Clear braces in Harley Street and appliances that are hidden from view have encouraged many people to have their teeth straightened. People are sometimes dubious about having traditional straightening treatments due to their bulky nature and the fact that they are permanently fixed onto patients’ teeth for up to twenty-four months. At Harley Street Dental Clinic we offer several alternatives to traditional treatments, and will make sure that you get the right appliance to fit around you, your teeth and your lifestyle.
Hidden from view and capable of correcting multiple problems
Clear braces in Harley Street come in two types, fixed and removable. They can help you with an array of different problems and efficiently straighten out your teeth in an unnoticeable way. Whether you have an overbite or want to close up the gaps you have between your teeth these appliances could resolve your problems. Sometimes people can suffer from overcrowding, which is where the teeth have not had enough room to grow straight. This could be because you have a small mouth, or you could need to have a tooth removed to make room for your other teeth. Either way, our friendly team at Harley Street Dental Clinic can help.
It is important to seek dental advice if you suffer from things such as overlapping teeth, as this can actually cause a build-up of plaque in some areas, even if you have a rigorous brushing routine. If left untreated this could lead to tooth decay or even tooth loss, so it is important to have your teeth straightened to reduce your chances of this happening.
Clear braces, in the form of fixed clear braces (also known as ceramic braces) can help you if you have generally crooked teeth too, as they give your dental practitioner a lot of control over the way that your teeth move. They attach to your teeth with clear or tooth coloured brackets and wires and are almost hidden from view, meaning that few people may know that you are undergoing teeth straightening treatment.
We offer a removable appliance too
If you are looking for clear braces in Harley Street and wish that you could be able to remove your appliance as well, it is a good idea to discuss Invisalign treatment with one of our dental professionals. This treatment involves you wearing a series of custom-made aligners that will move your teeth gradually as you move through the aligners. Each set of aligners need to be worn for around two weeks, and you will be able to notice results soon after you have worn the first few sets. The aligners are easy to remove and completely clear so they are discreet and manageable. If you have an important speech to make or meeting to attend you can pop your aligners out, but make sure to wear them for at least twenty-two hours of the day.
Another appliance known as the lingual brace although not under the heading of a clear brace, is also hard to spot. Attached to the surfaces of your teeth via brackets that are metal, they are attached to one another by a thin wire. This is what tightens your appliance and makes your teeth move. This appliance works in a very similar way to traditional appliances, which also have metallic brackets and a wire, but the lingual brace is attached to the back of a patient’s teeth. Our dental team is ready to help you find the best way to improve your smile.
