All of us have a smile hidden somewhere in our facial muscles, but some of us are reluctant to display it, because we are self-conscious about our teeth. Not implementing proper dental care from a young age can cause dental problems that you will suffer with in later life. Farnham Road Dental Practice encourages parents to bring their children into the surgery from a young age, to acclimatise them to the dental surgery environment. This gives them confidence as they grow up to attend their regular six monthly dental check-ups and hygienist appointments. Preventive dentistry includes educating patients of all ages on the merits of adhering to a proper structured oral hygiene regime. Unfortunately we see many cases where children have grown into adults with problems such as crooked, ill-spaced and overcrowded teeth. All of these conditions could have been attended to when they were young. Fortunately dental science and technology have made enormous strides, resulting in a great number of devices available to dentists to correct these dental problems. Six Month Smiles Guildford is a device which can correct a number of aesthetic conditions pertaining to your front teeth, helping us to discover your best smile.
Six Month Smiles inconspicuous and effective
In the past one of the drawbacks of having your teeth straightened was that it would take an average of eighteen months to two years. Wearing an uncomfortable and unattractive dental appliance for that period did not seem worth it. The results were normally very good, but it just seemed like too much inconvenience to have to endure. Orthodontics recognised this and dental science, together with the technological breakthroughs that have occurred over the past decades, made it possible to create more modern and efficient devices. Six Month Smiles Guildford is a dental brace which is comfortable to wear and uses materials which blend in with your natural teeth making them less noticeable.
Tailor made around you
No two people are the same and because of this fact we need to conduct a thorough oral cavity examination including X-rays, scans and images to identify your dental condition and discuss with you what direction our plan of treatment should take. Once we have agreed that Six Month Smiles Guildford is the correct treatment for your particular condition, we will create moulds of your teeth which will be sent to the laboratory to manufacture your personal braces. You will need to return for a second appointment once we have received your braces, so that we can fit them to your teeth. Your braces are coloured to match your tooth enamel meaning that they are not easily noticeable.You will be required to attend the dental surgery monthly to allow us to make the fine adjustments necessary to gradually coax your teeth to their desired positions. The average time taken from start to finish of treatment is six months, but depending on your condition this may extend by a month or two.
Your smile can radiate once again
Once your treatment is complete you will be provided with a custom-made retainer which you will need to wear for a few months while your teeth settle into their new positioning.
