Clear Braces

Clear braces aren’t just for children ; they can improve an adult smile too.

Healthy teeth can be moved at any age and it is a great time to consider orthodontic treatment to straighten your teeth and improve your smile. Clear braces are not just for teenagers, many adults now opt for the transparent aligners. There are several choices for clear braces today with the advancement of dental technology, and treatment times to straighten teeth are becoming shorter and more affordable.

Common reasons for requiring aligners can include; overcrowded teeth, crooked teeth, gaps in the teeth, overbite, underbite or a crossbite. Orthodontic care can help to restore the correct function of the teeth and preserve the health of the mouth and teeth, facilitating speech and improving a person’s smile.

Clear braces work by applying a constant, gentle pressure to the teeth which over time moves the teeth into a better position. The traditional method of metal train track braces are still popular but many adults are opting for almost invisible teeth straighteners such as Invisalign or ClearCorrect® products.

Invisalign®

If you’re still apprehensive, Invisalign® may change the way you think about clear braces.

When choosing this clear braces solution, you will be assessed and a digital scan of your teeth taken. This data is then sent to Invisalign and together we come up with a dental care plan that is unique to you.

Invis-align-ers are custom made for your teeth and mouth using crystalline medical grade plastic. A series of almost invisible aligners are created ready for you to wear for two weeks during which time your teeth will move a little, towards the projected final position.
