It is absolutely freezing outside and the snow is still falling. Beast from the East meets Storm Emma and chaos ensues. However, we at Progressive Dentistry plough on as normal helping you to achieve the smile of your dreams and maintain a healthy mouth. We love creating new smiles that transform your outlook, give you greater confidence, radiate warmth no matter how cold outside! Our case study involves teeth straightening using a ceramic outside brace, followed by tooth whitening and composite bonding. A great technique that is non-invasive, involves NO drilling, NO needles, NO pain and is affordable! Please have a look at how we completed the case:
 

Before ceramic braces 300x200 9

Before treatment. Crooked, yellow and chipped teeth.

Before cosmetic bonding 300x200 9

Teeth have been straightened using a ceramic tooth coloured brace. Just note how the back teeth are now visible. However, the teeth are uneven at the front due to tooth wear. The teeth have been whitened using the Philips ZOOM LED in surgery whitening.
 

After ceramic braces 300x200 9

Teeth are now even with cosmetic bonding; natural and life like. A lovely smile.

Our patient was delighted and has made a huge difference to her. Some of you may wonder about the triangle of space between the front teeth. This often occurs when front teeth need to rotate. However, the gum line often fills in over the following months. We will post a photograph to compare! Treatment completed by Dr Nissit Patel using Damon clear, Philips ZOOM LED whitening and G-aenial for cosmetic bonding. Photographs may NOT be copied for any reason with out permission.

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.
