The Best Invisible Braces UK
Millions of people around the world use orthodontic braces to straighten their teeth. Braces aren’t just for children and teenagers, a quarter of brace patients are now adults. At Whites Dental, an overwhelming majority of our brace patients are grown adults over the age of 25. If you are looking to have your teeth straightened, but are a little put off by using fixed metal braces, you will be pleased to know that we are able to offer a range of invisible teeth straightening options to our patients. Some of these options are so discreet that people won’t be able to even tell you are having your teeth straightened with orthodontic braces.
Just like traditional fixed metal braces, invisible teeth straightening brace systems help to straighten crooked or gappy or overcrowded teeth, however, they do so in a discreet manner, giving you a straight smile that you can be proud of. At Whites Dental, our dentists help to create beautiful straight smiles for our patients using different types of invisible braces. We have detailed our favourite three below.
Invisalign Clear Braces
Invisalign invisible braces straighten your teeth in an effective and discreet way; they enable you to wear them and still carry on your life a normal. Most people won’t be able to even tell you are wearing them. The braces or aligners as they are also called move the teeth to their final position in stages – the first set of aligners move them ever so slightly, till the next set in the series moves them further till all the teeth have moved to their final positions. The aligners need to be changed every 1-2 weeks and have to be worn for at least 22 hours a day.
They should be removed for eating, drinking and brushing. Invisalign teen braces can be used to fix a vast range of tooth alignment issues such as overcrowding, overbites, under bites and deep bites. Treatment duration can range from 3 months to 18 months. Invisalign aligners are also very popular with adult patients who want to have a discreet, yet effective way to straighten their teeth. The biggest benefit of Invisalign aligners is that they enable you to carry on living your life as normal. People won’t be able to tell you are wearing them – you therefore don’t need to feel embarrassed about wearing unsightly metal braces. As the aligners are completely removable and need to be taken off before eating, you can continue to eat your favourite food as normal as well. Invisalign braces therefore provide you the flexibility to carry on your lifestyle with minimal impact.
Lingual Invisible Braces (Incognito Braces)
Fixed orthodontic braces have come a long way in the last decade. Advances in modern orthodontic technology have made many new innovative braces systems available to patients. Lingual braces are one such innovative orthodontic fixed brace system that straightens your teeth discreetly.
Lingual braces (or Incognito braces) are similar to traditional fixed metal braces in that they also use metal brackets and orthodontic wire to straighten your teeth.However, unlike traditional braces that are fixed to the outside surface of a patient’s teeth, lingual braces attach brackets to the inside of the teeth. The entire orthodontic hardware is thus completely hidden from view.Lingual braces are increasingly popular with our adult patients, especially those who have public or client facing roles where having discreet braces is a major advantage. Many lingual brace patients tell us that they completed their entire orthodontic treatment without anyone finding out they had braces on. Although lingual braces have discretion as their biggest advantage, they tend to be more expensive than traditional braces due to the additional time required to apply and maintain them. They can also affect a patient speaks during the initial stages when the mouth is still getting used to them. However, despite the additional cost, lingual braces are becoming increasingly popular with our adult patients.
Six Month Smiles
Six Month Smiles is a relatively new orthodontic system for straightening your teeth. Its innovative orthodontic technology provides for quick and impressive teeth straightening results. The system uses fixed brace to straighten visible teeth producing superb results in a shorter duration of time. They are perfect if you need to quickly straighten your teeth for a special occasion like a wedding that’s coming up soon.The Six Month Smiles system was originally developed in the United States and has been exploding in popularity here in the UK lately. It uses small clear brackets and a tooth-coloured wire to move your teeth to their new position effectively and comfortably. They are typically less costly than other fixed braces, thus making them a brilliant all round brace solution.
