Increasing Numbers of People are looking to achieve a Naturally Beautiful Smile-Are You One of Them?

According to the British Orthodontic Society an increasing number of people are looking towards achieving a beautiful, celebrity style smile in the most natural way they can. One of the most popular, and healthy ways to do this is through the use of orthodontic braces. While in the past the use of orthodontic braces used to be confined to people in their teens, nowadays it’s quite different. More people over the age of 25 are choosing to sort out their crooked teeth regardless of whether or not they’re a stay-at-home mum or a highflying businessman. Having a straight set of teeth is becoming far more coveted. Wearing braces is no longer seen as being a stigma, and in any case many of the modern orthodontic systems are nearly invisible or are certainly very discreet. A lot of well-known celebrities have made no secret of their use of these invisible braces and this is encouraging members of the general public to take more interest in having a straight smile.

Leads City Dentalcare is able to help patients seeking straighter teeth through the use of clear braces in Leeds. The surgery offers several different systems depending on your exact needs. Some of these systems can deliver results really quickly, often within just a few months while others may take a little longer depending on the degree of complexity. Some of these systems only concentrate on moving the teeth immediately visible in your smile which is one of the reasons as to why they can act so quickly. This may be all that’s needed for and is certainly an ideal choice for many people. However other popular systems concentrate on other aspects of your smile, and will work to improve the way your teeth meet together. This can be ideal if your teeth are quite crooked, giving improvements that go well beyond cosmetic appearances.

This might be quite an important consideration if you’re interested in improving your oral health, which is something our dentist in Leeds certainly encourages. Straighter teeth are always easier to clean, and if you struggled in the past with flossing and brushing and you’ll probably find your oral health improves once your teeth have been straightened. Another important thing to take into account is that having an abnormal bite or even teeth that are only slightly out of occlusion can affect the wear patterns on your teeth. If your teeth are all in occlusion and bite together normally then they will wear more evenly, and all the stresses of biting and chewing will be spread across your whole jaw. However if your teeth bite together abnormally then some of them are more likely to become worn down. These teeth would also be subjected to heavier biting forces and are far more likely to become fractured or chipped than others.

While many more people are opting for having smile makeovers, incorporating orthodontic treatment will help give you a naturally beautiful celebrity style smile while providing excellent oral health benefits. If you would like to improve your smile then it’s well worth considering one of the modern orthodontic systems available today. Dr David Brown or any of our dentists here in our Leeds surgery will be able to advise you as to which system might be the best for your needs.
