Your dentist will put together an individually tailored treatment plan to help transform the aesthetic appearance of your smile and to boost the quality of your oral health at the same time.
Each smile makeover is unique, it will vary from patient to patient as it is adjusted to each individual, this includes the length of the treatment period and procedures involved.
Teeth straightening
Most smile makeovers at the dentist address the misalignment issues of a patient’s teeth. If you are suffering from crooked, wonky or overcrowded teeth then you can speak to your dentist and find out about the different types of braces that are available for creating a beautiful, straight smile. There are different types of fixed braces available for those who have significant and more complicated misalignment problems with their teeth. A fixed brace is the traditional method of orthodontic treatment and is proven for straightening teeth. Traditional orthodontic braces are visible in the mouth and if this is an issue then you can speak to your dentist and find out about discreet alternatives. This may be where the components of the braces are designed to be invisible or the braces may be attached to the back surfaces of your teeth so that they are less visible inside your mouth. If you have minor misalignment issues concerning your teeth then you may wish to speak to your dentist and find out about Invisalign aligners for straightening them.
These are a highly convenient and discreet alternative to traditional orthodontic treatment and can help you achieve a neatly aligned smile in three months up to a year, depending on your dental presentation.
Teeth whitening
Once you have achieved a neatly aligned smile you may wish to speak to your dentist and find out about teeth whitening to help improve your smile further. Teeth whitening procedures can be carried out in the comfort of your own home to help gradually improve the colour and appearance of your smile or they can be carried out at your dental practice for an instant effect. Teeth whitening procedures are designed for addressing extrinsic staining of your teeth. These are stains that affect the enamel of your teeth and the treatment is designed to break down stain molecules to help restore the natural light and shine of your teeth. Whether you choose to carry out the procedure at home or by the dentist, teeth-whitening systems produce great results and will help boost the appearance of your smile. Which treatment you decide on will depend on your dental aims and your desired results so speak to your dentist to find out what options are available for you.
