If you want to get your teeth straightened, modern dentistry means that you can have treatments that won’t take over your life or your face. Clear braces in Harley Street blend in with your smile so that they can barely be seen. You can carry on with your life without feeling like everyone is staring at your teeth or asking constant questions about your treatment.
Getting started
If you’re interested in clear braces in Harley Street, the first step is to book a consultation with our resident orthodontics dentist Dr Emma Laing. Emma studied this branch of dentistry for some years after completing her five years of training in general dentistry. She will recommend the most appropriate clear braces in Harley Street for your alignment issues.
Going through the treatment
Once your braces have been fitted, you will likely go through a few days of getting used to wearing them. If you have fixed braces, there is a learning curve around eating and the subsequent cleaning routine afterwards, but you will soon get used to it. You may also need a few days to adjust to speaking with braces in your mouth.
You will need to come back to see Emma every couple of months, so that she can check on your progress and make any necessary adjustments. This is a great time to ask Emma any questions you may have about your treatment.
How long your treatment will take depends mostly on how complex your alignment issues are. It also depends on your age; the younger you are, the quicker the treatment.
After treatment is complete
Once your teeth have reached alignment, and your braces have been removed, you will need to wear a retainer for a certain amount of time. Retainers keep the teeth in their final positions while the ligaments that hold them in their sockets and the newly built bone around them, settle down.
People also often choose to get their teeth whitened or have any little imperfections dealt with so that they feel like they’ve had a complete smile makeover.
