We recognise that the recent\nlockdown measures taken across the country may have caused higher levels of\nanxiety than normal and has caused many people to refrain from making visits to\npractices unless it is absolutely necessary. As such, in an attempt to provide\ndental care to those who are unable to visit our practice, we offer online\nconsultations. For those who are wondering what an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smilecraft.co.uk\/\">e-consultation in Stevenage<\/a> is,\nit is a way of digitally examining a patient&#8217;s dental wellbeing and working\nalongside them to create a unique treatment plan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Benefits of an e-consultation in Stevenage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the main benefits of an <strong>e-consultation in Stevenage<\/strong> is that patients have time to\nexplain their dental concerns and treatment goals to a professional through an\nonline messaging system. This can be helpful for many patients as they may\nstruggle to properly voice their concerns and wishes during a physical\nconsultation as they have ample time and can carry out their digital\nconsultation at a time and location in which they feel comfortable and relaxed.\nThis ability to choose when they carry out the online consultation is another\nkey appeal for those who are busy working from home and cannot spare any time\nto visit our practice to carry out a physical consultation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Six Month Smiles treatment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most common concerns which patients\ncommonly voice during their online consultations is the misalignment of their\nteeth. Many of the patients who voice concerns about having crooked teeth have\nrefrained from getting their teeth professionally straightened because they are\nconvinced that treatment will vastly affect their outward appearance for as\nlong as twelve months as conventional, fused metal braces often do. However,\nthrough treatments such as Six Month Smiles, we can straighten a patient&#8217;s teeth\nin such a way that it yields positive results in just six months &#8211; and without\nhaving a massively impacting effect on their outward appearance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How does Six Month Smiles work?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Six Month Smiles system operates through two\ndifferent branches of cosmetic orthodontics, with both being tailored to meet\nthe needs set by each individual patient. The first method is \u2018Invisible\nbraces\u2019 which are discreet orthodontics which operate in a similar method to\nconventional braces, only they yield results in a shorter time frame. The\n\u2018invisible\u2019 nature of this method comes from the fact that the brackets used\nare specifically color-matched to blend in with the patient&#8217;s teeth and the\nwire used is made of transparent plastic and as such is far less visible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The other alternative Six Month Smiles treatment\nwhich we offer here at <strong>Smilecraft<\/strong> is\nthe removable retainer method. This alternative method of dental alignment,\nwhich doesn&#8217;t require anything to be attached to a patient&#8217;s teeth, is purely\nmade up of a single transparent retainer. This retainer is made out of a\ndigital impression of every patient&#8217;s unique tooth shape and is both\ntransparent and wafer-thin. When worn over the patient&#8217;s teeth, the retainer\nuses pressure points that are built within it to push their teeth together\nuntil they are straight. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Adapting to the times At Smilecraft, we are a dentist who is completely dedicated to providing care to all those who need it in such a way that they feel comfortable, informed, and safe.
