Here at Shotley Bridge Dental Care we offer many different fast orthodontic solutions so we can tailor your needs.
INVISALIGN
A beautiful new smile increases self-esteem, improves confidence and results in a brighter, happier you, and with Invisalign, discovering the new you is easier than you think.
Invisalign treatment consists of a series of nearly invisible, removable aligners that are custom made just for you. As you replace each aligner, your teeth will move – little by little, week by week – until they have straightened to the final position prescribed by your practitioner.
Comfortable, removable and nearly invisible, creating your brand new smile is easier and more convenient than ever before.
Customised just for you
From the impressions taken at your first appointment, each aligner is individually manufactured for your teeth, and your teeth only.
Removable
You can remove your Invisalign aligners to eat, drink and clean your teeth. You can even remove them for special occasions, like a job interview or party, although you’ll be surprised how few people notice you’re wearing them.
Effective
You’ll begin enjoying the benefits of your new smile from the moment you start your treatment.
Comfortable
There are no metal wires or brackets with Invisalign treatment which makes incredibly comfortable to wear. You may experience some minor discomfort at the beginning of each new stage of treatment but this will wear off quickly.
Clear
Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible – creating your new smile can be your own little secret.
Will it work for me?
Invisalign can treat a huge range of straightening requirements, ranging from very minor tooth movements to much more complex cases.
SIX MONTH SMILES
Six Month Smiles® short term orthodontic treatment is a modern twist on conventional orthodontics. There is little debate within the orthodontic community that braces are the most widely used and most effective method to give patients straight, healthy teeth and a beautiful smile. Six Month Smiles has taken the best aspects of braces and modified the treatment and the materials to give adults a common-sense, cosmetic solution that fits your lifestyle. Here is what makes Six Month Smiles so innovative …
Average treatment times of only six months
Six Month Smiles Lucid-Lok® clear brackets and tooth-colored wires are barely visible
Use of braces has shown to provide the most conservative and predictable final result
Six Month Smiles Patient Tray Kits™ ensure that your appointments are fast and comfortable
Low forces and short overall orthodontic treatment times increase comfort, safety, and hygiene
Six Month Smiles is typically less expensive than traditional braces, aligner therapy, or veneers
Cfast
Cfast is a simple, gentle, minimally invasive cosmetic treatment that corrects alignment issues with the top and bottom front six teeth, and can level and round out the arches, thus satisfying the needs of the vast majority of adult patients who seek orthodontic treatment.
Cfast uses clear orthodontic brackets and tooth-colored nickel-titanium wires. The treatment works much like that using clear aligners, but tooth movement is much more predictable and usually more than twice as quick.
The nickel-titanium wires put gentle pressure on the brackets to level and align the teeth with minimal discomfort to the patient. The gums follow this movement to achieve a fully aesthetic outcome.
Cfast is a fast, effective and affordable treatment when adults are seeking to correct their smiles. Because we do not claim to address major orthodontic issues, Cfast can be done very quickly, making it more affordable than all other orthodontic options.
Cfast takes less time than conventional orthodontics because it focuses only on the “social six”, the front teeth that most influence the smile. The process is further enhanced with the use of special nickel-titanium wires, which exert gentle pressure to force movement in the teeth.
With clear brackets and tooth-colored wires, Cfast is barely noticeable – and worn for only a fraction of the time compared to traditional braces.
Standard orthodontic mechanics are still involved with CFAST, but because it’s just the front teeth, the force required is minimal. The nickel-titanium wires exert mild pressure to force the teeth to move, and this is done without the need for severe tightening which causes the discomfort noted in conventional orthodontic treatments.
INMAN ALIGNER
The Inman Aligner is the perfect solution for crowding or protrusion of the front teeth. It is really fast, very safe and great value. With the patented Inman Aligner, your front teeth can be gently guided to an ideal position in a matter of weeks. Most cases complete in 6-18 weeks and because it’s removable you can take it out to fit with your lifestyle.
