Now you see them, now no one else does

Let’s face it, braces aren’t really a good look. You may not mind wearing them if you are a teenager and you can brighten them up with colourful brackets and wires; but you’ve never seen braces in Vogue or GQ as the latest must-have stylish accessory.

Things is, crooked, crowded, or gappy teeth don’t make it into the fashion pages either. Models and celebrities always have perfect rows of pearly white teeth these days. So, what’s a person to do? Unstylish if you don’t, unstylish at least for a good few months, if you do.

There is a solution

However, stylish people in the know do get their teeth straightened with braces in St John’s Wood. It’s just that they do it with discreet or even invisible appliances, such as Invisalign. Invisalign are quite different from traditional braces, which are usually variations on the theme of brackets and wires that often, but not always, are fixed to the teeth for the duration of the treatment.

In St John’s Wood, braces in the form of Invisalign clear aligners are pretty much invisible once you put them on. Invisalign is a system of very thin clear plastic aligners that resemble mouth guards. They are 3D printed using detailed measurements from digital scans of your mouth. Each aligner is a tiny incremental step different from the one before. The pressure from the slight incremental changes push the teeth gradually into alignment over about a year, depending on the complexity of each case.

Over 4 million people have been treated with Invisalign braces. In St John’s Wood, they are also incredibly popular. One reason is because they become as good as invisible when they are in place. Another reason is because Invisalign clear aligners are removable. Although they must be worn for at least 22 hours a day in order to complete the treatment on schedule, they are taken out for eating and cleaning. This means that you can continue to eat whatever you like, whereas the range of diet can be limited when wearing fixed bracket and wire braces.
