiful new smile and show it off to everyone.

By choosing these cosmetic braces from our Stevenage dental practice, the smile of your dreams could be just a few months away.

The benefits of cosmetic braces as an adult

Whatever type is used, braces always bring health as well as aesthetic benefits. At Smilecraft Dental Care in Stevenage, we offer discreet orthodontic treatment to adults, using the popular Six Month Smiles system of cosmetic braces.

cosmetic-braces-stevenageWhen people think of orthodontic treatment, they usually picture metal train-track braces that remain popular with teenagers. Modern appliances offer customisation options, and many teens enjoy decorating their braces with elastics in the colours of their favourite football or rugby team. But it’s not hard to see why these obvious appliances are considered incompatible with a professional adult lifestyle, and can be a significant barrier to treatment.

Six Month Smiles are different. They are made of clear ceramic braces and tooth-coloured nickel-titanium wires, meaning that they blend in well with the natural colour of your teeth so that they are not instantly noticeable in everyday life.

At our Stevenage dental practice we believe in breaking down barriers to treatment so that everyone can enjoy the benefits of straighter teeth, which is why we use these discreet braces.

Six Month Smiles aren’t meant for major correction of issues affection your bite (the way that your jaws meet each other) but for rapid correction of mild to moderate alignment issues affecting the front teeth, these braces are the perfect choice.

Here at Smilecraft Dental Care in Stevenage we find that it is these teeth – the ones on display when you smile – that the majority of adults are concerned about.

Stevenage discreet braces

Your journey towards straighter teeth begins with a consultation with a Six Month Smiles certified dentist at our Stevenage clinic. They will take photographs and impressions of your teeth so that your braces can be custom-made.

It’s worth noting that six months is actually the average treatment time, with some mild cases at our Stevenage dental practice being complete in half that time. They also use lower forces than standard appliances, thus are more comfortable.

Straightening your teeth helps to improve your dental hygiene, which will help to minimise your risk of gum disease and tooth decay, as long as you have an effective home brushing and flossing routine and visit your dentist and hygienist regularly.

In the 21st Century, metal braces are not the only option for straightening teeth. Whilst they remain popular with children and teenagers, who enjoy the customisation options available with modern metal fixed appliances that enable them to use their brace as a fashion statement.

However, at our Stevenage dental practice, we appreciate that a fixed metal appliance can be a barrier to orthodontic treatment for many adults, because an obvious metal braceis not particularly compatible with a busy professional lifestyle.
