Smile confidently with discreet braces in St John’s Wood

In recent years, more adults have been visiting the dentist for teeth straightening treatment. However, if you are an adult with crooked teeth, the idea of wearing metal braces can be unpleasant. Luckily, dentistry has come a long way and there are now more options than you might think for adults who are hoping to straighten their teeth quickly and discreetly.

At Aura Dental, we appreciate that metal braces are not for everyone. Teenagers and adult patients are often intimidated by metal braces due to aesthetic and practical concerns. For this reason, discreet braces in St John’s Wood are gaining popularity. Here are some of the options patients choose:

Braces in St John’s WoodInvisalign

Invisalign is an innovative teeth straightening method that uses a series of plastic, transparent, removable aligners to move your teeth into position. These aligners are custom-made to fit snugly over your teeth and gums and, since they are created with the help of 3D technology, they also allow your dentist to monitor your treatment from the beginning to the end. Invisalign aligners have many benefits over traditional braces. Not only are they hardly visible, but they are also removable, meaning you can take them out in order to eat or brush your teeth.

Six Month Smiles

Six Month Smiles is a quick and effective alternative to conventional braces. These braces embrace the traditional principles of teeth straightening with a twist for faster, subtler treatment. Six Month Smiles consist of tooth-coloured brackets and wires that are virtually invisible against your teeth. They also use low forces to move teeth. Many people think that the accelerated braces treatment means simply tightening regular braces to get the teeth moving. However, this is not true. Six Month Smiles braces in St John’s Woods work just like regular braces, but with an emphasis on the cosmetic appearance of your teeth rather than the position of your bite. For this reason, they are not ideal for patients who have severely crooked teeth.

Inman aligner

The Inman Aligner is a fast and safe way to correct crowded, rotated and oddly spaced front teeth. In fact, most cases can be completed within 6-18 weeks, which is significantly faster than most teeth straightening treatments.
