Although it is a relatively new clear brace system invented in the 2000’s compared with old traditional metal brace technology. Ice braces have become an extremely popular addition to our orthodontic brace options at Azure Dental for improving your smile. Whilst Invisalign invisible braces are still just the most popular method for straightening teeth. Ice Braces are catching up and has a number advantages over Invisalign which is attractive to adult brace patients especially.
Whilst still offering an excellent degree of invisibility as they blend into the tooth extremely well, Ice braces work using the traditional method of dental braces which means that it is very effective and generally much quicker than Invisalign treatment (a series of clear aligners worn for approximately 22 hours per day); treatment times are usually completed in approximately half the time in comparison as they are working non stop 24 hours per day. This means they are able to apply the gentle light tooth movement forces very effectively to allow the teeth to move in the correct way with complete control.
Ben has been so patient with me through out my treatment I am so beyond happy with the finished result I highly recommend! All the azure team are so polite and helpful wouldn’t go any where else!

After having treatment I even received a follow up call 24 hrs later, on a Sunday, now that is a service 👌. I myself a ward sister of 17years in the NHS would recommend this practice. The staff are professional, efficient and so understanding ( my fear of the dentist), it is a clean, and very friendly environment Melanie How14:30 24 Mar 19 Really helpful and straight to the point advice. Friendly helpful staff. Thank you guys... Matty Smith06:26 14 Mar 19 I can not recommend Dan Hines enough, I’ve just finished my orthodontic treatment and I am absolutely thrilled with my results. He’s a brilliant dentist and his nurse Becky is fantastic too both so friendly, patient and genuinely lovely people. I did my research before choosing which dentist I would like to take on my case and I chose Dan as he is one of the most precise, thorough dentists I know. Both him and Becky have been so professional and welcoming throughout my whole treatment, explaining every stage and answering any of my concerns. If your looking for a brilliant dentist that is so down to earth and puts you at ease Dan is your man! Thank you so much for all your help! Steph Jayne Ramsurrun21:18 07 Mar 19 I live on a narrow boat and continually cruise the UK’s inland waterways....I am also terrified of dentists. When I say terrified, I say it without exaggeration. So terrified am I, that I had spent the twelve months prior to seeing Dan and his team, eating paracetamol like they were Smarties. My husband and I where moored in Maghull, when he declared enough was enough and dragged me (kicking and screaming) by train, to Azure Dental. My initial consultation confirmed what I had suspected, I needed four teeth removed. I can not begin to explain my abject fear at that prospect. Dan was lovely, kind and truly sensitive. He reassured me that I would feel no pain and he was 100% right, doing everything to ensure that result. Consequently, I returned to this practice and followed through with my treatment, each time my fear abating.
My boat is now moored in Market Harborough (East Midlands). I travelled for two hours by train to Manchester and then drove an hour to have Dan and his hygienist complete my treatment.
Big shout out to the lovely young blonde woman who held my hand initially and her dark haired colleague (sorry I don’t know either of your names) who helped me remain calm and relaxed for the rest of my treatment. I truly appreciated both of you. X
Dan, I will see you again. Thank you most sincerely. Karen Thorburn21:03 06 Mar 19 Always a professional service, all of the staff are welcoming and put you at ease from the moment you arrive.

Thanks for putting up with me ! 😉 Nicola Howard11:16 14 Sep 17 As a nervous patient I have always struggled to keep up with my dental care but on my first visit to Azure a woman who was just leaving said to me that I would be fine. Dan is brilliant she said and she was right. My teeth were in quite a state as I had not visited a dentist in years. He reassured me and explained everything and the whole experience was so much better than I was expecting.
That was a couple of years ago now and I no longer dread going to the dentist. Dan and all his team do a great job. Lin Nelson09:04 14 Sep 17 Best dentist ever!! Dan and his team are lovely. I was so ashamed of my teeth when I came for the consultation. Every visit I was actually excited for my appt. yesterday my brace has come off and I can't stop smiling showing my teeth, can't wait to smile on my wedding day showing my straight teeth!

Long may it continue ......... Margaret West01:49 19 Jul 17 I have had clear braces fitted in my 40s and although I was a bit concerned I might be too old Dan was so nice and very easy to talk to. I am half way through now and know I will be delighted with the results. I would definitely recommend the practice � Ann-Marie Crosby18:43 18 Jul 17 Excellent customer service and genuinely nice people. After a lot of research and a number of consultations I chose Dan for my Six Month Smile and he didn't disappoint, quick and efficient. I have since needed a couple of minor repairs to my retainer, on the first occasion I was concerned it was going to be very expensive but it wasn't it was a reasonable amount which reaffirmed my opinion. Highly recommended! Stephanie Macnab05:47 05 Jul 17 I was recommended to go for an assessment to Azure Dental. I have had some terrible experiences with dentists over a lifetime of difficulties with my teeth and I was a little sceptical. However from the moment I walked in I was treated brilliantly. All the staff were helpful and friendly. The consultation with Dan was the most thorough I have ever experienced. He is fastidious, obviously extremely knowledgable and competent. In addition he was polite, caring and courteous. He was able to make a difficult diagnosis with care and accuracy. I have no hesitation in recommending them. I shall be staying with them now I have found them. David Alexander04:47 07 Jun 17 Such a good dentist with lovely service, I had my brace removed today and can't thank Dan enough, finally happy with my new smile! Highly recommend.

Ice clear braces is a cosmetic brace system that can be used in both simple fast brace straight teeth treatments, or more complex cases of orthodontic treatment. Cosmetic dentistry for fastbrace cases focuses on straightening the front six to ten teeth at the top and/ or the bottom jaws. By doing this, it can work quicker than braces which also aim to move the more securely embedded rear molar teeth. Whilst there are cases where this is necessary from a functional dental perspective, for many people a smooth straight even beautiful smile is their main aim. The Ice system is effective when applied to gap closure, crowded or crooked teeth and is also made less visible through the use of crystal clear brackets and white .
“Highly highly recommend Azure! I had my teeth straightened as a child but they moved back. My teeth looked ok when I was a child but they look a million times better now! Dan did so much more with my teeth including shaping them and using different techniques that made a massive difference! I actually can’t believe how different my smile now looks!! I can’t believe they’re my teeth! I can’t thank Dan and the team enough for everything they have done!

Dan at Azure and all the wonderful dental nurses and receptionists are extremely professional and friendly. I am over…
Posted by Kelly Andersen on Friday, 7 February 2020
Regular checks by our Azure Dental dentist team ensures that the treatment moves forward as planned. Any necessary adjustments to the position of the brackets as well as the size and shapes of wires used for the necessary tooth movements are then made. Review appointments are arranged a regular 4 weekly intervals to keep everything moving smoothly into line as quickly as possible.
Although Ice braces use wires and brackets like traditional braces (with clear translucent brackets rather than metal brackets). They are only very slightly more visible than Invisalign and a lot of patients prefer them because of the speed at which they work. This is especially important for patients who are aiming to have their teeth straightened by a certain date; perhaps a wedding or a special holiday. We are always happy to give our patients a potential expected treatment time that these braces will take to work- which is usually between 6 and 9 months, in order that they can plan ahead. Of course, each person is a totally unique individual case and times do vary based on the starting positions of the teeth and which teeth need the most movement. The canine teeth have extremely large roots and so always require more time and effort to move. The types of movements required also determines the time needed. Teeth needing simple forward and back movement are simpler and easier to move than teeth requiring large rotations or twisting. This is because the bone surrounding the teeth has to become flexible enough to allow each individual tooth movement to occur.
The flexibilty in the bone once the teeth have moved is the reason why that once straight, teeth need retainers to ensure they stay in there new positions. If not held stable while the bone tightens back around the teeth roots this is what allows further uncontrolled movement when the brace is taken off. To make sure that your hard work and effort to get straight teeth is maintained long term Azure Dental provide a “Belt and Braces” technique of retention. We belive this is the best and only way to ensure tooth stability. This technique uses both a fixed wire retainer which is glued onto the back of the front 6 teeth before the brace is even taken off and then a night time removable Essix style retainer is then manufactured from moulds taken of your teeth for you to wear while sleeping.
As with all types of braces and especially important for braces which use wires and brackets, special care needs to be taken when cleaning the teeth to avoid food becoming trapped. If left for a period of time, any food particles will start to affect the teeth. This can result in both extensive gum inflammation and swelling along with an increased risk of tooth decay. This can also cause darkening of tooth colour with staining while the braces are in place. But it also slows down tooth movement due to the extra friction built up around the bracket and wire, which is what moves the crown of the teeth into position.
We always discuss and demonstrate the best method of cleaning with you during your consultation and brace fitting appointments, as well as during the follow-up review visits to make sure everyone is able to look after their teeth properly.
Alongside clear braces these days modern cosmetic dentistry choices have developed considerably over the years. Alternatives to braces include treatments such as composite bonding or veneers, porcelain veneers or even dental implants in certain circumstances. These techniques are able to provide a more instant Hollywood style smile makeover by reshaping and covering the natural tooth structure.
Each treatment has its own features and benefits that give each technique advantages in the end result achieveble. A lot will depend on each person’s individual tooth condition and tooth positions. Which option or combination of options are chosen to achieve their treatment goals is unique based on these factors.
Quite often a treatment combination of braces to straighten the teeth then whitening to lift the colour and then composite bonding to repair any chips and wear damage are used to achieve the best possible outcome and a beautiful smile.
We offer a Free Consultation for clear braces to enable you to have all the correct information you need to choose the best straight teeth treatment option.

He has a genuine concern for me & my teeth, & I know that I am in safe hands. Likewise, with his hygienist staff - always very thorough & professional. I couldn't recommend anyone more highly. Judy Riley12:55 21 Sep 17 It is such a lovely environment, so helpful and understanding, cannot recommend Team Azure enough ! Thanks for putting up with me ! 😉 Nicola Howard11:16 14 Sep 17 As a nervous patient I have always struggled to keep up with my dental care but on my first visit to Azure a woman who was just leaving said to me that I would be fine. Dan is brilliant she said and she was right. My teeth were in quite a state as I had not visited a dentist in years. He reassured me and explained everything and the whole experience was so much better than I was expecting.
That was a couple of years ago now and I no longer dread going to the dentist. Dan and all his team do a great job. Lin Nelson09:04 14 Sep 17 Best dentist ever!! Dan and his team are lovely. I was so ashamed of my teeth when I came for the consultation. Every visit I was actually excited for my appt. yesterday my brace has come off and I can't stop smiling showing my teeth, can't wait to smile on my wedding day showing my straight teeth! Definitely recommend anyone to go here!! Will miss coming for an appt. ☺️ Hannah Morton09:32 02 Aug 17 Been going to Azure Dental since they opened and they have always been superb. I recommended by Son to go too. He needed extensive treatment and he was delighted with the results. Their newly appointed dental hygienist is a great asset to the group.
Long may it continue ......... Margaret West01:49 19 Jul 17 I have had clear braces fitted in my 40s and although I was a bit concerned I might be too old Dan was so nice and very easy to talk to. I am half way through now and know I will be delighted with the results. I would definitely recommend the practice � Ann-Marie Crosby18:43 18 Jul 17 Excellent customer service and genuinely nice people. After a lot of research and a number of consultations I chose Dan for my Six Month Smile and he didn't disappoint, quick and efficient. I have since needed a couple of minor repairs to my retainer, on the first occasion I was concerned it was going to be very expensive but it wasn't it was a reasonable amount which reaffirmed my opinion. Highly recommended! Stephanie Macnab05:47 05 Jul 17 I was recommended to go for an assessment to Azure Dental. I have had some terrible experiences with dentists over a lifetime of difficulties with my teeth and I was a little sceptical. However from the moment I walked in I was treated brilliantly. All the staff were helpful and friendly. The consultation with Dan was the most thorough I have ever experienced. He is fastidious, obviously extremely knowledgable and competent. In addition he was polite, caring and courteous. He was able to make a difficult diagnosis with care and accuracy. I have no hesitation in recommending them. I shall be staying with them now I have found them. David Alexander04:47 07 Jun 17 Such a good dentist with lovely service, I had my brace removed today and can't thank Dan enough, finally happy with my new smile! Highly recommend.
