Someone asked me the other day if they could have straight teeth like mine. I didn’t give it much thought at the time, and went through all the different orthodontic treatment options available at Artiste Studios in order to straighten teeth and which option might be most suitable for their particular case. Now, sitting down and going over what the patient said, I started looking back and remembering my elementary school pictures. My teeth didn’t always look like this.

I had always had straight teeth when I was a child and never my parents thought that I would have to wear braces until my dentist pointed out that the little pointy teeth that had come through to replace my front baby lateral teeth (the ones on either side of the front incisor teeth) would stay that shape and size and the spaces would not close on their own. He described the condition as having conoid laterals. Conoid teeth are shapped in a more pointy inverted cone manner and are not aestehtically pleasing since they leave gaps where tooth structure of a normal tooth shape should be.

The virtually invisible way to straighten teeth

Braces have come a long way since you or your mates had train tracks placed on wonky, protruding teeth during adolescence. Some even had the whole head gear and elastics look that was much cause for ridicule. Now imagine being able to get a straight, Hollywood smile, without anyone even noticing you were in treatment? Instead of locking your lips and hiding unsightly metal brackets and wires, you can speak freely and smile as much as you dare with the confidence that you never imagined possible, all while wearing braces.

You may have already heard of this revolutionary orthodontic method in the media since many are the Hollywood stars and International Super models that have corrected their signature grins with Invisalign. But we don’t have to go as far as celebrities to evaluate the incredible results these virtually invisible aligners can achieve, actually, your work colleague is probably wearing their aligners right this very moment!

No more metal and not hard bits? No way!

The word dentures alone, makes anyone cringe. The thought of having this non aesthetic, uncomfortable hard plastic and metal, poorly adapted, constantly traumatising soft tissue and neighbouring teeth, vicariously sitting in one’s mouth, is not a very motivational one.  New innovative materials have been able to revolutionise this horrific image and restore smiles without causing any further distress of what one already feels due to having lost or extracted teeth.
