There are many different factors which can affect the alignment of your teeth and not only do these have a negative impact on the appearance of your smile, but they can also affect your dental health. It is important to undergo orthodontic treatment to improve the aesthetic issues of your smile, however, it also helps promote healthy teeth and gums for life. Speak to our dentist St John’s Wood and book a smile assessment so that we can identify the problems that are affecting your teeth and choose the right type of braces to help address your dental needs.

Different braces are designed for different dental requirements and personal preferences. Traditional orthodontic braces are used in teenagers and patients with complicated orthodontic issues. Traditional braces consist of metal wires and brackets which work together to pull your teeth into a neater formation over an extended period of time for excellent aesthetic results and healthier teeth for life. Traditional orthodontic braces are the most efficient at teeth straightening, therefore, research and design have led to the development of variations of traditional braces which are more appealing for prospective patients.

Many patients are reluctant to undergo traditional orthodontic treatment because these braces are highly visible in the mouth. If you would like to straighten your teeth without drawing further attention to your mouth, but you have a complicated orthodontic condition then you can speak to our dentist St John’s Wood and find out about lingual braces.

Lingual braces work in the same way as traditional metal brackets and wires, but these are attached to the back surface of your teeth, which means they are almost invisible in your mouth. This is a popular solution for those with extensive dental misalignment, but who are uncomfortable with the appearance of traditional braces being fixed to the front surface of their teeth. Clear braces are another variation on traditional orthodontic braces, where the components are designed to be almost invisible or to match with your natural dentition, to again help avoid drawing further attention to your mouth.
