Dreaming of a straighter, brighter, and more flawless smile? Maidstone Dental’s ABB treatment—Align, Bleach, Bond—is the latest comprehensive, conservative and pain-free solution to achieving your ideal smile in just a few steps.
This three-step process straightens teeth, brightens your smile, and addresses minor cosmetic flaws by combining orthodontics, teeth whitening, and cosmetic dentistry into one seamless treatment plan.
Step 1: Align
The first step involves orthodontic treatment to straighten the teeth. This is typically done using clear aligners, custom-made to fit snugly over your teeth. These aligners gradually shift your teeth into the desired position without traditional braces. Aligning the teeth not only enhances the smile aesthetically but also improves bite function and overall oral health.
Step 2: Bleach
Once the teeth are aligned, the next step is whitening, also known as bleaching. Teeth whitening is performed to achieve a brighter, more uniform shade across all the teeth. This step is crucial as it helps to eliminate any discolouration that may be present due to staining from food, drinks, or age. The bleaching process typically uses a peroxide-based gel that breaks down stains, leaving teeth several shades whiter.
Step 3: Bond
The final step involves bonding, where composite resin is applied to the teeth to correct any chips, gaps, or uneven surfaces. Bonding is a form of cosmetic dentistry that enhances the shape and appearance of individual teeth, ensuring a symmetrical and polished final look. This step is crucial for patients with minor imperfections that are not fully corrected by alignment alone.
1. All-in-One Solution
ABB is a holistic approach to smile enhancement. Patients don’t need separate treatments for teeth alignment, discolouration and cosmetic concerns. ABB is a single, integrated treatment plan that makes the process more streamlined and cost-effective.
2. Customised for You
The ABB process is highly customisable. The orthodontic phase can be adjusted to suit the specific alignment needs of the patient. At the same time, the bleaching and bonding steps are tailored to achieve the desired level of whiteness and symmetry.
3. Pocket-friendly
More affordable than traditional smile makeover treatments.
4. Efficient and Effective
Quickly achieve results in as little as 12 weeks*! It’s a convenient option for those with busy lifestyles.
5. Conservative
Unlike other procedures that may require removing a significant amount of tooth enamel, ABB focuses on enhancing the natural teeth with minimal alteration.
6. Painless
No injections and anaesthesia = no discomfort!
7. Improved Oral Health
Straighter teeth are easier to clean and less prone to issues like decay and gum disease.
*Results and duration may vary depending on the condition and complexity of your teeth.
ABB suits those with mild to moderate alignment issues, discolouration, and minor cosmetic imperfections. It’s an excellent option for individuals who want to improve their smile without resorting to more invasive or time-consuming procedures. However, not all dental issues can be addressed with ABB. Patients with severe alignment problems, significant decay, or extensive structural damage to their teeth may require more intensive treatments.
Contact us to schedule your consultation. Our dentists will assess whether the ABB treatment suits you.rough each stage of your smile transformation.
The ABB treatment process begins with a comprehensive consultation with our dentists. During this consultation, the practitioner will assess the patient’s dental health, discuss their goals, and determine if ABB is the right treatment option. If deemed suitable, our dentist will create a customised treatment plan, starting with making clear aligners for the alignment phase.
After the alignment phase, the patient undergoes teeth whitening and any necessary bonding work. The process is carefully monitored to ensure the best possible results, with regular check-ups to track progress.
After completing the ABB treatment, patients are advised to maintain good oral hygiene and follow their dentist’s recommendations for post-treatment care. This may include wearing a retainer to maintain alignment, regular dental check-ups, and avoiding foods or habits that can stain the teeth.
