Many modern professionals may find that they want to straighten their teeth but don’t want to commit to years wearing a metal brace. Traditional metal braces are the tried and tested method of straightening teeth, but there are more modern alternatives that have many advantages.
The most common issue people find with traditional braces is the visual aspect of the braces. A mouth full of metal isn’t usually considered an attractive feature, but a straighter smile is preferable.
Here at Harley Street Dental Clinic, we can offer a range of treatments that can straighten your teeth without resorting to the heavy metal train track look.
Invisalign treatment
The first type of clear braces in Harley Street is Invisalign aligners. Invisalign aren’t strictly braces, but plastic aligners that gradually adjust your teeth using gentle pressure.
When you choose Invisalign treatment, we use 3D imaging technology, photographs and precise measurements to provide the information for the manufacture of your aligners. When we have given you your aligners, you do not need to come back very often for adjustments, as swapping to the next aligner in the series does this.
Your dentist will give you the time period in which you will change your aligners, depending on how fast your teeth respond to the adjustments.
Invisalign aligners are transparent, so they are barely noticeable when they are in your mouth. They are also completely removable, making meal times and cleaning times much easier and less of a hassle.
Invisalign can be a great alternative to traditional braces, but if you need more drastic results, other types of braces may be more suitable.
Other clear braces in Harley Street
Thanks to advances in modern materials, traditional braces have evolved. Braces can now be made from clear and tooth-coloured materials that blend into the natural colour of your teeth.
These advances make wearing braces much less conspicuous. Many people won’t be able to spot that you’re wearing braces as you undergo treatment.
Other variations on traditional braces have allowed treatment times to be reduced, and have made straightening your teeth easier than ever.
