If you are afraid to showcase your smile because of crooked and unattractive teeth, it’s never too late to change your smile. Luckily, dentistry has evolved significantly over the years and patients can now attain a beautiful and healthy smile without the need to wear metal braces.
At Harley Street Dental Clinic, we appreciate that metal braces may have social consequences for their wearers and for this reason we offer a wide range of discreet orthodontics in Harley Street. From Invisalign invisible aligners to tooth-coloured braces and lingual braces, you can choose the best option for your situation with the help of our experienced orthodontic team.
Invisalign
Invisalign is an advanced alternative to traditional braces. Unlike regular metal braces that are attached to the teeth and can cause daily discomfort, Invisalign aligners can be taken out, allowing patients to enjoy everyday activities such as eating and brushing their teeth without anxiety.
Treatment with Invisalign begins with a consultation that will help you find out if you are a good candidate. After the approval of your dentist, you will begin your Invisalign journey by wearing a set of custom-made, 3D, removable aligners made just for you. These aligners will gradually move your teeth into their correct position day after day.
Lingual braces
Lingual braces are fixed braces which are completely invisible because they are attached to the back of your teeth – opposite your tongue (that’s why they are called lingual). Lingual braces are customised to complement the shape and curve of your teeth and function just like metal braces.
Clear braces
Unlike traditional braces, clear (or tooth-coloured) braces are not obtrusive, because they are designed to blend with the rest of your natural teeth. These braces function just like metal braces, but are much less visible.
Teeth straightening is not only about aesthetics
Orthodontics in Harley Street is much more than a beautiful smile. Cosmetic orthodontics may be less powerful than orthodontic braces, but they are still very beneficial to your oral health. Crooked teeth can create all sorts of problems and treating them with orthodontics – whether cosmetic or conventional – is the best way to prevent this from happening.
