Do you want to straighten your teeth?

If you are an adult, and the thing that gets you down about your smile is that you wish your teeth were straighter, then you are not alone. This is one of the most common complaints that adults have about their teeth. Thankfully however, this has been recognised by the dental profession and there is now a range of orthodontic appliances in St John’s Wood that can help you.

Braces in St John’s WoodAt Aura Dental, we offer a selection of cosmetically focused braces that have been designed with adults in mind. The designers of these treatments have prioritised comfort, discretion and speed so that adults in busy careers retain their professional look while they are undergoing realignment.

The majority of adults would like to concentrate on realigning the teeth which means the movements required are usually smaller and quicker, especially if this is the front teeth.

The other important thing on the mind of many adults is how inconvenient their braces could be to eat with or clean. Fortunately, aligners that can be removed by the patient are now common place. This means there is no need to change the diet or spend long minutes cleaning food out from brackets and wires.

Invisalign

Invisalign are a series of removable aligners uniquely designed for you. They are made from a patented plastic using 3D printing technology, ensuring that each aligner fits snugly into place. They hug with such precision that it takes a trained observer or very close friend to spot you are wearing them. Aligners are taken out to eat, drink and to clean your teeth. Otherwise, you need to wear them for at least 20 hours a day so that the moving process is not interrupted.

Clear Fixed Braces

If a fixed option is your preferred choice, then discreet braces like Damon, Six Months Smile and Clarity, with clear ceramic brackets and tooth-coloured wires might be the option for you. Due to the clear brackets they are less noticeable than traditional metal brackets and take an average of six to nine months to straighten the front six to eight teeth, which are the teeth that are most visible when we talk and smile.
