Invisalign Hemel Hempstead right now? When patients decide to go ahead with fixed ceramic braces at our Hemel Hempstead dental practice, they can relax safe in the knowledge that they are in the very best hands. Your dentist will begin by carefully and securely attaching individual ceramic brackets to the front of each tooth on the arch to be straightened (this could be the top teeth, bottom teeth or both). The ceramic brackets will be either clear or white. A thin wire is then used to connect each bracket, which is usually a light metal or tooth coloured, again designed to blend into the teeth. Finally, the wire is attached to the brackets using small elastic bands, known as ligatures, which are usually the same colour as the brackets too. Discover even more info at emergencies. If you’re interested to find out if a dental implant is a suitable treatment for you, one of our experienced clinicians will carry out a full assessment in order to make a recommendation about the most suitable course of action. This includes deciding whether a bone graft may be necessary prior to, or at the same time, as the implant treatment. Using our in-house CBCT scanner, we can accurately assess your jaw bone without you having to travel to London for these scans. Your dentist will also discuss the procedure with you and answer any questions you may have, as well as giving you plenty of time to decide if this is the right treatment for you.

Using clear, custom-made trays, Invisalign gently moves the teeth into the desired position, creating the smile you have always wanted. By moulding each tray to exactly fit your mouth, this transparent straightening system fits snugly over the teeth, barely detectable by others, even when having a face-to-face conversation. Many patients also really like the fact that the trays are removable, so although we recommend they are worn for the majority of the time, they can be taken out for eating, cleaning and important events.

The best dental advice ? Limit intake of sodas and alcohol! Tobacco for one, is something you should run away from. Avoiding this can save you from some periodontal complications such as oral cancer. Furthermore, stuff that you will take to mask the smell of tobacco such as sweets, tea or coffee will just end of doubling the damage to your teeth already caused by the tobacco. You should also limit your intake of soda and alcohol. These contain phosphorus, which is an important mineral for a healthy. But too much of everything is bad and this applies to phosphorus too. Too much of it can deplete the calcium level of the body, causing dental hygiene problems such as tooth decay and gum disease.
