Clear Smile Braces & Aligners RCPS(Glas)
Dr Emma Dougherty BDS MFDS RCPS(Glas) Dr Emma Dougherty qualified with Commendation from the University of Glasgow in 2002, achieving distinctions in Paediatric dentistry and Orthodontics. She then worked in the Maxillofacial surgery and Orthodontic departments in Glasgow and Liverpool for two years, during which time she attained membership of the Royal College of Surgeons of Glasgow. Emma devotes a significant part of her professional time to providing aesthetic short-term and comprehensive orthodontic (tooth alignment) treatments. She is an active member of the European Society of Aesthetic Orthodontists and is trained in providing a number of discreet fixed clear and removable orthodontic options for patients. Among her recent achievements, Emma is the first dentist in Ireland to be awarded accreditation in the provision of Clear Smile fixed braces. She has lectured locally and nationally on behalf of the IAS academy (Intelligent Alignment Systems) on aesthetic orthodontics and now provides lingual braces (braces on the inside of teeth). These offer the ideal solution for patients who prefer the most discrete and invisible teeth-straightening option. In addition, as an advanced certified dentist for the Inman Aligner orthodontic system, Emma is trained to provide Clear Smile Clear Aligners. One area in which Emma gains great professional satisfaction is in working with and treating nervous patients. She spends considerable time working with them to identify and overcome the specific causes of their dental anxiety, providing gas and air sedation if required. To Emma, improving her patients anxiety levels in the chair, by giving them a healthy, natural and more confident smile, is one of the most rewarding aspects of her job.
CLEAR SMILE BRACE Many people are not happy with how their front teeth look when they smile but are put off wearing braces because they don t want to wear visible metal braces for a year or two. Clear smile brace is an aesthetic orthodontic system that focuses mainly on the front teeth. The less visible appearance of Clear Smile Brace makes it a highly appealing option that can fit anyones lifestyle. The clear smile brace wires are coated white rather than being silver and uses a material Ni-Ti with shape memory. This shape memory means the wire will return to its original shape regardless of how it is bent. This creates the gentle forces used to move your teeth to the desired position.

CLEAR SMILE INMAN ALIGNER Inman aligner is a removable brace; two clear bows in front and behind your teeth are activated by springs. Theses create a gentle pressure that guides the front teeth into their ideal position. Only a clear plastic bow is visible on the front of your teeth. This discreet option is excellent for patients who want their teeth straightened in a short time (6-16weeks) and you have the flexibility to remove it when required.
CLEAR SMILE ALIGNER Clear smile invisible aligners are the clear and simple cosmetic solution to realign front teeth. Clear smile aligner is the ideal treatment for mild to moderate crowding or misalignment of the eight front teeth. The clear smile aligner is comfortable, clear and easy to wear. Made from water-thin medical grade plastic, the clear aligners are custom made specifically for each patient. Clear smile aligners are worn for one week before switching to the next in the series. Each one incrementally repositions the teeth into the desired position, until alignment is complete.
CLEAR SMILE DISCREET BRACE Clear smile discreet brace is a safe, comfortable and totally discreet fixed appliance that is placed at the back of your teeth. Clear smile uses tried and tested techniques alongside the latest technology to enable you to receive an accurate assessment and diagnosis, providing you with both treatment options and predictable results. Above is a photo of a patient with her clear smile discreet braces fitted.
