Why wait for a year or more to have an attractive, even smile?

If you are a follower of Beau Monde Dental Care on Facebook, you will have seen some recent photographs that were taken of our patients who have had their teeth straightened by our Bristol dentist Dr Nicola White.

The differences between the ‘before’ and ‘after’ pictures are quite significant and the patient’s smile greatly improved.

Six Month Smile

These smiles were achieved through the use of the Six Month Smiles orthodontic system, of which Beau Monde Dental Care is a recognised provider. This means that you can be assured of excellent care whilst you have your teeth straightened.

Whilst the Six Month Smiles may not always be the best option for some corrective procedures, namely those patients where the rear teeth need repositioning, it does offer a very fast and successful way of straightening out a crooked smile.

This is achieved by focusing the straightening on the visible front teeth only, which means that we only need a relatively short treatment period to restore your smile.

Highly visible braces are now a thing of the past at Beau Monde Dental in Bristol

Many of us who can still remember the school dentist can also remember a few fellow pupils who suffered the indignity of having to wear dental braces.

Back then, these were highly visible and could result in embarrassment and, on occasions, even bullying.

Whilst their use was to benefit the wearer in the long term, by straightening out crooked and uneven teeth; for many people, any positive effects were negated by the experiences they suffered whilst wearing them.

Modern orthodontics

Whilst there are still probably many people in the Bristol area who can recall this type of dental brace, things have certainly changed since then and, at Beau Monde Dental Care, we are now able to offer one of the most popular of the new range of modern adult orthodontics to our patents; the Six Months Smiles cosmetic braces system.

In fact, we are a recognised provider of this product and, as such, you can be assured of top quality care when it comes to straightening your teeth.

If so, now is the time to be considering the Six Month Smiles orthodontic procedure.

Getting married is one of the biggest days of our lives and we quite naturally want everything to go perfectly on the day. Whilst some of this may be down to luck, a lot of it revolves around planning; booking the venue, the photographer etc.

Whilst finding a good photographer is important though, what happens if you have teeth that look far from perfect and will inevitably appear in close up when you smile for the camera?

Teeth realignment is not for teenagers alone.

Remember when you were told that you needed dental braces as a teenager? Like many, when you heard this you probably refused to have the treatment done. After all, your teeth weren’t that crooked were they?

Although probably most teenagers did accept having braces, a significant number certainly did not, deterred by their appearance and the amount of potential bullying that was likely to follow. Given that the teenage years are important in terms of building a social life and developing character, it is hardly surprise that wearing “train track” braces did not come very high up the list of ‘should dos’!

What can be done in adult life?

Adult Orthodontics at Beau Monde Dental Care

The idea of dental braces has been around for a very long time and rudimentary versions of them have been found during archeological excavations from time to time. Needless to say, these are of a variety that we would now refuse to wear. In fact, braces from just twenty years ago were still relatively unsophisticated and unfortunately many of us now have  crooked teeth as a result of refusing to wear these “train track” versions as teenagers. This refusal is probably not surprising given the appearance of traditional dental braces, combined with the fact that our teen years are when most people are looking for their first relationships.

It is often the thought of these old-style braces which puts most of us off the idea of wearing orthodontic appliances, even as we get older. However, its not too late to straighten teeth in older people and, what’s more, there are now new styles of brace which are much more comfortable and discreet to wear.
