OrthoWorld PLC is the first UK organisation to
acquire and launch sophisticated, state-of-the-art orthodontic centres
throughout the UK.
Historically
orthdontic practices have been run by individuals or groups of
partners. OrthoWorld is consolidating its professionals by pooling and
upgrading its practices. The emphasis is on orthodontic excellence.
Gone is the old image of shabby surroundings and surgeries operating
outdated equipment.
The new
corporate practices offer benefits of stylish surroundings; friendly
well-trained staff, and the most modern equipment and management
systems. These practices are run by highly motivated specialist
orthodontists.
Teeth Whitening
Everyday life takes its toll on our teeth. Drinking
too much tea or coffee, smoking or even eating strongly coloured foods
can stain and discolour them. There are toothpastes available which
will help remove these stains, but they can't change the actual colour
of the tooth underneath.
The
colour of your teeth is determined by your DNA, just like the colour of
your hair or your eyes. As we get older, the dentine - the soft, pulpy
substance below the enamel that protects the nerves and the blood
supply to the tooth - changes colour, becoming more yellow. This is
something which a stain-removing toothpaste alone cannot help.
Dentists
can, though. By applying a bleaching agent to the teeth, they can
whiten the teeth, giving you a sparkly white smile. This procedure is
simple, harmless and practically painless.
It
is important, though, to do it under your dentist's supervision. Don't
be tempted to buy kits over the counter or on the Internet. Not only
are they not made to fit your mouth exactly, it may be that bleaching
isn't suitable for you, especially if you have gum disease or crowns.
