Dr Gordon Matthew at Brite Dental clinic in Paisley has been announced to be a recognized Six Month Smiles provider. He has been straightening patients’ teeth for years and now is able to offer various orthodontic options to suit your dental needs and budget.

What Is Six Month Smiles?

6 month smiles clear braces system is effective, user friendly and fast solution for teeth straightening. Many of the teeth straightening methods on the market take a long time: 1-2 years or so. However, with 6 month smiles, you can get the smile of your dreams in just 6 months.

How does 6 Month Smiles orthodontic system work?

The 6 month smiles clear braces system concentrates only on the teeth that are seen when you smile. So, because these clear braces/aligners do not attempt to make big changes to your bite, they are able to make a noticeable different to your front teeth – and thus to your smile – in just 6 months.

Because of the low forces and the short overall treatment time used, this is one of the most comfortable, safe, and professional options for getting straighter teeth. Moreover, the 6 month smile system delivers some of the most predictable results of any orthodontic system. The incorporation of Six Month Smiles Patient Tray Kits into your treatment programme will ensure that all of your appointments and check-ups are performed in a timely manner.

How noticeable is 6 Month Smiles system?

These braces are designed to be discreet, so you can wear them to work without a worry. They use ceramic aligners and tooth coloured wires so that they are very unobtrusive in your mouth. They can barely be seen when you are talking and smiling at a normal distance from other people, so you can smile with confidence even when you are wearing the braces. And, after 6 months when you remove them, you will have wonderfully straight teeth. This makes 6 Month Smiles one of the most user friendly orthodontic solutions in dentistry market today.

Do not let crooked teeth dent your confidence any longer. Opt for a set of 6 Month Smiles braces and in just 6 months you can have the straight teeth that you have always dreamed of. If that is not a reason to smile all of the time, then we don’t know what is.

Proper oral hygiene is essential for living a healthy and happy life. If you neglect your teeth and oral hygiene, it’s likely that you’ll experience levels of pain, discomfort that will have a significant impact on your daily life and mental well-being.  

In addition, having missing, damaged or cracked teeth can negatively impact our self-confidence and mental well-being, highlighting that oral hygiene is extremely important if we want to create a happy, care-free lifestyle.  

This article looks further into the question of why oral hygiene is important, giving helpful advice, tips and tricks on how to improve your oral hygiene and look after your teeth so they remain in great condition for many years to come.  

How to improve your oral hygiene?

If you would like to have beautiful and healthy teeth throughout your life, we would recommend visiting your dentist every 6 months for a check-up and having your teeth scaled and polished by a professional dental hygienist. 

Another thing that will help keep your smile healthy is reducing your consumption of sugary, salty and acidy foods and drinks. Improving your diet and keeping sugary treats to a minimum (I.e. only once after dinner time) can vastly improve your oral health. 

As a dental clinic, we want you to have the best possible oral health, so here are some more helpful tips to help you improve your oral hygiene: 

• Brush twice a day: Brushing your teeth twice a day is crucial for removing food particles and plaque that can lead to tooth decay and gum disease. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste to thoroughly clean all surfaces of your teeth. 
• Floss daily: Flossing helps remove plaque and food particles from between your teeth, where your toothbrush can’t reach. It’s best to floss before you brush your teeth to help dislodge any debris that might have been caught between your teeth. 
• Use mouthwash: Mouthwash can help kill bacteria and freshen your breath. Look for one that is alcohol-free and contains fluoride. 
• Schedule regular dental check-ups: Regular dental check-ups and cleanings can help catch any potential issues early, before they become more serious. 
• Consider adult orthodontic treatment: If you have crooked or crowded teeth, orthodontic treatment can help straighten your smile and improve your overall oral health. 

Remember, good oral hygiene habits are essential for maintaining a healthy smile. If you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to contact our dental clinic for further advice and guidance. 

The importance of having strong, healthy teeth

We’re told from a young age that we need to brush our teeth regularly and look after our teeth properly, but why are teeth so important?  

You may think you know the answer; Without healthy teeth, we cannot chew and eat the foods that we love. However, whilst this is certainly one reason why teeth are important, it isn’t the only answer! 

Teeth also play a vital role in many other areas, including speech, facial structure and our physical appearance. In addition, without a healthy, attractive smile our self-confidence may suffer and our mental well-being can take a hit.  

There are several reasons why teeth are important, including:  

• Chewing: Teeth play a crucial role in chewing and breaking down food into smaller pieces, which makes it easier for our bodies to digest. 
• Speech: Without a full set of teeth, it can be difficult to form words and sounds properly. 
• Appearance: Teeth are a prominent facial feature and can significantly impact our overall appearance and self-confidence. 
• Supporting facial structure: Teeth help support our facial structure and prevent our cheeks and lips from collapsing. 
• Protecting gums and jawbone: Teeth provide protection for our gums and jawbone by evenly distributing the force of our bite and preventing damage from occuring.  
• Maintaining overall health: Good oral health is linked to overall health, so by keeping our teeth healthy and clean, we can actually help prevent serious health conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. 
• Digestive health: Teeth play a critical role in the digestive process, as they help break down food so that it can be absorbed and used by our bodies. 
• Preventing tooth decay and gum disease: Regular brushing and flossing can help prevent tooth decay and gum disease, which can cause pain, discomfort, and potentially lead to tooth loss. 

As we can see, keeping on top of our oral health and ensuring our teeth are clean, healthy and happy will have a positive impact on our overall well-being.  

Not only will healthy teeth help us maintain a good level of physical health but they will also improve our appearance and with it, ensure a good level of self-confidence and mental well-being.  

Top tips for Looking after your teeth correctly

It is vital to get into a regular habit of cleaning your teeth if you wish to maintain a good level of oral hygiene. We recommend brushing your teeth at least twice a day for 2 minutes at a time.  

Whilst you don’t need to buy expensive toothpaste to make your teeth healthy, you do need to make sure that your toothpaste has fluoride in it. Regularly change your toothbrush every 3 to 4 months. If you use an electric toothbrush. change the heads at the same rate. Make sure to brush either before or an hour after eating or drinking acidy drinks such as juice or wine in order to prevent teeth erosion.  

We also strongly recommend flossing regularly, as brushing on its own will not fully clean the teeth and gums. Without flossing, plaque buildup or stray food particles will be left between teeth.  

Some additional tips for looking after your teeth include: 

• Eat a healthy diet 
• Don’t smoke or use tobacco 
• Consider getting dental sealants 
• Be mindful of teeth grinding 
• Visit your dentist regularly  

The last point is one we cannot stress enough. Even with a great level of oral hygiene, serious issues can still be missed if you neglect visiting a professional dental clinic.  

Having a dental check-up every 6 months will allow your dentist to spot any emerging issues and deal with them before they turn into a serious problem. If you find that cosmetic dentistry treatments are needed, remember we offer a fantastic dental finance plan that helps make necessary treatments more affordable. 

Why not get ahead of the game and book your next dental checkup today via the Brite Dental website?  

That way, you can relax knowing that your teeth will be checked, monitored and evaluated by a professional, giving you peace of mind that any pesky issues will be dealt with quickly, efficiently and effectively.

Why Choose Tooth Whitening Treatment?

Teeth tend to go darker as we age due to smoking, eating coloured foods or drinking coloured drinks such as blackcurrant juice, red wine, tea and coffee. Some people tend to have more unevenly coloured or naturally greyer teeth than others.

Fortunately, tooth whitening can greatly lighten the colour of your natural teeth without damaging it. Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dentistry treatment than can make your smile look natural or sparkling white.
