Smile of the Month – crooked teeth to confident smile
September’s Smile of the Month fills me with pride – when patients get to the end of their treatment and realise the extent of the transformation, it really is a very special feeling.
Rolly came to us with two aims:
- Achieve a more aesthetically pleasing smile
- Improve his gum health
The root of both these concerns lay in his crooked teeth, which can affect confidence, but also have a negative impact on gum health, which is exactly what was happening with Rolly, with bleeding gums and general discomfort while brushing.
Together, Rolly and I decided that Invisalign was the right option – removable aligners that would gradually straighten his teeth without the need for metal braces.
Invisalign comes with various advantages; not least the fact that it’s easier to maintain your oral hygiene during treatment, because you can remove your aligners to brush and floss.
Over an eight-month period, Rolly wore his aligners consistently, and as his teeth became straighter, his gum health significantly improved, with the spaced between his teeth easier to clean, and his gums no longer bleeding.
Delighted with the result, he decided on a final flourish, with teeth whitening to brighten his teeth up and enhance the overall cosmetic effects of the treatment.
Now Rolly doesn’t experience any of those negative symptoms, and he’s a whole lot more confident in social situations, and has received plenty of compliments about his smile! Find out more about Rolly found his treatment in the video below:
Another successful Invisalign treatment, and another example that you don’t have to just suffer on with a suboptimal situation; there’s always something that can be done to improve things.
If you’re unhappy with your smile, or you’re experiencing painful or bleeding gums, don’t just keep on keeping on – we can help you change it.
