This lovely 26-year-old client came to FIRST Ortho seeking a solution for upper teeth, which were sticking out, and the irregular lower teeth. She wanted straighter teeth but did not want the brace to show at all, as she was an architect supervising a lot of men on building sites. She felt that with her youthful appearance a metal brace would make her feel like a teenager and wanted to present herself with confidence and knowing they were listening to her rather than looking at her brace.

She had protrusion, a deep bite and crowding. These issues affected her confidence.

After a thorough assessment, Dr Patel discussed her options. These being aligners and the lingual Incognito brace. Incognito braces were the option for convenience, comfort, being completely hidden while delivering incredible and exacting results compared to aligners.

Treatment took 16 months

    Amanda came to FIRST Ortho on recommendation from her daughter who also had treatment here.  Amanda has a protrusion of her upper teeth, overcrowding and dark triangles. Her goal was to straighten the misalignment and preserve any teeth that were prone to gum recession.

    Gum recession of often the cause of the dark triangles which appear as we get older.

    Amanda meeting lots of people in her teaching classes. Her confidence was not an issue but as her teeth were getting worse over some time, she wanted to straighten them and improve her smile.

    After speaking to her and learning about her objectives, Dr Patel carried out a detail treatment plan. This involved the loss of teeth. She had beautiful facial proportions which we wanted to preserve. Amanda initially thought this gap would never close! See the video below to see what she thought.

    Amada did not mind fixed steel braces. The initial alignment was rapid as was the space closure. However the deep bite, the detailing of the teeth shape and composite bonding took time.

    Despite the relatively long time, partly affected by the Covid outbreak, it was all worth it for a beautiful and functional result.

    Most memorable moment: How surprised she was on how we managed to close the dark triangles.  I never knew she doubted we could not close the lower gap!

      Simon came to us in his 30’s after undergoing orthodontics with Invisalign. However, he did not like the forward lean of his teeth and its effect on the facial profile. He had already one lower incisor removed as part of the previous treatment.

      There was only one mathematical way to correct the lean of the teeth. It involved the replacement of the lower tooth and the more recognised way of four teeth removal and fixed braces. He opted for ceramic braces for cosmetic reasons.

      We placed a temporary composite bonded tooth in the lower arch prior to his implant. However, he kept this for many years as he liked the result.

      Memorable moment/s: Simon’s option to keep the ‘temporary’ replacement lower tooth for a few years then have an implant.

        It is a very positive outlook for adult males to step forward to undertake orthodontics.

        Here we have James in his early 30’s opting to correcting his teeth which always bothered him.

        The result exceeded his expectations, and mine, as I did not except the open bite to close so well.

        Best of all, made his oral health easier to maintain to a high standard.

        Most Memorable moment/s: James’s video testimonial.

            As orthodontists we can overlook, or underestimate, the value of our work. Probably as we can get engrossed on a technical levels to ensure a result. Then, someone comes over and says something simple, yet profound, that touches on the very essence to the meaning of our work and being. This is Carmen’s story.

            Carmel recently came for a 9 year review. I asked her for a video testimonial and I must say there was a very moving moment which caught me unaware which really underlined the benefit of orthodontics.

            Adult tooth movement is similar to teenagers. It can be affected if teeth have been lost either for previous orthodontics or dental health reasons or reduced bone support. We planned a conservative approach which was a wise decision.

            The orthodontics was completed in 8 months and was very stable 9 years on.

            Most Memorable moment/s: Carmel video testimonial.

              Comments: A remarkable transformation for someone who was clearly very self aware of her smile.

              We worked with specialist periodontist Dr Roula Tsirba and we carried out her teeth alignment and the replacement of her missing lower teeth. The lower teeth were zirconium which allowed thin wings which could be bonded to the adjacent teeth – see image above- which was sandwiched under our bonded retainer. It was a ‘stress broken’ design to absorb small movements of the teeth without breaking the retainer. A very rewarding treatment to undertake and I am sure it ws well received.

              Memorable Moment: From the moment I met her she always smiled and personified contentment. It is a lovely place to be.

                A patient shared his concern about his protruding teeth, which he felt gave him an unwanted pout and made his face appear elongated. As an extroverted healthcare professional, confidence is crucial, but he often felt insecure, especially when receiving comments about his appearance.

                In just three months of treatment with the Damon ULTIMA brace, he noticed significant improvements that enhanced his self-assurance. By the end of the treatment, detailed adjustments were made to perfect the alignment and slope of his teeth, achieving a remarkable transformation in less than a year.

                The Damon ULTIMA brace not only effectively corrected his dental issues but also sported a stylish look he proudly wore. This transformation was accomplished within 11 months, without the loss of any teeth. A testament to the effectiveness of advanced orthodontic solutions by FIRST Ortho and Damon Ultima system.
