Dental Tribune Untited Kingdom Edition

Be a front runner with performance mouthwear Enhance Dental Spa is a private practice based in Ely, Cambridgeshire and recently became an official Under Armour Performance MouthwearTM (UAPM) provider. The practice’s head dental nurse Felicity Chivers has been running marathons for the last eight years and she was the first to try out the service. “I started using UAPM at the beginning of September 2011 and then during a race that was on the following month. I’ve been wearing it ever since then – it’s part of the running kit now! “I don’t get the soreness in my jaw anymore. As for my muscles and recovery the next day, I have noticed a real difference, and during the race in October I was much more focused. It definitely helps. “It’s really comfortable to wear. I can take in my gels when running, and I can still talk with it - I do like a chat as we go! You can’t see it or anything.” “UAPM is part of my training for the next London marathon. I’d definitely recommend trying it.” For more information on how your patients can benefit from Under Armour Performance MouthwearTM go to www.bitetech.com, call Nuview on 01453 872266 or email armourbite@nuview-ltd.com Carl Zeiss dental microscopes – “Confidence and Accuracy” For enhanced, predictable treatment outcomes clear vision of thetreatmentareaiskey.Renowned for their superior optics, Carl Zeiss dental microscopes produce brilliant high-contrast, true-colour images for optimum visualisation. Dr Alastair Fee of A R Fee Dental Practice, Stoke on Trent, recently invested in a Carl Zeiss OPMI Pico, available exclusively from Nuview in the UK: “I first discovered Nuview at various postgraduate courses. I was impressed but could not justify the cost at the time. Later, in 2009, I attended a microscope training course. When my dental loupes began to wear out I decided it was about time to invest in a microscope. Having already looked at the other microscopes on the market and taken advice from colleagues, I opted for the superior performance that Carl Zeiss dental microscopes offer. “The service I received from Nuview was excellent, and the microscope’s performance is every bit as good as I hoped it would be. I use it in nearly every element of my work; the impressive lighting and magnification greatly increases my confidence and has improved the accuracy of the treatment I provide.” For more information please call Nuview on 01453 872266, email info@nuview-ltd.com or visit www.nuview.co.uk Make a dramatic improvement in your smile The LR Appliance from Oralign Ltd is the smallest and most discreet of tooth appliances for straightening front teeth. If you want to see results, you do not have long to wait. The appliance is easy to use, requiring only 14-16 hours of wear a day. This means the appliance can be fitted in easily with a busy routine. It is ideal for use in both young and old. For many years fixed appliances such as braces were the only option, but now the LR appliance can straighten and improve in a matter of weeks. It can only be used by certified dentists, which means you can be sure of receiving the highest standards of care. “Compared to other systems the LR appliance is quicker and more cost effective, with tremendous benefits to both patients and dentists. After the excellent Oralign course I was very confident in offering this option for my patients.”- Dr Hap Gill, from Smile Studio. The new LR Appliance is a faster way to a straighter smile.

Spry Dental Floss with Xylitol is special sponge flossdesignedforbetteradaptationtointerdental spaces. Sponge floss enables regular flossing when under tension, and will expand with reduced tension to assist users in reaching hard-to-reach places or where teeth implants are present, gently coating the teeth and gums in xylitol the process. Thanks to its unique chemical structure xylitol is scientifically proven to be unfavourable to the metabolism of S.mutans – the bacteria most closely associated with dental plaque. As such, studies have shown that xylitol-based dentifrices significantly reduce the incidence of caries and periodontal disease in children and adults. For this reason Spry Dental Floss with Xylitol is the perfect addition to any comprehensive oral hygiene regime. To learn more about the benefits of xylitol, and to find out more about the other innovative products in the Spry range, contact Anyone 4 Tea today.

Dr John Moore, an ISCD CEREC Trainer in Plymouth, said: “It was by far the best course I have ever attended. The organisation was excellent, the speakers clear and concise and the content, I think, will be hugely beneficial to my patients and I. “I admit to having been very sceptical about a ‘non-orthodontic’ dentist like myself being able to do such treatments, or that I should even be considering treading on the orthodontist’s territory. The course clearly showed me how to judge those cases that can be approached with confidence and those that should not. “The information on the USB and the promise of assistance on the Forum for first cases is an exceptional addition to the value of the course. “I feel really empowered to go about my cosmetic work and veneer cases in a different, more confident manner. Straight Talk Seminars is the only provider of accredited Inman Aligner courses in the UK and the training is available in hands-on and online formats.

The Eye Mag Pro F frames are stylish, sturdy and comfortable, allowing me to wear them for long periods.
