Orthodontic treatment (teeth straightening) has never been more popular. We offer both traditional braces and the more discreet clear aligner to achieve the smile you have always wanted.
Orthodontics is a specialist form of dentistry which aims to straighten teeth and align the jaw to produce a healthier bite and a perfect smile. In the past, most orthodontic patients were children, but now we see more adults searching for the perfect smile.
Crooked teeth often do not fit together correctly, are harder to keep clean and have an increased risk of tooth decay and gum disease. In some cases, these functional problems can lead to headaches and jaw pain. Correctly aligned teeth help with the functions of eating and chewing, are easier to clean and an amazing smile can boost-self confidence and self-esteem leaving you to enjoy life to the full!
Every patient in need of orthodontics is different and different aligners and braces are designed to combat different conditions. Finding the right brace to fix your teeth and fit your lifestyle can be difficult. However one method to help choose is Discretion vs Speed.
Clear aligners are a lot more discreet with most people remaining unaware you wear one. However the treatment can take longer, meaning that you may be wearing the aligner for a longer time, especially during complicated treatment. Braces however act much faster but are very difficult to hide sitting in plain view as they correct your teeth. There are exceptions to this rule such as Lingual appliances that are a brace that sit on the inside of the teeth. This limits the braces functionality only working to correct certain conditions.

If you are a sports enthusiast then braces can end up being dangerous to wear, particularly during full contact sports like rugby or boxing. In this case teeth straightening aligners have the added benefit of being removable which can be a huge benefit for adults who are involved in sport.
Removing the aligner before playing helps them stay involved without worry. For those involved in professional meetings and presentations, fixed braces can detract from the professionalism of any presentation. It may be reassuring to know that the aligners can be temporarily removed.
