			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Straightening out the teeth of patients is not simply a concern for people who are worried about the look of their crooked smile.  There are also implications for <a title="oral hygiene" href="http://www.bakerstreetdental.com/london_dental_services/london_dentist_hygienist.htm">oral hygiene</a> too as a misaligned bit can lead to tooth grinding, not to mention the possibility of cavities if teeth are too bunched up to be able to be cleaned properly.  Of the options on offer for patients who need their teeth straightened, Inman aligners offer something unique and enticing.</p>
<p>Instead of relying on a whole system of metal brackets and wires, like the traditional metal brace, Inman essentially has just two working parts.  This means that it cannot deal with the complex array of teeth rotations and such like that metal <a title="braces" href="http://www.bakerstreetdental.com/london_dental_services/london_dentist_tooth_orthodontics.htm">braces</a> can, but they are very effective at sorting out minor alignment issues.</p>
<p>The two parts of Inman aligners are a coiled spring which is placed behind the front teeth and a straightening bar which runs across the front teeth.  The spring pushes the teeth against the bar, moving them into a straightened position.  This can usually be achieved in about six month’s time, which is likely to be more popular than the eighteen months to two years which wearers often require with traditional metal braces.</p>
<p>If you are concerned about the alignment of your smile, you should ask your London dentist about the Inman aligner.  They are convenient and comfortable to wear as well as being very discreet.  As an added bonus, they are completely removable.  For the purposes of cleaning your mouth this is handy and also means that social occasions can still be undertaken with considerable ease.</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When it comes to choosing <a title="braces" href="http://www.bakerstreetdental.com/london_dental_services/london_dentist_tooth_orthodontics.htm">braces</a> in London, a lot of what influences your decision can come down to price. Also, everyone is different and have different needs. Certain aligning treatments may suit one person, but not another. There are a lot to choose from as well, but generally, they are split into two categories, fixed or removable. Fixed metal braces tend to get bad press, because of their very nature. From a vanity angle, they can tend to look unsightly in the mouth and they tend to take a lot longer to correct the teeth than some of the more radical braces on the market. They are also a lot harder to clean, which can lead to problems such as a build up of bacteria in the mouth that leads to tooth decay- so you have to be extra attentive when wearing them. But they have not lasted the test of time for no reason, they are a method of tooth correction which works efficiently and are cheaper than most of the alternatives on the market. However, our friends, the Americans, are obsessed with aligners and have come up with some amazing methods of <a title="teeth straightening" href="http://www.bakerstreetdental.com/london_dental_services/london_dentist_tooth_orthodontics.htm">teeth straightening</a> that are flooding the British market right now. Imagine the complete opposite of fixed metal braces and you arrive at <a title="Invisalign" href="http://www.bakerstreetdental.com/london_dental_services/london_dentist_invisalign.htm">Invisalign</a>. It’s not going to be suitable for everyone and it’s quite pricey, but if you fit the bill and can afford it, MY! How it works!! For a start, treatment times are a third of that associated with most fixed braces. It’s a transparent, <a title="gums" href="http://www.bakerstreetdental.com/london_dental_services/london_dentist_gum_contouring.htm">gums</a>-shield styled, aligner and barely visible when fitted, but the greatest quality of all, is that it can be taken out at any time for eating and <a title="brushing" href="http://www.bakerstreetdental.com/london_dental_services/london_dentist_hygienist.htm">brushing</a>. In the end, only you can decide what’s best for you and this can come down to when, where and how these treatments will fit into your life, but it’s always best to do your homework first before making a choice.</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Getting your teeth straightened out into a smile of which you can be proud, no longer requires the wearing of a metal brace for several years.  There is an incredible new product that is available and being widely used by United Kingdom dentists that straightens teeth quickly and efficiently and, best of all, in a far more discreet fashion that traditional metal <a title="braces" href="http://www.bakerstreetdental.com/london_dental_services/london_dentist_tooth_orthodontics.htm">braces</a> can.</p>
<p>It is called the Inman aligner and it works far quicker than traditional braces.  The average treatment time is an amazing six months, compared with two years for metal braces.  The only visible part of an Inman aligner is a single metal bar running across the front teeth, far more preferable than all the metal brackets and wires that make up a traditional brace.</p>
<p>The fact that Inman aligners are completely removable too is a huge bonus for those who hate the thought of all the food getting stuck in the workings of a traditional metal brace.  After you have eaten, you can simply take your Inman aligner out to clean it and your teeth effectively and without the need to worry about food being trapped for the rest of the day.</p>
<p>So how do Inman aligners work?  They use the power of a coiled spring which is quite concealed from view yet works effectively to push the teeth gently against the straightening bar at the front of the mouth.  Small alignment issues are easily dealt with and your teeth can be straightened perfectly by Inman aligners.  Rotating of teeth, however, is not possible with an Inman aligner.</p>
<p>They are surprisingly affordable as well, roughly the same as most orthodontic treatments.  So don’t hesitate to ask your London dentist about Inman aligners and what they can do for you.</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Cosmetic dentistry encompasses a wide variety of procedures which can be carried out to improve the look of your smile.  Many people simply live with an imperfection in their teeth but there is no need when cosmetic dentistry procedures are so widely available and often far more affordable than one might think.</p>
<p>Example of cosmetic dentistry procedures include things like porcelain <a title="crowns" href="http://www.bakerstreetdental.com/london_dental_services/london_dentist_crowns.htm">crowns</a> and <a title="veneers" href="http://www.bakerstreetdental.com/london_dental_services/london_dentist_tooth_veneers.htm">veneers</a> which are used to cover up teeth which are cracked, chipped or even stained.  Not just cosmetic though, these examples actually help improve the functions of the mouth too.</p>
<p>Teeth whitening is another type of cosmetic dentistry and can be carried out in the surgery with your dentist in charge or by using an over the counter kit purchased from a super market or a pharmacy.  Some of these methods are able to restore teeth to the brightest possible level of whiteness.</p>
<p>Cosmetic dentistry also covers things like the wide variety of different <a title="braces" href="http://www.bakerstreetdental.com/london_dental_services/london_dentist_tooth_orthodontics.htm">braces</a> and aligners which are now on the market and can be used to straighten misaligned, crooked, or over crowded teeth.  Some of these products are extremely discreet, a vast improvement on the traditional metal brace.</p>
<p>Many of these procedures can be carried out with incredible speed these days thanks to advances in technology, such as <a title="CEREC" href="http://www.bakerstreetdental.com/london_dental_services/london_dentist_cerec.htm">CEREC</a>.  Digital x-rays are cutting down waiting times and reducing the need for repeat visits to the surgery.  An added bonus is that this actually means that many of the costs of these treatments are actually reduced because the lab fees to develop x-rays are eliminated.</p>
<p>If you are not happy with a certain aspect of your smile then you should make an appointment to see your Central London dentist and discuss the various cosmetic dentistry procedures on offer.</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you consider you have an ‘ugly’ smile in the city of London, you don’t have to resign yourself that you have it for life, because there are treatments available to get your teeth fixed, whatever your age. One such imported treatment from the U.S is called the 6 months smile designed to cure overcrowding teeth, gaps, teeth that stick out and teeth that do not meet when you bite. And it’s as quick as it says in the title. Initially, the dentist will assess your smile with x-rays and photographs and decide if you are suitable for the treatment. Once you have cleared this hurdle, you will be fitted with the brace that is tailor made back in the States, consisting of small white brackets and special, unobtrusive wires to hold everything in place. As the treatment develops, you will visit the dentist once a month for adjustments and monitoring until the treatment is finished. The advantage of this treatment, other than the time, allows you to plan around any major events that you may have coming up in your calendar and even more attractive is the price. It comes in a lot cheaper than other treatments and in half the time, but then, can you put a price on looking good and smiling with confidence?</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some of us may have missed the boat in London when it came to getting our teeth fixed at an early age and may well have resigned ourselves that we are stuck with those rather crooked teeth- and stubbornly, we certainly don’t want to indulge in any long term <a title="teeth straightening" href="http://www.bakerstreetdental.com/london_dental_services/london_dentist_tooth_orthodontics.htm">teeth straightening</a> treatments in later life. But my friends, never fear, the Inman aligner is here! This little tailored for you beauty can straighten those buck front teeth in as little as 6-weeks! Because of its unique mechanics, it can only fix the upper and lower front teeth, but my, how it fixes them. Whilst a small wire pulls on the outside of the teeth, a bar, activated by a spring, reverses the pressure on the inside of the teeth. This pull-me, push-you affect gently rocks the teeth back in alignment in keeping with the rest of the mouth very effectively and quickly. But the beauty of this device doesn’t stop here. It should be worn for at least, 20 hours a day, but the aligner can be removed, making it easier to eat, clean the teeth and socialise. Like any brace, it can cause initial problems with speech, but the mouth will adjust to any discomfort. If you’re in a hurry and you fit the bill, this is the device for you. At around £1500, the Inman is not exactly cheap, but the benefits far out-weigh the cost.</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For many years orthodontic practice relied on metal <a title="braces" href="http://www.bakerstreetdental.com/london_dental_services/london_dentist_tooth_orthodontics.htm">braces</a> to correct misaligned and crooked teeth.  The metal brackets and wires are effective but can easily trap food, be uncomfortable and lead to the wearer feeling embarrassed by the appearance of their smile.  Being able to wear a brace that is virtually invisible is no longer a pipe dream thanks to the incredible new <a title="Invisalign" href="http://www.bakerstreetdental.com/london_dental_services/london_dentist_invisalign.htm">Invisalign</a> brace.</p>
<p>Harnessing the latest in 3D imaging software, dentists can now offer Invisalign braces which are virtually see through, allowing you to smile with confidence while your teeth are being straightened.  Invisalign braces move your teeth gradually over time and are sculpted especially to fit in your mouth.  They need to be worn for about twenty two hours a day but they are removable, which makes cleaning so much easier, not to mention eating and drinking itself.</p>
<p>Regular meetings with your dentist are required during the treatment so that you can be provided with replacement Invisalign braces.  This is necessary because the shape of your bite will change as the Invisalign braces work and new ones will be required as your teeth move into the required positions.</p>
<p>The benefits of Invisalign braces are obvious: they give a better look to your mouth than metal braces, they are completely removable and much more comfortable because they do away with the process of having wires which need to be tightened.  Ask your Central London dentists if they are registered with Invisalign and can provide you with their amazing see-through braces.</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Having your teeth straightened in the past was a lengthy process that obscured your mouth behind unsightly metal brackets and wires, sometimes for as long as several years.  There is now a new product that can give you stunningly straight teeth in just weeks.  What’s more, it is virtually invisible and allows you to smile with confidence while it is working on your teeth.</p>
<p>The Inman aligner treatment can be complete in as little as six weeks with an average time of less than six months.  It is completely removable, a major improvement on traditional <a title="braces" href="http://www.bakerstreetdental.com/london_dental_services/london_dentist_tooth_orthodontics.htm">braces</a> which could often trap food and be difficult to clean.  Inman aligners can also be taken out for social occasions if you feel that it will boost your self-confidence to do so.</p>
<p>The only part of Inman that is at all visible is a discreet bar that goes across your front teeth.  The real workings of Inman sit inside your mouth in the form of a coiled spring which gently pushes your teeth out into a straight line against the straightening bar at the front of the mouth.  Small alignment issues are easily dealt with by Inman but it cannot do the more difficult job of actually rotating teeth.</p>
<p>Even though Inman can be so much faster than traditional braces, it is roughly the same cost as many other orthodontic treatments.  Ask your City of London dentist about how this revolutionary product can discreetly and quickly rectify your problems with misaligned teeth.</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="Braces" href="http://www.bakerstreetdental.com/london_dental_services/london_dentist_tooth_orthodontics.htm">Braces</a>- for some they can look ungainly, create problems when eating and can single you out for mockery for years, especially in the school play ground. They can also cause <a title="gum disease" href="http://www.bakerstreetdental.com/london_dental_services/london_dentist_hygienist.htm">gum disease</a>, so keeping an eye on <a title="oral hygiene" href="http://www.bakerstreetdental.com/london_dental_services/london_dentist_hygienist.htm">oral hygiene</a> is a must. Not the most inviting of reasons to have them then, you may think. But ask any dentist in London- braces are an essential procedure in teeth growth, rectifying the misalignment between teeth and bite, straightening teeth and once removed, you have a cosmetically pleasing smile. Each mouth is different and the level of work required can affect the choice of brace suitable for the treatment. X-rays, digital photographs and impressions are taken to determine the work required. Teeth can often be extracted to make room for movement before the fitting of the braces and once in, it may take some time to get used to them, initially causing problems and reactions in the mouth. Cosmetically, there are many systems to choose from, depending on what your level of straightening is required. They start from the basic, train track silver fittings to gold, ceramic, sapphire and <a title="Invisalign" href="http://www.bakerstreetdental.com/london_dental_services/london_dentist_invisalign.htm">Invisalign</a> (clear and invisible), depending on your requirements for vanity. Also available are Inman aligners that straighten front teeth only. If the braces are permanent, oral hygiene is of the utmost importance and dedicated brushes are on the market for this job.</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Six Month Smile <a title="braces" href="http://www.bakerstreetdental.com/london_dental_services/london_dentist_tooth_orthodontics.htm">braces</a> are a revolutionary new form of orthodontic straightening device that combines proven and traditional straightening methods with new materials and techniques to produce stunning results in just six months. For many years, orthodontic straightening was dominated by the fixed metal brace, which though effective had many obvious and unpleasant side effects. These ranged from the aesthetic impact to the irritation they often caused and painful tightening appointments.</p>
<p>Six Month Smile treatments are based on tried and tested methods but they have made improvements that have significantly improved the treatment. Most obviously is the time factor. Traditional braces could take as long as three years to be fully effective. This treatment time has been slashed by the Six Month brace. Six Month braces have also improved on the aesthetic appearance of braces, using clear and white coloured plastic and ceramic materials to make the brackets and wires. They are also smaller and so look a lot less intrusive in the mouth.</p>
<p>The brace also uses a lower level of force which means they are not as painful and don’t require as many tightening appointments. The reason Six Month is able to achieve all this is because they focus their attention on the parts of the dental arc that can be seen when smiling. This makes them perfect for teenagers and young professionals keen to put the finishing touches to their smiles. For more information, make an appointment to see a City of London dentist. They can provide you with more details about how the braces work and give you some idea of your suitability and cost.</p>
<p>See for yourself how far brace technology has come with the Six Month Smile brace from a City of London dentist.</p>]]></content:encoded>
