Category: Braces

If you have crowded, widely spaced or misaligned teeth, you may find yourself hiding your smile, feeling self-conscious in social situations or shying away from the camera. If your teeth are very crooked, then you may even be experiencing problems with eating or speaking. At Aura Dental in North West London, braces have allowed many people benefit from having straighter teeth. Not only does this contribute to an enhanced appearance, it also improves the health of your mouth as correctly positioned teeth have fewer gaps for plaque to accumulate in and are easier to clean.

Braces are not for me

Many adults who missed out on corrective treatment as a child associate braces with metal train tracks and dismiss the idea due to concerns that they will be uncomfortable, time-consuming, inconvenient or unsightly. Thanks to modern techniques, we can offer braces in North West London to fit in with every lifestyle. Procedures now are faster, more comfortable and less obtrusive than ever so everyone can experience the joy of having straighter teeth.

A new smile in six months?

It seems too good to be true but if you have mild to moderate problems, a system called Six Month Smiles could be for you. Tooth-coloured wires and clear brackets mean that the braces are very discreet and, because they focus on the front teeth, treatment can be very quick. Another option if you are looking for braces in North West London is Invisalign. This process uses a series of almost invisible clear aligners which carefully guide your teeth into the desired position. The aligners are individually made to fit your teeth and made of smooth plastic so are very comfortable. The Inman Aligner is also clear but contains special metal springs and bows which create gentle forces to move the teeth. Both the Invisalign and Inman aligners are removeable for eating and cleaning. If the alignment of your front teeth in the top and bottom jaws need correction, then CFast braces are a minimally invasive and fast option.

Give yourself the gift of a more attractive smile and find out how we can help you with braces in North West London.

An increasing number of adults are turning to cosmetic braces to give their teeth a straighter, more aesthetically pleasing appearance. Braces are no longer the domain of teenagers and children. Instead, busy professionals are choosing to correct imperfections, such as crooked or spaced teeth, which may have bothered them for years. Braces in North West London at Aura Dental could change your life forever. You may be thinking you don’t want to wear metal braces for the next few years. Well, don’t worry, we can offer you more aesthetically pleasing options for your braces in North West London. Our dentists can fit you with alternatives that will give you a beautiful smile just as conventional braces will, but without compromising your appearance during your treatment. So let’s take a look at a few of your options.

Invisalign

Invisalign offers our patients a series of clear, removable aligners that are changed every 2 to 3 weeks. There is no tightening to be done, no adjusting of wires and no elastic bands to get in the way. Instead, all the adjustments are made with one new aligner every few weeks. Since the aligners are clear, they are hardly visible in the mouth, which means people aren’t likely to guess that you are wearing braces.

Each aligner is individually moulded to specifically fit snugly against your teeth, making Invisalign a more comfortable treatment than conventional fixed metal braces in North West London. With comfort and discretion, you can look forward to a new smile during your treatment instead of fretting over your appearance.

Inman aligner

The Inman aligner is a removable brace, which can be used to align the front teeth quickly, effectively and safely. It can work either as a stand-alone treatment, or even as a pre-treatment to allow other cosmetic work to go ahead, such as fitting dental veneers. It works by exerting a gentle force on just your front teeth, known as the ‘social six’, to gradually move them into the desired positions. Normally lower front teeth move a little faster than uppers.

If you grew up with slightly wonky teeth and have always wished you had straightened them when you were younger, don’t worry, it’s not too late. Increasing numbers of adults are having their teeth straightened with braces in North West London. With straighter teeth, you can enhance the aesthetics of your smile, while also improving your dental health.

Leave the past behind

Many adults want straighter teeth, but without the lengthy treatment times, discomfort and embarrassment of traditional ‘train track’ braces. Fortunately, these days such heavy-duty treatments are only needed for people with serious bite problems to correct. Alternative treatments are now available for the many people who have perfect bites but whose teeth grew through wonkily. It is these people that most of the new braces systems are aimed at.

At Aura Dental, we offer various braces in North West London, including:

Inman Aligner

This braces system is designed to realign the front teeth only. Nickel titanium coil springs power two aligner bows that gently oppose each other, guiding the teeth into their new positions. These gentle forces are active over a very large range of movement, which is why the Inman Aligner works so quickly. Worn as prescribed, it can straighten your teeth in just6 to 18 weeks. It is a removable appliance, so you can take it out for eating and cleaning.

Six Month Smiles

This is a fixed bracket and wire system, with the added plus of using clear brackets and tooth-coloured wires that are barely visible. As the name suggests, this braces system can realign teeth in an average of 6 months.

Invisible braces

If you’d rather not do the wire options, invisible braces are custom-made tight-fitting trays rather like mouth guards. You wear a series of them, each for 2 weeks. Each one gradually shifts your teeth towards their desired positions.

If you would like to find out how braces in North West London can transform your smile, and maybe even your life, please come to Aura Dental for a consultation. We love to show people what is possible with braces these days.

Teeth straightening treatments not only improve your appearance and self-confidence, but can also improve the health of your teeth, gums and jaws. Misaligned teeth are more difficult to clean, increasing the risk of tooth decay, gum disease and other dental diseases.While under bites, overbites and cross bites can cause irregular wear and tear of your teeth as well as achy jaws.

At Aura Dental in North West London, braces are not just for children. As an adult, you may wish you had straighter teeth but be put off by the unappealing look of metal braces. We offer a wide range of treatments that can cater to your individual needs, lifestyle, budget and moreover provide a discreet way to straighten your teeth. Teeth straightening no longer mean sporting a mouthful of metal.

Six Month Smiles

At Aura Dental, Six Month Smiles braces have taken the best aspects of conventional braces and adapted the treatment to provide a safe and cost-effective solution that can give you straight teeth in as little as six months.

Six Month Smiles are fixed clear braces that blend in with your natural teeth. The wire used to shift your teeth into place is transparent or tooth-coloured. The average time for treatment spans from four to nine months, depending on the position of your teeth. The speedier results produced by Six Month Smiles means fewer visits to the dentist and consequently lower costs than with traditional fixed metal braces. However this treatment focuses solely on your front teeth and so cannot treat more complex cases of tooth misalignment.

Invisalign

Invisalign braces in North West London consist of a series of customised, transparent, removable aligners. These are worn like a mouthguard and steadily straighten your teeth over time. As the treatment proceeds, your dentist will provide you with new Invisalign aligners every two weeks or so in order to ensure that your teeth move to the correct positions. The best part of Invisalign is that the aligners are removable, so you don’t have to change your lifestyle or diet. Simply take off the aligners when you eat, brush or floss.

Getting a certain kind of dental treatment is a collaboration. It involves you and our dental team at Aura Dental in North West London. Braces are one of these treatments. They also often require further interaction with a third party company which manufactures braces.

It is important to understand the different relationships involved in your treatment. This will help you to feel taken care of and secure. Getting plenty of information is often a good way to reduce anxiety about treatment. Most things are less intimidating on closer inspection than they appear in our minds.

What we will do

At Aura Dental, we start by having a consultation with you at our clinic in North West London. Braces are custom-made for each patient, and we need to get a complete picture of where your teeth are, so that we can plan how to get them where they are going.

The schedule we provide you with will give you key information, such as how long treatment will take and what it will involves. Many of these things are predictable, with a reasonable degree of accuracy from the outset. This means we can also let you know the costs involved.

Some of the people we work with

We work with companies, like Six Month Smiles, Invisalign, Inman Aligner and CFast, to give you the latest in teeth straightening options. All of these brands have worked with dentists and patients nationally and internationally.

As each is highly focused on their treatment method, it means that you get the benefit of intensive development and experience. Your dentist will securely send your information to the makers of your chosen braces. They will then make and return your braces, which are fitted at our clinic in North West London. Braces all realign the teeth, but this can be achieved in a number of different ways. Your dentist will help you to decide which of these is right for you.

What you need to do

While we support you throughout, the final decision is always yours. Once made, you can begin to plan how your dental treatment and appointments will fit into your daily life. This might mean following special usage and care instructions for your equipment.

If you were able to change one thing about your appearance what would it be? For many of us the answer to that question is to have straighter teeth. Very few of us are fortunate enough to have perfectly straight teeth naturally, but a straighter smile is possible. If this is the thing you would most like to change about your appearance, braces may be a solution that will work for you.

Braces are the traditional method used by orthodontic dentists to re-align teeth that have grown crookedly, are gappy or protruding. Here in North West London, braces are one of the treatments available at Aura Dental and we have transformed hundreds of smiles for our patients. Orthodontic issues vary from simple overcrowding to more complex cases so we offer consultations to you as a prospective patient.

What are the benefits for me?

Apart from having a smile to be proud of, when you have your teeth straightened, you will also enjoy better long-term dental health. Overcrowded or crooked teeth and a misaligned bite can all lead to major problems caring for your teeth. It also increases your risk of developing uneven wear and tear on certain teeth as well as cavities and gum disease. Having an attractive smile can do wonders for your confidence as well, and if you feel good about your new smile you will want to share it as often as possible.

At our surgery here in North West London, braces of different designs are available, depending on your requirements. These are suitable for adults who wish to have their teeth straightened discretely using a variety of tooth-coloured wires or clear braces.

Our commitment to you

We, like you, recognise that having an orthodontic treatment is a big commitment. So we offer an orthodontic consultation where we will discuss different tooth straightening options available. We will also advise you how long your treatment will take as well as what you will look like during the treatment, and the cost of the treatment.

We use the latest techniques, technology and materials available to deliver a result that will keep you smiling for years to come.

At Aura Dental, we offer braces in North West London because we want people to experience the magic that can start to happen in their lives when they lose their self-consciousness about their smile.

Having a great smile boosts the confidence. The act of genuinely smiling releases feel-good chemicals in the body, such as serotonin and beta-endorphin. These neuropeptides fit into special receptors throughout the body, and make us feel happier and more connected to life and the people around us. Others pick up on this and see us as more approachable and easier to connect with. Our social and work lives expand, offers come our way that may not have done before. We get new job offers, make more friends, enjoy new group activities. Life gets richer and more rewarding, and all because we are now unafraid to let loose the full power of our smile, thanks to braces in North West London.
