A look at discreet braces in St John’s Wood

Traditional braces have a reputation for being uncomfortable, unattractive and old-fashioned. However, with the invention of more discreet teeth straightening appliances, such as clear braces and invisible aligners, adults can feel more comfortable while they are improving their smile and bite.

At Aura Dental, we use a wide variety of adult braces in St John’s Wood and we firmly believe that the treatment chosen should be personalised to each patient’s individual needs, rather than using a ‘one brace fits all’ approach. Before beginning the treatment, we will perform an initial examination to determine the underlying dental misalignment as well as identify any pre-existing dental problems such as active gum disease or dental decay. It is important that these conditions be fixed prior to starting your treatment.

Types of discreet braces in St John’s Wood

While traditional metal braces can be used for adults, most adult patients prefer more discreet teeth straightening treatments to achieve a healthy and beautiful smile. Options at Aura Dental include:

Six Month Smiles

Six Month Smiles braces use tooth-coloured brackets and wires to gently move your teeth into their correct position in an average time of six months. The reason these braces work so fast is that they focus only on your front teeth and do not make any significant changes to your bite. As well as being discreet and fast, the gentle pressure from the braces makes them more comfortable than traditional braces. Six Month Smiles braces are very discreet and are ideal for patients looking to make minor changes to their smile in a short amount of time.

Inman Aligner

Similar to Invisalign, the Inman Aligner is a removable teeth straightening appliance. However, unlike Invisalign, the Inman Aligner relies on forces created by coiled springs that gently push and pull your front teeth into their correct position in a much shorter time. The Inman Aligner is limited to the front teeth and may not be suitable for patients with severe dental problems.
