CLEARCORRECT
We care about your smile, but most importantly about your dental health. Poorly aligned teeth can cause bite functioning issues, can wear out faster and are more prone to cavities.
Nowadays, many adults are choosing new methods to align their teeth and have a healthier smile. Depending on how crowded your teeth are and after analysing your case, you may be suitable to have removable invisible orthodontics called ClearCorrect.
ClearCorrect uses several clear aligners to move the teeth gradually to the right position. Each aligner needs to be worn for two weeks before moving to the next one. In this system, the same as Invisalign, some attachments will be used to create stronger forces on the teeth to move them.
Clear aligners are transparent orthodontic devices made from a special plastic that gradually are used to adjust the position of your teeth.
One of the biggest advantages of removable appliances is the fact that you can take them in and out. Patients enjoy the freedom they offer as they can eat and brush their teeth more comfortably. Not only does this help to maintain good oral health but also they can achieve huge results in minimal time, resulting in a treatment that is more affordable than other orthodontic options.
CROWNS:
We must assess a broken or decayed tooth to evaluate how much sound tooth structure remains. If you have a big broken part of a tooth but the base is sound and above the gum, a crown or full cover ‘cap’ is recommended.
Crowns are made of various materials. Most of them are only porcelain and some are made of metal inside (for strength) or porcelain outside (for aesthetics).
Crowns last many years, usually longer than big fillings. A crown can strengthen your tooth and improve its appearance.
Under anaesthesia, we remove all the weak parts of the tooth structure and make a strong stump that will hold the crown (cap). Then we take a mould, send it to the lab and once it arrives, we bond it on the stump.
The dental care of the crown is very easy and exactly like a normal tooth, just brushing and flossing it regularly.
