Braces

There is a solution to having straighter teeth without having to wear the traditional unsightly metal braces. Known as invisible orthodontics, this type of treatment offers you the choice of wearing a clear and sometimes removable appliance while straightening and aligning your teeth.

This is often a favourable option for adults who have professional careers and don't feel comfortable wearing unsightly 'train track' braces for months on end. The technology behind invisible orthodontics is highly advanced and often gives patients a much shorter treatment time, depending on their individual cases.

Here is an overview of how they work:

They straighten teeth discreetly, and some can even be removed periodically, making them easier to fit around your hectic lifestyle.
They straighten teeth much more quickly than traditional braces, starting from as little as six months.
They are more comfortable than traditional braces because they use less force and modern wire technology.

Why have straighter teeth?

There are obvious cosmetic advantages to having straighter teeth, but did you know there are also health advantages too?

It's absolutely vital that you keep your teeth clean, there are harmful bacteria that excrete acid when they feed and it is this acid which causes dental decay. These bacteria lurk in the difficult to reach areas in between your teeth, this is why your dental hygienist will recommend flossing regularly.

This is where crooked teeth become more difficult to clean. If teeth overlap it's not so easy to get the floss in between your teeth which means you can't clean them quite so well.

If you don't clean your teeth in between then it's possible that these are the areas where dental decay can start.

Straighter teeth really can be healthier teeth.
