Realignment by stealth

We offer a modern way to straighten your teeth at our practice in Harley Street. Clear braces, moulded from transparent plastic, are more comfortable and less visible than the wire-and-bracket braces that traditionally spring to mind when people imagine braces. Their low visibility and precisely customised features give you the opportunity to improve your dental health and appearance without attracting undue attention.

An adaptable and efficient solution

Braces are often associated with adolescence. But more and more professional adults are undergoing this treatment, because opting for clear braces in Harley Street means you can straighten your teeth without worrying about how you’ll look at important business meetings or summer barbecues. And as well as being kinder to your appearance, these braces can often get the job done in less time than the old method would have taken.

Clear Braces in Harley StreetA gradual journey

Once you’ve had a conversation with our friendly team and decided these braces are the right thing for your oral health, your dentist will take detailed images of your teeth and create a precise treatment plan. A set of clear plastic aligners will be moulded, with the aid of a computer, out of transparent plastic material. You’ll wear each one of these aligners for around two weeks, before moving on to the next one.

The aligners can be removed when you brush your teeth, and when you eat. Because each of them is a slightly different shape, your teeth will be guided into healthier positions over the course of the treatment. Depending on your needs, this can take 6-18 months, or perhaps longer.

Far-reaching benefits

Once your Harley Street clear braces come off, you might need to wear a retainer at night, to ensure the teeth settle in to their new positions. Then you can enjoy your better-looking smile, as well as the lasting health benefits it brings. Your newly-aligned bite will function more efficiently because the teeth all point in the right direction, putting less strain on your jaw. And it’ll be easier to maintain good oral hygiene, because there’ll be fewer awkward areas in your mouth that are tricky to clean.
