Smile More, Worry Less: Cosmetic Braces For A Gap-Free Grin

{ News - Nothing but the tooth }

Our case of the month for December involves closing a gap between the front teeth. In the old days of dentistry, this may have involved cutting down teeth for porcelain veneers or having braces for 2 years. However, with modern day cosmetic dentistry and expertise, such cases can be treated in a few months without having to cut teeth. How? Well, it is simple. Careful planning and execution. Here is the case:
 

Before 300x200yy

Mind the gap! A mid line space present.

After 300x200rr

Space closed fully using a cosmetic brace in only a few months.

The space was closed using a cosmetic ceramic brace placed on the outside of the teeth. This is a fantastic way of improving the smile quickly and without the visible implications of metal. In only a few months the gap was closed fully and secured with a fixed retainer placed on the inside of the teeth. If you would like to improve your smile in the new year with cosmetic braces, invisible braces or any form of cosmetic dentistry, please contact us. A new smile could be here quicker than you thought! Treatment completed by Dr Nissit Patel. Photographs are the sole property of Dr Nissit Patel. Reproduction is not allowed.

Invisalign Comprehensive to Close Spaces and Improve the Bite

Can Invisalign really close gaps between the teeth?

One of the most common comments we encounter when discussing Invisalign with our patients is 'can Invisalign really close large gaps between my teeth?'. The reason for this is that most dentists will say that only fixed braces have enough 'force' to close spaces with any certainty. However, with careful planning and using the latest technology available, we can predictably close gaps and improve the bite using Invisalign.

Our patient was told it was impossible but we managed to straighten her teeth

Case of the Month October

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.

Straightening a twisted front tooth within a few weeks

Case of the Month April 2025

Our case of the month for April 2025 is a familiar one where there was some relapse after past braces and a front tooth had started to twist over the adjacent tooth. In the grand scheme of things, this is a minor issue but if you have already had braces and a front tooth starts to rotate, this is incredibly frustrating!

Now the good news is that we can correct this in a short space of time, with a discreet solution, with minimum fuss and at an affordable fee. The answer lies in the Social 6 lingual brace which is placed on the inside of the teeth making it the only truly invisible brace system. Please take a look at the before and after photos so see how it works.
