One of the dental laboratory’s we use is a registered supplier of  the OrthoApnea appliance in the UK.  We have to send impressions to the laboratory for the anti snoring appliance to be made, this takes 2 weeks.

“I wear the OrthoApnea every night and find it comfortable to wear.  The snoring has totally stopped and I am very happy as I can now have a good nights sleep.”

The patient decided to go ahead with 6 months smile for the upper and lower teeth.  The treatment took around 8 months from having the brace fitted to it been removed.

Below are pictures of before, during and after treatment.

“The 6 Months Smile treatment has given me more confidence in life, I smile on all photo’s which I did’nt do before.

The treatment I recieved from Mr Somal has been 1st class from start to finish.  I would recommend this practice and treatment to anyone.  Thank you.”

                                                             Before treatment

I had wanted something done with my teeth for a long time and had discussed different options with the dentists at the practice to correct my problem. The options that was given to me were braces or cosmetic veneers.

After discussing my options with Mr Somal I found that 6 Months Smile was my best option because of the length of time the treatment takes.

I had the brace fitted in April 2010, the first week was a little sore and difficult to get used to.  After the first week I became a lot more comfortable with them.  I had to keep coming in once a month to have the wires changed.

The braces were taken off in September 2010 and i was amazed at the end result even though I could see the teeth moving throughout the treatment.  Lots of people have noticed a difference in my smile.  I feel much more confident about smiling now.

After the treatment I decided to do the home teeth whitening.  That involved getting whitening trays made and applying the whitening gel to the trays every night for 2 weeks and sleeping with the trays in overnight.  I experienced a little bit of sensitivity but once I finished the treatment my smile was extremely white.

The service has been fantastic, Mr Somal was really helpful and put me at ease throughout the treatment.

Now have a look at the following picture’s, did you guess where the fillings were?

These second picture illustrates the patients teeth before the fillings were replaced.  In picture 1 the patient has had direct composite fillings placed on the upper left lateral and canine teeth to improve the appearance.  As you can see the fillings have made a large improvement to the individuals smile.

As you can see in picture 2 the patients upper right lateral tooth was darker than the rest of the teeth so a direct composite filling was placed over the tooth.

Recently a patient came to me with worn down teeth and asked if anything could be done to improve his smile.

I was able to start building up some of his front teeth, allowing his teeth to be better protected but also it improved the smile.

Worn down teeth make your smile look older and one way of actually creating a more youthful smile is to lengthen teeth to their original length.

Hence the pts comment that this was similar to getting hair extensions on his teeth!

Just remember like hair extensions there has to be something there to fix the extension too so don’t delay act now before its too late!
