braces-in-stevenageA problem worth solving

Crooked or misaligned teeth can look unsightly and can also give rise to dental problems. This can include excessive wear in places, causing gums to recede, bacterial build-up leading to a greater chance of gum disease, and even difficulties chewing food properly. Teeth that sit together properly are less likely to need as much dental treatment over the years as crooked teeth. Investing in braces in Stevenage could therefore actually mean you spend less money on your teeth down the line.

Your choice for orthodontics in Stevenage

If you have an issue with your smile that is related to how the teeth line up, or how the bite aligns, or even if you have an issue with gaps, then you may be in need of orthodontics. In Stevenage, at our clinic, we are happy to discuss your options with you and look forward to welcoming you.

orthodontics-in-stevenageWhy we are an excellent choice

Teeth straightening can be quite an extended journey and one where you will need to visit your dentist fairly regularly. As this is the case then you will want to visit a practice with a team you can trust. This kind of reliance can take many forms.

For a start, you want to be sure you are getting the right advice and that comes from checking out a practice’s credentials, track record and training. We are happy to give you any reassurance you need on this front and we adhere to the guidelines laid out by the General Dental Council.

Hygiene is of understandable importance to patients and you want to know you are being looked after. We operate a transparent policy around our hygiene procedures so you can have any information you need to make you feel safe. You can visit the section of our website called ‘The Decontamination Journey’ to check out some of what we do.

You need to be able to have faith that your dentist will be with you every step of the way. We offer a thorough consultation and examination followed by the supply of as much information as you need to feel comfortable about the teeth straightening journey you are embarking on. During treatment, you get regular check-ups and can ask any questions you like. We encourage an open and friendly environment at our practice. Finally, we stay with you at the aftercare stage as most straightening will require up to a year of wearing a retainer. We want you to remain satisfied and become a regular patient of ours for years to come.

At Smilecraft, we want the best for our patients and we hope you will consider us as you choice for orthodontics in Stevenage.

Welcome to the Six Month Smiles®braces in Stevenage, an affordable, effective, and safe cosmetic braces solution that slots right into your lifestyle.

More aboutSix Month Smiles®

In Stevenage, braces with Six Month Smiles® are a modern twist on tried-and-true braces treatments. The dental community generally agrees that braces are the most widely used and most effective technique for giving patients straight, healthy teeth and a beautiful smile. Six Month Smiles® modify the materials and methods used in braces in Stevenage to give adults a common-sense, cosmetic solution that fits their way of life.

What makes these braces in Stevenage so innovative

The average treatment times with Six Month Smiles® are a mere six months, as opposed to one or two years. Six months go by in a blink, and during that time, the patient’s smile is not obliterated by metal train-tracks because Six Month Smiles Lucid-Lok® uses clear brackets and tooth-coloured wires, which are almost unnoticeable. Patients can chat and laugh and grin away without worrying that others are staring at their teeth instead of listening to their words.

And patients know how their smiles will look at when the braces are removed, because using braces has been shown to provide the most conservative and predictable final result.

Patients who are anxious about months of pain or discomfort can relax in the knowledge that this system of braces in Stevenage employs low forces to reposition the teeth, thereby increasing comfort and safety.

Six Month Smiles: the faster way to a beautiful smile

At Smilecraft Dental Care in Stevenage, orthodontics is the practice used to reposition your teeth more quickly and comfortably, thanks to the latest cutting-edge technology.

Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry concerned with improving the appearance, position and function of crooked or abnormally arranged teeth.

six-month-smilesBraces are a common treatment for our patients in Stevenage.Orthodontics is treatment for correcting the position of the teeth, and in some special cases, patients also have to wear headgear at night and possibly even have some teeth removed. This, along with traditional metal braces, have, over the years, acquired orthodontics a reputation for sometimes inflicting two or three pain-filled years on patients.

In fact, many people have been put off by the stories of the sores that can develop on gums and teeth, and the actual pain in the teeth as they endure the forces used to move them, to say nothing of the embarrassment of a mouth ‘full of metal’.

At Smilecraft, we use a different braces technology to treat people who only need to have their teeth straightened, and do not require any major corrections to their bite. It’s called Six Month Smiles, which has several advantages of over traditional braces.

  • Six Month Smiles take between four and nine months to deliver great results.
  • The braces use standard orthodontic mechanics to move the teeth, but because the aim is cosmetic appearance rather than the position of the bite, the force used to reposition the teeth are gentler.
  • The braces in Stevenage generally work out much cheaper than traditional braces.

When you come to us you will be under the care of either Dr Bradley Abrahams or Dr Caroline Hildebrand. Bradley has been a dentist for nearly 30 years, and started our practice in Stevenage back in 1990. He is particularly interested in cosmetic dentistry, the art of giving people a sparkling smile, and has been a member of the British Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry for a long time.

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.

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.

What is orthodontics?

What exactly is orthodontics? Orthodontics is the general term used when talking about treatment of the teeth in order to improve their appearance and/or quality. Looking for orthodontics in Stevenage? Look no further than Smilecraft Dental. We provide some of the most popular orthodontics in Stevenage, including braces, brackets, and wires.

orthodonticsThe best age to begin orthodontics on a patient is between the ages of ten and fourteen, when the mouth and teeth are still growing and can be manipulated easier. Orthodontic treatment can be ongoing for many years, but this is of course dependant on the individual patient. Orthodontics can help with a multitude of problems including incorrect bite, wonky teeth, and poor speech due to teeth and jaw problems.

The procedures required will differ from patient to patient, and generally several visits to your dentist will be needed in order to fully assess the issues and potential orthodontic solutions. We can offer you a wealth of advice when it comes to looking after your orthodontics, such as not chewing on hard things such as pens or straws. We also advise using good oral health products at least twice daily to ensure your teeth and gums stay healthy and strong.

Many patients find that braces and the like can be embarrassing at times, or painful to start with, but here at Smilecraft Dental we know that it is worth it in the long term. Seeing patients at the end of their treatment is a fantastic feeling, especially when they are so happy with the orthodontics. Stevenage residents have a range of services available with us at our practice, so ensure you choose the right one for you by doing your research and discussing your dental worries with us.

There are many tools you can purchase to help with your orthodontics if you are worried about maintenance, such as floss, picks, and mouthwashes; any good Stevenage dental centre will be able to advise you further if you require it. We recommend visiting a dentist at least twice a year to keep up with your general oral health, but more visits may be required if you are undergoing orthodontic treatment.

Orthodontics is the area of dentistry that looks after the alignment of your teeth, correcting all forms of issues, such as protruding individual or whole sets of teeth, closing large gaps between teeth and correcting over-bites, under-bites and cross-bites. At Smilecraft in Stevenage, orthodontics is an area that we feel particularly confident within; in fact, we believe we are at the top of our game.

orthodontics-in-stevenageTraditional braces

Traditional braces, the type most of us are familiar with, are still very much in regular use. In fact, they are often the best possible option for complex cases as they provide the most substantial results. These braces suit children well, and can be customised to match their favourite colours to make them more appealing for those at school.

Lingual braces

Lingual, also known as hidden braces, are a relatively new option that takes advantage of the latest advances in dental technology. These braces are fixed, like traditional braces, but sit behind the teeth instead of on the front. This means that they can have similar effects to traditional braces, without being anywhere near as visible.

Invisible braces

One step further in the lack of visibility stakes is the invisible, or clear brace, featuring popular brands such as Invisalign. These braces are made of completely clear thermoplastic resin. Clear braces are fitted very closely to your teeth, and replaced regularly, usually around 20 times, with slight differences in shape in order to create the movement needed from your teeth and gently push them towards where you would like them to be.

It is difficult making a decision when choosing a practitioner within the field of orthodontics in Stevenage, but at Smilecraft we believe that we would be an excellent choice. Our highly trained, constantly challenged staff team, state-of-the-art dental practice, modern techniques, and exceptionally friendly practice staff makes us one of the wisest choices you could make. Come and see us and allow us to show you the quality of our service. We always put our patients first when it comes to our services in orthodontics in Stevenage.

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.
