Lingual Full Arch Braces, Tooth Whitening & Cosmetic Bonding Smile Transformation

Our case of the month for March is simply astounding. Smile transformation in the true sense of the word. There were three treatments involved in the process:

  1. Lingual full arch braces
  2. Tooth whitening
  3. Cosmetic bonding

Lingual braces are braces placed on the inside of the teeth. If your lifestyle does not support traditional outside braces, then this is the option for you. They are the only invisible brace and can correct teeth in the same manner as conventional braces. We use self ligating lingual braces as a rule- these types of brackets do not require any additional wires or elastic bands to be placed around them. This reduces friction and speeds up treatment. Examples of the types of brackets we use are MTM, GC Experience and Forestadent 2-D brackets.

The process is as simple as ABC: Alignment using a cosmetic brace; Bleaching teeth to whiten them; Cosmetic bonding to enhance the symmetry. There is NO need to cut and destroy healthy tooth enamel. The Progressive Dentistry Smile is pain free, affordable and creates beautiful natural smiles. Smile transformation of the 21st century.

Composite can also be used to replace old fillings on front ( or back) teeth. The great advantage of bonding includes:1. Treatment is completed in one visit; an instant smile transformation! 2.

Social 6 lingual brace, whitening and bonding. The truly invisible brace

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 diffic… CONTINUE READING
