How to find the perfect braces as an adult

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.
