Getting braces later in life may be daunting for some adult patients. However, orthodontics can restore your confidence in your smile and enhance your appearance. Although crooked teeth are primarily an aesthetic concern, they can also pose serious threats to your oral health. Straight teeth are easier to brush and floss, helping prevent further tooth damage. They can also help fix jaw problems and ultimately improve your facial appearance.
At Harley Street Dental Clinic, we understand that metal braces are not for everyone.We offer our patients a variety of discreet orthodontics in Harley Street. Achieving the smile of your dreams has never been easier.
Lingual braces
Unlike regular metal braces, lingual braces are fitted to the inner surface of your teeth, opposite your tongue. This means they are nearly invisible to everyone around you. Lingual braces work just like metal braces with the only difference that they are hidden from view. At Harley Street Dental Clinic, our experienced dentists have treated many patients using this discreet teeth straightening method with reliable results. Unlike Invisalign and clear braces, lingual braces can be used to fix most orthodontic problems.
Clear braces
Orthodontics in Harley Street can provide you with a less conspicuous solution for crooked teeth, with clear braces. These are fixed braces made of a tooth-coloured material. They work just like conventional metal braces, but offer the patient confidence while they are wearing them,since they more easily blend into the background of their teeth. Although clear braces can not treat severe types of misalignment, they are ideal for patients with professions where appearances can be very important.
Invisalign
Invisalign is a popular choice for adults looking to straighten their teeth subtly. Invisalign uses transparent and removable aligners that allow for easy cleaning. The aligners can be removed to eat, drink, brush and floss your teeth, but they have to be worn at least 22 hours a day for maximum efficiency. Unlike regular braces, Invisalign does not require frequent visits to the dentist for adjustments – your dentist will provide new trays that you simply switch in every 2 weeks.
