One of our favourite techniques is the Social 6 lingual brace. This is a great technique for the cosmetic improvement of the front 4 upper or lower teeth. The brace is placed on the inside of the teeth, making this a truly INVISIBLE brace.The treatment times are often very quick, making this a short term treatment. So if you cannot stand the thought of metal train track brackets, using aligners (such as Invisalign) for 20-22 hours of the day, and you simply want to straighten your front 4 teeth, the Social 6 lingual brace could be for you. Here is a recent example of how the system works:
 

Before 300x200 0

Front tooth sticking out.

After 300x200 0

Straight teeth! In only 8 weeks.

The treatment took only 2 wires and approximately 8 weeks in total. If you would like to straighten your teeth in a short space of time using an invisible brace, please contact us today. You could have a new smile by Christmas!

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.
