Aesthetic Dentistry Awards 2018

 

Well it’s that time of year again, we were eagerly waiting on an email from the organisers of the Aesthetic Dentistry Awards on whether or not we would be finalists in the categories we had entered.

We sent in all our entries last December, the criteria was of high standard and our results were pretty hard to pick from. We had some great results in 2017 but we had to pick the most outstanding patients with the most dramatic results.

There are 21 award categories in total, we are finalists in the following:

Orthodontics – Adult fixed

Orthodontics – Child/Teenager fixed

Orthodontics – Invisalign

Interdisciplinary Team

Best Aesthetic Practice

Patient Choice Award

For all the categories we submitted patient photos before/after treatment, patient notes, treatment plans, procedures, practice photos, team photos and testimonials from our patients. We have had a lot of hard working patients that attend the practice and they have achieved amazing results the photographs speak for themselves. We really enjoyed putting these entries together because we could reflect on the great work we achieved in 2017. All of the patients we made happier and more confident in their new smiles.

The Aesthetic Dentistry Awards is a fantastic ceremony recognising excellence in Dentistry. It is a great night to celebrate all the hard work and great results we had that year.  Seven of the Swords Ortho team are all setting out to London on the 23rd of March. We are obviously delighted to be finalists but it would be amazing to bring home an award. We will keep you updated on the nights events. Wish us luck, we are hoping 2018 is our year.

What's the oldest you can be and still have orthodontic braces?

I did an adjustment for a patient’s braces today.

He’s 67.

I don’t think he’s my oldest patient ever but I think he’s the oldest currently in treatment with me (though he’ll be finishing soon, I expect).

Basically if you have healthy teeth and gums and want something fixed that needs orthodontics, we’d be happy to do it. If the teeth and gums aren’t healthy then we’ll advise what needs to be done and work with your dentist to achieve the best outcome.

About 1/3 of my patients are adults.

Ten Years After

Had a patient today who come back for new retainers 10 years after the end of her treatment.

Her lower retainer was cracked but otherwise both upper and lower were in remarkably good condition.

The alignment of her teeth had maintained nicely, I was delighted with this and it would be great if we could get some photos to show

  1. the alignment before treatment,
  2. just after treatment finished and
  3. 10 years after treatment finished.

So we’ll make her new retainers. We have a scanner here, so there was no moulding of her teeth needed to make the retainers, and we’ll fit them soon.

The thing is… her teeth were so straight, and ...
