Proud to supply Invisalign ‘invisible’ braces

November 8th, 2010

There’s been many impressive portmanteaus that are successful to this day, take for example, brunch (breakfast and lunch), smog (smoke and fog), motel (motor and hotel) and now – Invisalign.  A series of clear, removable teeth aligners, they’re a fantastic alternative to metal braces and excellent value for money.

Designed and manufactured by Santa Clara-based Align Technology, there are over 48,000 doctors worldwide who have provided more than 32 million aligners (and brilliant straight smiles!) – and Harley Street Dental group are proud to bring this service to their patients.

Sounds too good to be true?

The advantage of this product is that there really are no disadvantages to it.  Whilst people seeking to acquire straight teeth do so for cosmetic purposes, there’s another reason why having straight teeth is beneficial – they are simpler to keep clean than crooked teeth, as they can be a primary element of decay and other dental complications.

Due to the fixed nature of metal braces, it’s difficult to keep teeth clean as they cannot be removed for eating – with tooth decay occurring in up to 50% of patients who wear fixed braces.  Invisalign allows patients to remove their aligners when they need to eat and clean, and as they are removable you are free to eat whatever you want.

Say cheese!

Using a series of aligners, treatment can last from 6 months to a year.  The process starts with your orthodontist taking dental impressions, X-rays and photographs which are sent off to Align Technology – who then creates simulated images of your teeth being repositioned during the Invisalign stages.  Upon you consenting to the treatment, a plastic resign aligner is manufactured for each stage of the computer simulation and sent to your orthodontist.

Your aligners are custom moulded to allow your teeth to gradually shift into a straighter position – changing sets approximately every two weeks until your perfect smile is achieved.  Not only are they discreet and comfortable, the aligners also give less force and aches if you were to wear metal braces for the whole straightening process.

It’s written in the stars

What’s the secret behind the smiles of celebrities such as Grey’s Anatomy actress Katherine Heigl and supermodel Gisele Bundchen?  Of course – Invisalign!  Even Tom Cruise and Oprah Winfrey were rumoured to be wearing them (though it was hard to tell, that’s how deceptive Invisalign really is!).

Easy on your time and bank balance, becoming an Invisalign patient means less visits to the orthodontists than if you were wearing metal braces, and at an affordable price that is worth both your smile and self-esteem.

We understand the importance of a smile, and how much of a confidence boost it is to show off your pearly whites – and it doesn’t matter how young or old you are, it’s never too late to have something to smile about.

Harley Street Dental Studio Pioneering New Techniques

September 29th, 2010

Renowned cosmetic Dental Surgeon, Dr Mark Hughes has recently opened the Harley Street Dental Studio.  The new practice, based in the heart of the professional private medical community, uses groundbreaking techniques that are set to transform dentistry in the UK.

The Harley Street Dental Studio is one of the first cosmetic dentist practices to use a variety of techniques imported from the US.  Clients can benefit from the finest ‘micro-thin’ veneers, produced by the Da Vinci laboratory in California, and previously seen on Living TV’s The Swan and Extreme Makeover. Veneers such as these are only 0.3mm thick which gives a natural look and saves on tooth structure when creating new smiles.

Crowns and fillings

Crowns and fillings are created using Cerec 3D Cad-Cam which allows Dr Hughes to scan the tooth with a laser which produces a 3-dimensional model on the computer.  Dr Hughes is then able to cut an actual porcelain filling, ready to be fitted, in less than 10 minutes.  Technology such as this has previously only been seen in the US and the Harley Street Dental Studio is delighted to be able to offer such advancements to clients in the UK.

Having the perfect smile is important not only aesthetically but also promotes good health and wellbeing, therefore Invisalign orthodontics and Zoom 2 whitening treatments are extremely popular with Dr Hughes’s clients.

Invisalign products are ‘invisible’ and allow crooked teeth to move into the correct position without the need for braces – you can have the perfect smile without wearing braces to get it.

Zoom 2

A superior tooth whitening product from California – only takes 40 minutes to complete and teeth are brightened by several shades to give outstanding results.  Other advancements currently used by the Harley Street Dental Studio include replacing drills with lasers – resulting in silent treatments with no pain and no numbness and digital X-rays and scans.  These ensure sharper and more accurate images, with one tenth the radiation from conventional X-ray machines.

Working alongside Dr Hughes is a committed team, whose expertise stretches far beyond the call of traditional dentistry.  Dr Nick Fahey is a key team member whose skill and talent lies in endodontrics, prosthodontics and dental implantology.  Dr Hughes and Dr Fahey are ably assisted by Kathy Waters, a hygienist with over 10 years practical experience in private clinics around London.

In addition to using the latest dental techniques, the Studio also offers the ultimate lifestyle experience: a plasma screen showing a DVD of your choice, complete with Bang and Olufsen surround sound, a limousine service to and from the Studio and, for those who want the ultimate pampering experience, procedures such as a manicures or pedicures can be carried out while in the dentists chair.

Dr Hughes is dedicated to clinical excellence and has built a reputation as one of the finest aesthetic dentists in London.  He is well known in the industry for his impeccable standards and for working closely with patients to provide outstanding quality in dental and aesthetic treatments using only the latest techniques.

Invisalign Q&A’s

September 27th, 2010

We answer some common questions about one of the most advanced orthodontic treatments: Invisalign ‘invisible’ braces.

Q. How does Invisalign differ from other competitive orthodontic treatments?

A. Invisalign is a series of comfortable, removable nearly invisible ‘aligners’ that help to move teeth step by step to achieve a great smile. It is perfect for enhancing your natural assets, ‘using what you’ve got’ rather, for example, than drilling away the teeth and adding porcelain.

If you compare Invisalign to traditional braces, primary differences include there are no metal brackets or wires and unlike traditional ‘train tracks’ you can remove the aligners for special occasions, and indeed daily to eat and to keep up your oral hygiene.

Aligners are more comfortable than and not as painful as traditional braces. With the latter you are required to have the wires changed and tightened, which can cause great discomfort. Aligners on the other hand, apply a constant gentle force on the teeth without causing much pain.

Finally, you have a certain amount of flexibility as you will only need to see your doctor every 8 to 12 weeks. This means less maintenance – perfect for those with a busy schedule.

Q. When you say anti-ageing, can you explain in more detail how misaligned / overlapping teeth contribute to looking older than you need to?

A. One of the things that can happen to the teeth as we age is discolouration, which can also occur from stains penetrating the enamel.  Teeth, like any other part of the body, are also subject to wear and tear – everyday physical forces cause deterioration to the tooth structure. This can manifest with loss of enamel, resulting in teeth shortening, chipping or developing fracture lines.

Tooth decay and even gum disease over time may also cause deterioration in teeth, which can lead to fillings, root canals or in extreme cases, tooth loss. Gum disease can also cause teeth to loosen and move due to a loss of bone supporting the teeth. A natural movement in teeth also occurs throughout life; however teeth that are already crooked have a tendency to worsen further with age.

Discolouration and teeth that have moved, or are fractured are key indicators of ageing. Crooked teeth, particularly on the bottom, become more obvious as we age as the facial tissues become less elastic and the skin sags, making the teeth more visible. Crooked teeth also wear faster than straight teeth and therefore the effects of ageing are more obvious – the more discoloured and deteriorated the teeth, the older someone physically looks. With Invisalign you can tackle both the movement of teeth and the discolouration, as you can whiten your teeth during treatment, unlike with train track braces.

Q. Is there an age-limit on using Invisalign?

A. I would recommend the treatment to anyone from the age of twelve upwards, with no upper age limit.

Q. Are there any people who wouldn’t qualify for Invisalign (e.g. those with a number of crowns/implants in their mouths?

A. The most important thing is good oral health – if you are not orally fit, it can be contraindicated to go into treatment. You have to be careful about treatment choices if you have crowns or implants as this can provide limitations – you can’t move crowns or implants, just straighten the teeth around them.

Q. What are Dr Hughes’ tips on anti-ageing your teeth (and does this extend to gums too)?

A. Poor diet can be a cause of tooth deterioration, whether through sweet, hard, or staining food and drinks.  Failure to maintain an effective oral hygiene routine also plays a major part in the ageing process, as this can lead to tooth decay. Poor attendance for dental health checkups can add to the deterioration and prevents the opportunity for early detection of any problems such as decay, or clenching/grinding of teeth which can speed up the ageing process.

You can’t stall the ageing process but you can reduce the physical effects of it with a better diet (avoid too many sugary foods and those that can cause staining such as red wine, coffee etc), regular dental checkups and visits to a dental hygienist (considered part of a regular beauty routine for many people now, much like going for a facial). Ensure you are brushing teeth effectively and incorporate floss or interdental brushes into your oral hygiene routine to reach the tooth surface and gum between the teeth.

Taking measures to whiten the teeth and correct tooth position will also directly reduce the physical effects of the ageing process. Protective measures, such as a bite guard, can help slow tooth deterioration that occurs as a result of tooth grinding etc.

Q. What price range are we talking about?

A. The average cost ranges from £2,500 to £4,000. But if your teeth only need minor corrections, prices could be as low as £1,800.

Dental Veneers – Cover up Cracks

April 29th, 2009

Dental veneers will cover up dental misdemeanours like cracks, chips and gaps, giving you perfect teeth.

There is nothing more disheartening than knowing each time you smile you are revealing a mouth full of chipped, cracked or crooked teeth, big gaps, a gummy smile or even missing teeth. If you want to get your perfect smile back, the dental veneers are the best possible option. Most of the Hollywood superstars have had dental veneers fitted to give them their mega-watt smiles, and there’s no reason why you can’t have them too.

Dental Veneers – What are they?

Dental veneers are very fine layers of porcelain adhered to your teeth with a special glue by a professional dentist. They are designed especially to fit your mouth, and to cover any flaws in your teeth such as cracks, chips and gaps. No matter how unsightly your teeth currently are, dental veneers can remedy the problems so you can smile like an A-list star. Gone will be all those flaws, and in their place will seemingly be a new set of perfectly formed, white teeth. Dental veneers can be placed in the whole of the mouth, or simply on the front section that is most visible. Your choice will be made according to the budget you have to spend, and the extent of the flaws.

Dental Veneers – Are they painful?

Dental veneers are actually one of the simplest and most comfortable dental treatments. Your dentist will make an impression of your teeth, and have the veneers especially made for you. Once they are ready, they will be temporarily adhered to your teeth so you can get used to them and check that you are happy with the size and fit. Once you have given your dental veneers the thumbs up, your dentist will then permanently fix them to your teeth, instantly giving you a stunning new smile.

Dental Veneers – Is there only one type?

There are a number of brands of dental veneers on the market today, so you will be able to choose with the help of your dentist. They will tell you the difference between the brands, and why a particular one might best suit your teeth (or budget). Provided you are going to a specialist in dental veneers, they will be able to offer you more than one choice, and will most likely have the very latest dental veneers available. There would be nothing worse to spend all that money and time on having dental veneers fitted, only to find out that the manufacturer has just brought out an even better product!

Clear Braces – The Adult Attraction

April 29th, 2009

Adults are starting to realize the benefits of clear braces and how they can transform the appearance without anyone knowing.

When it comes to wearing braces as an adult, it can be hard coming to terms with the fact that people will be able to see what dental work you are having done, and it can leave you feeling demoralized and scared to undergo the necessary treatment.

Why Adults Prefer Clear Braces

With many adults still feeling like the only way to correct badly aligned teeth is to suffer a mouth full of metal, it might seem like there is no other option. However, this couldn’t be further from the truth, because now there is the option of clear braces, where the patient’s dental work is less visible to others, yet with the same effective result.

Clear braces mean adults at any age can get their minor dental problems fixed easily and conveniently. It is now the best option for people who have suffered for many years with crooked teeth and feel they need to do something about it.

By visiting an Invisalign specialist dentist, clear braces can be applied easily, minimizing the need for metal fixtures rubbing the gums and bands catching on your mouth. With clear braces, the solution has arrived.

Clear Braces – The Future Is Invisalign

The most popular clear braces option is Invisalign, a system which uses a series of clear aligners. Over time, these gradually realign the teeth and give you a confident looking smile. The beauty of Invisalign is that they are custom moulded to fit you, the individual, so this makes the whole procedure seem much more ‘personal’ as opposed to having standard metal brackets fitted to your teeth.

The future really is in Invisalign, the clear braces option that everyone is talking about. Thick, metal wires are not a necessity anymore, because clear braces give you the reassurance that your teeth are being realigned as well as providing you with the confidence that you are looking great throughout the whole procedure.

Through the widespread popularity of clear braces for adults, it is easy to see why they are the obvious choice. As you get older, you still care about your image, and clear braces do the job without making you embarrassed to open your mouth.

Orthodontics – Even The Celebrities Want Their Teeth Fixing

April 29th, 2009

It is becoming increasingly common to hear about celebrities having orthodontic treatment, and they are helping to make this a popular choice for people from all walks of life.

Celebrities are famed for always wanting to look their best. Becoming famous in their twenties may have meant that their lack of dentistry in their early years has left them with unsightly, misaligned teeth. This can be fixed with orthodontics, and more and more celebrities are undergoing treatment to make their teeth sparkling.

Orthodontics – There’s No Doubt That This Singer Needed Treatment

Back in 1999, pictures surfaced of No Doubt singer Gwen Stefani wearing braces to fix her slightly crooked teeth. This sparked a lot of admiration for the singer, who was more than happy to sport her braces on the Red Carpet and smile openly at photographers. This showed that even celebrities need to take the plunge and get their teeth fixed, and orthodontics can sort out the alignment of the teeth as well as correcting the bite. Gwen Stefani now has beautiful, sparkling white teeth and it is easy to see how this was achieved.

Orthodontics – No Need to Wear Braces Forever

It is a misconception that adults who opt for orthodontics will need to be wearing them for the rest of their lives. With the right specialist dentist, many adults may only need to wear their braces for approximately 18 months, although naturally it does vary with how old you are compared to how misaligned your teeth are. Nevertheless, orthodontics is the way forward and should be considered if you are suffering with dental problems.

Orthodontics – Be Like Your Favourite Celebrity

Since many celebrities have opted for orthodontic treatment, undergoing this treatment yourself is now not an uncommon procedure, and many people are realising just how great their teeth can look when the treatment is complete.

Some are spurred on by the fact their celebrity idols are taking the plunge and undergoing orthodontic treatment, so why not join them? Orthodontics is the best way to fix your teeth.

Orthodontics – Katherine Heigl Used Invisalign

April 29th, 2009

One famous lady has openly admitted to using Invisalign to correct her crooked teeth.

Katherine Heigl, star of “The Ringer” and “27 Dresses”, admitted in 2007 that she had undergone treatment for her crooked teeth and wore Invisalign clear braces in the months before her wedding so she could look super stunning on the day, with perfectly straight teeth.

Orthodontics – Why Invisalign?

Many people hadn’t heard of Invisalign before Katherine Heigl announced she was a patient. However, it is considered to be one of the most revolutionary dental procedures in fixing teeth, due to its discreet clear aligners that can be worn without anyone else knowing your secret! For Katherine Heigl, orthodontics was clearly the best solution for her and she had realised that she had suffered with crooked teeth for long enough.

It is taking the first step in correcting your teeth that many are afraid of, but with Invisalign, the procedure can be so simple and discreet that everyone can experience the benefits. This treatment in orthodontics is the latest thing that people are talking about, because it eliminates the need for traditional old braces that do little for boosting your confidence. With Invisalign, you can change all that.

Orthodontics – Being Discreet Makes It the Celebrity Choice

Perhaps it is the fact that Invisalign is so discreet that it is the celebrity choice. Gone are the days of having unsightly metal wires or bands irritating your mouth and gums – Invisalign is the best choice in orthodontics for the simple fact that it won’t disrupt your lifestyle and be noticeable to others, but it will give you the results you are looking for.

This type of orthodontic treatment requires a specialist dentist, but finding the right one isn’t as hard as you think. Invisalign is the latest in orthodontics that is creating a buzz worldwide. Don’t put off getting your teeth fixed any longer – with Invisalign, the treatment is now simple and effective. It is the clear celebrity choice, so why not make an appointment now?

Orthodontics – The Latest Celebrity Fans

April 29th, 2009

It would seem that more and more people are turning to orthodontics to get their teeth fixed, and this latest celebrity patient list is a clear example of how popular it is.

When you think of orthodontics, you might be thinking of hours in the dentists’ chair and a brace that leaves you looking like you have a mouth full of metal. This is not the case anymore, and some celebrities have taken the plunge and decided to get the help they so desperately need in order to correct their crooked teeth.

Orthodontics – Estelle Wants That Grammy

It was recently announced that soul singer Estelle has undergone orthodontic treatment in advance of the Grammy Awards in 2009, so that she can feel more confident about her appearance when she wins an award. Estelle has reportedly felt self-conscious about her teeth since she was a teenager and has never had the courage to look into the right treatment. Now, as an adult, the treatment will take a little longer, but it shows how preferable this is to receiving an award and having to smile with crooked teeth. Bad, misaligned teeth can make you very embarrassed about your appearance. It doesn’t matter if you are wearing the most stunning dress – showing crooked teeth to everyone can be a real style disaster.

Orthodontics – Miley Cyrus and Her Sparkling Teeth

Some suspect that Hannah Montana star Miley Cyrus has had some orthodontic work done. It is suggested that she has had porcelain veneers on her teeth, which is a very common procedure and one that really does transform your teeth. Even celebrities in their teens are realising the importance of having pearly whites, so it is no surprise that people of all ages are opting for orthodontic treatment.

Orthodontics – Amy Winehouse Realises It Is Time To Change

Another celebrity fan of orthodontic work is Amy Winehouse, who in early 2008 was spotted with better looking teeth. Prior to this, she had been seen with gaps in her mouth suggesting her teeth had fallen out, and many thought she would never do anything about her dental problems. However, soon after, it was noticed that the missing tooth at the front that she was famed for had been replaced, due to the careful work of a specialist dentist. Now, Amy Winehouse has a set of teeth she is proud to show off.

Orthodontics is perfect for anyone with the same problems as above, so there is no need to feel alone – contact a specialist dentist today.

Orthodontics and Adult Braces

April 28th, 2009

Orthodontics often results in wearing braces, but braces aren’t just for kids – more and more adults are embracing braces to get their perfect smile.

Orthodontics is increasingly popular with adults for a variety of reasons – more of us are realising how important a good smile is. Simple things like feeling ashamed of crooked front teeth can lead to a lifetime of photo albums consisting of covered mouths or smile-less shots. Many people who have experienced this feeling long for the day when they can flash a big, white, straight smile at the camera. Orthodontics makes that happen. British patients are fast catching up with their American counterparts, where teeth are seen as crucial in how attractive we are. Big, white, beautiful teeth are not things we are born with – orthodontics help make that happen.

Orthodontics – The Ugly Duckling Effect

But the belief that braces are ugly and worn only be geeky kids has put many self conscious teens and adults off orthodontics. Advances in orthodontics, such as the development of clear braces, or ‘invisalign’ has revolutionised all that. Regardless of whether or not you embrace clear braces, orthodontics has seen something of a comeback since the TV hit Ugly Betty brought braces back into fashion. In the show, the actress uses thick ‘rail track’ metal braces as shorthand to her ‘ugliness’. But that message is changing and more adults are making the decision to straighten their smiles using invisible, or clear, braces.

Investing in your Smile

In America and Canada, it’s common to see children wearing braces – orthodontics is a part of their lives, enabling them to have perfect teeth when they hit their teens. But not everybody gets the orthodontic treatments they need in childhood, and some people’s teeth come through later in life when they feel more self conscious about wearing braces (especially teenagers). But with clear braces, many more adults feel more confident about investing in orthodontics after not feeling 100% happy with their teeth throughout their early life. For some, it isn’t simply about getting the perfect smile – crowded mouths for example can be very painful. And in adulthood there are more events that might trigger our desire to finally address our crooked smiles – when you’re spending so much on a wedding for example, you’ll want to make sure your smile is as wide and beautiful as it can be for your wedding photos.

Clear Braces – Ten Years Younger

April 28th, 2009

Fixing your teeth can take years off your physical appearance as the programme Ten Years Younger has proven time and time again – and thanks to clear braces, you don’t have to compromise on your looks while fixing the problem.

The proliferation of beauty programmes that transform ugly ducklings into overnight swans is probably one of the reasons why more of us are turning to orthodontics and clear braces. Fixing our teeth through cosmetic dentistry, from using clear braces to straighten crooked teeth to fixing veneers is one of the fastest growing industries in the beauty trade. Clear braces have transformed how adults approach getting treatment for crooked teeth as the horror of wearing clunky metal braces is now no longer a necessity, thanks to clear braces.

Clear Braces – Time to Straighten Out

Mouths are the first thing we look at when we meet someone, it’s instinctive when they talk to watch their lips move. Typically when we look at someone are eyes make a triangular sweep from their eyes to their mouth. And if we’re confronted with yellow, crooked, disfigured teeth it can be instantly off putting. But by correcting underlying orthodontic problems using clear braces for example, before turning to veneers or whitening procedures, more of us can find that perfect smile. To think a quick fix set of veneers will be enough to transform your smile is misleading. It’s important you achieve optimum oral health before undertaking cosmetic dentistry if you want to avoid potentially serious problems such as decay or gum disease, and fixing crooked teeth with clear braces is the first step you need to take.

Smile without the Metal

Corrected teeth are easier to care for and clean, and you should consider wearing clear braces as the equivalent of laying the foundations for a house. It needs to be done if you want to build on what you have. If you see a twisted set of yellow teeth, you’ll instantly add ten years or more onto the person’s age. Strong, white teeth represent youth, which might explain our obsession with achieving them. And the development of clear braces means more adults are more open to accepting orthodontic treatments. In fact, many believe opting for straighter teeth with clear braces can help you achieve better job success and more confidence in personal relationships – smiling is the most attractive thing we can do. Smiling makes us look confident, positive, open and appealing. And now thanks to clear braces, you can achieve a better smile without a mouthful of metal.
