Category: Braces

Braces are the best-known and most reliable way to straighten your teeth. At Aura Dental in North London, we know that many people who want straighter teeth don’t want to wear obvious metal devices, which traditionally also have long treatment times.

Fortunately, there are a number of discreet options available at our North London dental practice. These include both near-invisible braces and clear aligners, which will not be spotted by the untrained eye.

If you are interested in straightening your teeth discreetly, the first thing to do is to book an appointment with a dentist here at Aura Dental North London. Your clinician will carefully examine your mouth and will then recommend all the appropriate treatment options. They will discuss the pros and cons of each option and you will be able to raise any questions you may have.

Treatment options here at Aura Dental North London include:

Inman Aligner

This is a single clear aligner that is known for its very fast treatment times – typically between six and 18 weeks. It can correct a wide range of orthodontic issues and benefits from being both clear and removable. The Inman Aligner is not suitable in every case – your dentist will advise if this will work for you at your initial consultation.

Cfast Braces

Cfast braces are designed to work on the front six teeth – those that show when you smile. These gentle, minimally-invasive cosmetic braces can level out and round the arches quickly and comfortably. The brackets are clear and the nickel-titanium wires are clear, meaning few people will notice you are having treatment.

Six Month Smiles

Six Month Smiles are also fast, discreet braces. They apply traditional orthodontic technology to the “social six” teeth – which show when you smile – and use clear brackets and tooth-coloured wires for maximum discretion.

It is a fact that dental treatments across the UK costs much more than in other countries. But, that does not mean people have to go out of the country to have their teeth treated or completely dismiss the need for a treatment. Locals can avoid financial issues by planning the expenses ahead of time.

The Need for Orthodontics

Orthodontics is one of the most common treatments that people demand. In England and Wales alone, more than 200,000 adults and children got braces this year. This is because fixing misaligned teeth not only makes their smiles look better, but also improves their bite, allowing them to eat any food easily.

Only practitioners can tell if a person needs an orthodontic treatment. That is why it is ideal to visit the dentists regularly. They can detect early signs or potentials of misalignment and then advise patients to get braces. As the problem is only in its early stages, this gives patients time to plan and save money.

Go for Private Treatments

The NHS offers braces for free, but only to certain patients. This leaves people with only one option – to go for private treatment. This course may cost more, although private treatments allow patients to choose other braces, particularly the invisible aligners. So, how much does this treatment cost?

Many say that money does not matter when it comes to self-improvement. It is true, although patients still have to consider the costs. In general, the price rate for invisible aligners depends on the complexity of the problem and the timeframe of the treatment. But, the price range of these aligners is typically between £2,500 and £4,500. It can, however, go as low as £1,500 if the patient only requires minor treatment.

Ideal Treatment Option

Getting your misaligned teeth straightened out should not cost a fortune. Here at Aura Dental, we offer a range of cost-effective, discreet North London braces and orthodontic treatments, including the Inman-aligners (per jaw) and the new invisible braces (removable). We aim to give you a better smile, healthier teeth and an increased confidence level. Our prices range from £2,300 to £2,500.

Your dentist has many options when it comes to straightening teeth. Here at Aura Dental in North London, we embrace discreet and invisible orthodontics, which are special products designed to straighten your teeth without the whole world knowing about it.

Many adult patients complain to their dentist that while they want straighter teeth, they don’t want to wear obvious train-track-style metal braces for a considerable period of time. At Aura Dental in North London, we are aware that while these braces are effective they are not always compatible with a busy adult lifestyle. That’s why we are proud to offer a number of other solutions.

While straightening your teeth as an adult may be primarily a cosmetic dental concern, it’s also worth remembering that straighter teeth are healthier teeth. Crooked, crowded or gappy teeth are more difficult to clean, meaning that foot particles can get trapped in between them, enabling plaque bacteria to develop. Plaque bacteria causes both tooth decay and gum disease.

If you are interested in orthodontic treatment as an adult, you should book an orthodontics consultation with a cosmetic dentist at our North London clinic. They will carefully examine your teeth and will outline the pros and cons of all available treatments.

What your dentist may recommend

Depending on your personal needs, your dentist may recommend one of the following:

Inman Aligner

The Inman Aligner is a clear, removable appliance that quickly aligns the front teeth, taking between six and 18 weeks on average.

Clear aligners

We offer treatment with Invisalign and Smilelign clear aligners. Your dentist will prescribe a series of aligners that you change every two weeks or so as your teeth move. They are also removable.

Six Month Smiles

Six Month Smiles are discreet braces that focus on the front six teeth, quickly improving their alignment.

If you have crooked, crowded or misaligned teeth, you may be considering using braces to improve your smile. At Aura Dental in North London, we understand that adults may be anxious about wearing visible orthodontic appliances. That’s why we offer discreet orthodontics to suit every lifestyle.

Discreet braces

Discreet orthodontics, sometimes called invisible orthodontics, is a rapidly growing market as more and more adults want to straighten their teeth. At Aura Dental in North London, we offer a number of tried and tested discreet orthodontics devices, including tooth-coloured braces and clear aligners.

The best solution for you will depend on the type and amount of correction required. When you come in for your initial orthodontics consultation at our North London practice, your dentist will be able to advise you of all the available options and your predicted treatment time.

Your dentist will discuss what you want to change about your smile and will carefully examine your teeth and gums.

Depending on your treatment requirements, the dentist may recommend:

Inman Aligner

The Inman Aligner is a popular way to correct issues with your front teeth quickly and safely. The aligner is clear and uses a specially-designed system of bows and springs to adjust the position of your front teeth in as little as six weeks. Your dentist will advise you of your suitability for treatment with the Inman Aligner, as it is not suitable for everyone.

Invisible braces

Invisible braces or aligners are custom-made to fit your mouth and are a very discreet way to move your teeth. Your dentist will take impressions of your teeth in order for your aligners to be made. They have the added benefit of being removable, meaning you can take them out to eat, drink and clean.

Six Month Smiles

Six Month Smiles braces use clear brackets and tooth coloured wires to adjust your front teeth in as little as six months.

Think braces are just for teenagers? Think again! Adult orthodontics is one of the fastest-growing areas of dentistry as more and more people want to straighten their teeth. At Aura Dental, a North London dental practice, there are many options for adults looking for orthodontic treatment.

There are many good reasons to straighten your teeth. Crooked teeth may make you unhappy with the appearance of your smile, but dentists are keen to point out there are also health reasons to have orthodontic treatment later in life.

Misaligned teeth can be more difficult to clean, which increases your risk of gum disease and tooth decay – ultimately raising your chances of tooth loss. Orthodontics uses braces and aligners to improve the alignment of your teeth, boosting both your smile and your dental health.

If you’re thinking about straightening your teeth, the first step is to book a consultation at our North London dental clinic. We appreciate that this is a big decision to take, so during your consultation one of our experienced dentists will discuss all the appropriate treatment options, including projected treatment times and what each treatment entails.

I need braces? But I don’t want a mouth full of metal!

One of the primary concerns patients bring to their dentist about orthodontics treatment is that they imagine treatment with braces to be very obvious. Think of the metal bracket and wire contraptions popular with teenagers, and it can be understandably off-putting for adults with busy social and professional lives.

Thankfully, there are many other options. At Aura Dental in North London, we offer a range of discreet orthodontics. These are clear aligners or tooth-coloured braces that are designed to be practically invisible to the untrained eye.

The major difference between the options is that braces are fixed while aligners are removable. Your dentist will be able to recommend the best option to suit your needs at your consultation.
