Spring is now in full bloom and at this time of year, we are always looking at the future. This could be planning for a summer holiday, sorting out the house or even a smile transformation! Our case of the month for April was a fabulous one highlighting how a new smile really can transform your confidence and general well being. One of the most popular treatments we use to straighten front teeth is the Social 6 lingual brace. This is the only brace that can be considered truly invisible as it is placed behind the teeth and hidden from view. No more train tracks! Most treatments are only 3-4 months hence you could have a beaming smile in time for the Bank Holiday in August. 

Our client was on a deadline as hew was having a lot of dental work completed elsewhere but was told he needed his front teeth straighter. Many other dental clinics said it was not possible but we bucked the trend and managed to complete the treatment on schedule with great results.

We love a challenge especially when it concerns teeth straightening and our case of the month treated in October was a great one. Our lovely patient came to us to straighten her front teeth only after years of being down about her smile. She was told by several dentists that it simply was not possible without going through a long drawn out full mouth orthodontic plan. We were happy to take on the challenge head on and after some careful planning, Dr Nissit Patel was able to provide a great result in a few months using the Social 6 lingual brace.
 

Teeth alignment is an incredibly popular cosmetic dental treatment which we have been offering for nearly 16 years at Progressive Dentistry. Most people know about Invisalign, which is a fantastic treatment using clear aligners. However, not many are aware of lingual braces. This brace is placed behind the teeth hence no one will know you are straightening your teeth. This treatment is not readily available at most dental practices like Invisalign as it is regarded as being more technically difficult and requires special training. 

We have been placing lingual braces for over 15 years and have treated thousands of patients in that time. There is no substitute for experience!
 

One of our favourite treatments for cosmetic teeth straightening is the Social 6 lingual brace. This brace is the truly invisible brace as it is placed on the inside of the teeth. Even though lingual braces have been around for many decades, there is little awareness of the system as the treatment in the past has been kept within the realm of specialist orthodontists and the costs have been incredibly high compared to conventional braces. Now for complex cases, lingual brace treatment is an extremely difficult and technically demanding one for dentists and patients and the costs, quite rightly, relate to this. However, for more simple cosmetic alignment, the Social 6 lingual brace is a great option for simple, quick and affordable treatment.
