Does wearing braces have to be so obvious? A guide to our adult aligners at Aura Dental
Do you remember a time when having orthodontic treatment would equate to wearing metal aligners?
Not so any more! Surprisingly, in modern times, orthodontic treatments have changed so dramatically that even adults who have slightly misaligned teeth are seeking them out. As this field of dentistry has advanced, the need for metal aligners has reduced and it is now possible to get a straighter smile using either a clear or invisible aligner.
At Aura Dental, we have a myriad of different braces in St. Johns Wood for you to choose from. Specially selected by our orthodontists and cosmetic dental team, we will ensure that the aligner you wear is as discreet as possible and will be provided in the fastest timeframe possible, allowing you to get on with your day to day life without too many dental appointments. Perfect!
But what are some of the braces in St Johns Wood that we can offer you at Aura Dental?
Invisalign
As the most well-known of all the invisible aligners we offer, Invisalign is one of our most popular braces in St Johns Wood.
Custom-fitted to slot over your teeth, this set of clear trays gently applies pressure to your teeth without the need for tightening, giving you the smile you want in 6 months (on average).
Six Month Smiles
One of our pure cosmetic aligners, Six Month Smiles is attached to the front 6 teeth in your mouth and is designed to improve the aesthetics of your smile. This popular option is not suited for moving molars or more advanced orthodontic cases, but it can straighten minor misalignments in 6 months or less (it’s in the name!).
Inman Aligners
A clear aligner, the Inman aligner uses clear plastic and titanium coil springs to gently push your teeth into the desired alignment.
Ideal as a stand-alone treatment or as an option for straightening teeth before cosmetic options, this aligner is removable and offers a turnaround time of around 6 months, depending on the severity of the misalignment.
Lingual Aligners
Fixed to the inside of the teeth, Lingual aligners are a suitable option for those who have more severe cases of misalignment but don’t want to wear the regular orthodontic aligner.
By tightening and adjusting to create the sedated effect, this option is discreet and easy to use but offers treatment time of 24 months.
Damon Aligners
Damon aligners are a fitted brace which utilises clear, plastic brackets and a thin wire to gently push your teeth.
Suitable for more complex cases, this aligner will require tightening but is exceedingly fast, with an average treatment time of 12 to 18 months.
Retainers!
Once you have completed your orthodontic treatment with our team at Aura Dental, it is essential that you wear a retainer to prevent relapsing.
Our team can offer a standard, orthodontic retainer which is removable, or we can offer a Vivera retainer, which is 30% stronger than standard options, ensuring that your teeth don’t fall out of line.
