Facial aesthetics in Uppingham

Not everyone is happy with what they see in the mirror each morning. Sometimes just a subtle change can make all the difference. At Market Place Dental Practice we offer facial aesthetic treatments to rejuvenate your appearance to bring back your smile.

Anti-wrinkle Injections

The toxin is known to help your body ‘naturally’ retrain itself to help further reduce such things as frown lines. When injected with the toxin, the muscles are temporarily immobilised which means that you will not be using those muscles that form the face into a frown. As a pleasant side effect of this, tension headaches and migraines will be reduced as well. These are benefits that you will receive at the hands of a renowned Facial Aesthetics Nurse.

After an initial consultation, you will be set an appointment for your anti-ageing injections. The actual ‘procedure’ only takes about five minutes. Continuing the example of relaxing the frown lines, your practitioner will ask you to frown so that she can assess your muscle activity and depth of lines produced.

It takes up to 14 days days for the toxin to become effective and at this time you will notice that it is getting increasingly hard to frown. After a period of two to three weeks those muscles will be ‘asleep’ and frowning will be, for all intents and purposes, a thing of the past. Most people frown without even noticing they are frowning, so anti-wrinkle treatments help to correct this inadvertent reflex. The process works in the same way for all the other conditions.

Dermal Filler Injections

When injected with a very fine needle into the crease line, the gel creates volume under the wrinkles, lifting up and smoothing out lines. As we get older our skin loses moisture, and we see lines and wrinkles develop. Hyaluronic Acid is the substance naturally present in our cells which keeps the skin smooth and supple, along with collagen and elastin. An injection of Hyaluronic Acid can restore skin volume and reduce wrinkles. The gel breaks down naturally over a period of 5 to 12 months.

The Dermal fillers we offer are all of non-animal origin, requiring no skin test prior to injection. So it is possible to go ahead immediately in the same session as your consultation. You will see the results instantly.

Facial Aesthetics FAQ's

What is the Invisalign system?

Invisalign clear aligners are a virtually invisible way to straighten your teeth and achieve the smile you’ve always dreamed of. Using advanced 3D computer-imaging technology, we can plan your complete Invisalign treatment based on your dentist’s prescription, from the initial position of your teeth to the final desired position.

Then a series of Invisalign clear aligners are custom-made for your teeth – and your teeth only – to move them little by little. Each aligner is worn for 1-2 weeks before being replaced by the next in the series, gradually moving towards the projected final position. Your Invisalign treatment time will be determined by your dentist, based on your specific needs.

What are the benefits of the Invisalign system?

Invisalign clear aligners are nearly invisible. No one may even notice that you’re wearing these virtually invisible aligners, making Invisalign treatment a seamless fit with your lifestyle and day-to-day interactions with others.

Invisalign clear aligners are removable giving you the flexibility to eat and drink what you want during treatment. You can also remove the aligners to brush and floss as you normally would for fresh breath and to maintain good oral hygiene.

Unlike traditional fixed dental braces, there are no metal brackets or wires. This means that in most cases, less time is spent at the dentist for adjustments.

Advanced 3D computer-imaging technology allows you to view your virtual results (ask about our FREE Smile Visualisation) and receive a detailed treatment plan so you can see how your teeth are expected to look when your treatment is complete.

Is this a new way to straighten teeth?

Dentists and orthodontists have successfully used removable appliances for years. However, with the application of Align Technology’s 3D computer technology and aligner customisation, Invisalign clear aligners can be used to treat a wide range of patients who want straighter teeth. The unique ClinCheck® software allows patients to see their treatment plan from beginning to end even before the start of treatment.

How many patients are being treated with Invisalign clear aligners?

More than 6 million patients worldwide have been treated with Invisalign clear aligners but the number of Invisalign patients (and new smiles) grows daily!

How much does Invisalign treatment cost?

As with other types of orthodontic treatment, the cost of Invisalign clear aligners is dependent upon the complexity of your teeth straightening and your course of treatment. As a general rule, the cost is comparable to traditional fixed braces.

In simple terms, the more complex your teeth straightening, the more Invisalign aligners are needed to achieve your best smile. Conversely, the less complex the straightening, the less Invisalign aligners are needed. Consequently, based on the number of Invisalign aligners your dentist prescribes as needed, the price goes up or down accordingly.

How does the Invisalign clear aligner system work?

Invisalign clear aligners move teeth with an appropriate placement of controlled movement on the teeth. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign treatment not only controls the amount of movement per aligner, but also the timing of the movement. So at each stage, only certain teeth are allowed to move, as per the treatment plan for that particular stage. This results in an efficient force delivery system that moves teeth into the desired prescribed position.

What are Invisalign aligners made of and what do they look like?

The virtually invisible Invisalign clear aligners are made of strong medical grade thermoplastic material, uniquely developed specifically for the Invisalign treatment system. The aligners are custom-made for you and fit snugly over your teeth.

What is the minimum age of a patient that can be treated with Invisalign aligners?

With experience, an Invisalign dentist or orthodontist can use Invisalign clear aligners to treat malocclusion for a majority of adults and adolescents who want a better smile. For teenagers, talk to your Invisalign Provider to see if Invisalign Teen may be the right treatment option for your child.

How often must I see my dentist once I have started Invisalign treatment?

Invisalign appointment intervals are generally the same as with traditional braces but can be much quicker with less time spent in the dentists’ or orthodontists’ chair during appointments as no adjustments need to be made to wires/brackets. Patients typically visit their Invisalign dentist every 4 to 6 weeks to ensure the treatment is progressing as planned and to receive their next few sets of Invisalign aligners.  Your Invisalign dentist or orthodontist will decide based on your treatment.

How long does Invisalign treatment take?

The total duration of treatment depends on the complexity of the treatment and is generally comparable to that of traditional braces. Typically treatment can last between 3 and 18 months. During your consultation, your Invisalign dentist or orthodontist can provide you with more detailed information.

Is the Invisalign treatment painful?

Some people may experience temporary, minor discomfort for a few days, at the beginning of each new stage of treatment when they insert a new Invisalign aligner. This is normal and is typically described as a feeling of pressure. It is a sign that the aligners are working – moving your teeth gradually, helping you to achieve the final results. This discomfort typically goes away in a couple of days.

Does the Invisalign system work on overbites?

An Invisalign dentist or orthodontist can use Invisalign clear aligners to treat overbites in the vast majority of adults and adolescents. Consult your Invisalign dentist or orthodontist to determine whether Invisalign treatment is suitable for you. Are there certain dental conditions that automatically exclude someone from being an eligible patient? Only your Invisalign dentist or orthodontist can determine if you are a good candidate for Invisalign treatment.

Can Invisalign treatment close gaps?

Yes. Spaces between teeth are generally easy to close with Invisalign clear aligners. Your Invisalign dentist can determine whether Invisalign treatment is suitable for your teeth straightening and if this will close any gaps.  Your Invisalign Smile Visualisation will enable you to see how your new smile will look after treatment.

Will TMJ affect Invisalign treatment?

TMJ refers to the temporomandibular (jaw) joint. People with a TMJ condition can have a number of problems with the jaw joint, some of which can be aggravated by appliances and treatments like Invisalign clear aligners, and some which can improve, remain the same or even cause the condition to deteriorate.To find out if your TMJ problem will adversely impact treatment, please book an appointment to consult your Invisalign dentist.
