We see a lot of new patients wanting to straigthten their teeth. Many travel from nearby Leicester, Derby or Nottingham. Many others come all the way from Southamptom. A lot of these patients had braces when they were younger but the teeth relapsed into their original position few years later. This happens when retainers are not worn after finishing orthodontic treatment.
We tell all our patients wanting to have their teeth straightened that they have to wear retainers for the rest of their life if they want their teeth to stay straight.
The common questions we get are:
What type of retainers are there?
- removable retainers are clear plastic trays which are similar to the invisalign aligners.
-fixed retainers are a small wire bonded to the back to the back of the teeth
How long to I have to wear them for?
- we advise lifetime wear
why do I have to wear retainers?
during orthodontic treatment, new bone is deposited and the ligament around the teeth is remodelling. Retention allows to stabilise the position of the teeth while the bone matures and the ligament remodels.

I have just got back from the Six Month Smiles/ 6 Month Smiles Course I have organised for UK dentists.
I had a great time and it was great to meet a nice bunch of dentist.
Kal and I managed to get Dr Ryan Swain to come over to Birmingham to train other dentist in Six Month Smiles as we knew that the demand from patients for this type of treatment would be huge. I was really excited to be involved in this project and was so pleased it turned to be a success!
Since 6 Month Smiles is proving so popular with our patients we have fantastic offers in place, so please ring us on 01509 231144 to find out more about this amazing type of treatment

We have been offering the Inman Aligner at our practice for a while and we were proud to be the first practice in Leicester to offer the Inman Aligner.
Since we were the first practice to offer it in our area we have been inundated with patients from all over the Midlands, from Ravenshead to Burton upon Trent.
The Inman aligner is a great way of treating crooked teeth as it straightens teeth quickly and it is hardly noticeable when worn.
The Inman Aligner is a removable brace that can straighten crowded front teeth. We just finished treatment on a patient and the treatment took less than 3 months!
Gone are the days when it would take years to straighten teeth!

The Dental Suite is now able to offer the revolutionary orthodontic treatment, SIX MONTH SMILES. SIX MONTH SMILES has taken the US by a storm and we are proud to be the first dental practice in England to offer it.
SIX MONTH SMILES is a type of teeth straightening treatment and is an alternative to traditional braces and to Invisalign. If you have crowded or spaced teeth and are over 15 years of age and are not looking for major changes in your bite, this type of treatment may be ideal for you.
What makes SIX MONTH SMILES so special? The braces and wires are tooth coloured and therefore hardly noticeable. The treatment times are very short as most cases are usually carried out within 6 to 9 months.
Come and visit us at the Dental Suite in Loughborough.
A beautiful smile is just 6 months away!

Here at the Dental Suite in Loughborough, we have been offering invisible braces for a while now. We offer both Invisalign and Clearstep.
We are one of the first dental practices in Leicestershire that offer Clearstep. Clearstep have recently introduced a new and invisible appliance called CODA, this appliance is very comfortable to wear and noone can see that you are wearing one. The advantage of the CODA is that it speeds up treatment considerably, one CODA carries out the same amounts of movement that 8 aligners would do. The desired movements are achieved in 6-8 weeks, as opposed to aligners which take 16 weeks.
It is a great new invention from Clearstep and we are very pleased to be able to offer this type of treatment to our patients.
