The benefits of braces as an adult

Treatment with braces can benefit people of all ages. North London clinic Aura Dental offers a number of discreet brace solutions, as well as clear aligners, to correct a wide range of orthodontic problems. If you are interested in improving the alignment of your teeth, why not come in for a consultation to learn more about how we could help you?

While treatment with braces is seen as standard for children and teenagers these days, a lot of adults are also taking an interest in teeth straightening treatment. As more people begin to realise the true value of a beautiful smile, so the demand for adult orthodontics is growing.

What’s more, in terms of treatment for teenagers, the criteria for braces on the NHS is very strict, and waiting lists are very long. The teenage years can be a sensitive time and young people can be very image-conscious, so at our North London clinic we also offer options for those who don’t qualify for NHS orthodontics, as well as those who do but either don’t want to wear metal braces or would like to start their treatment as quickly as possible.

Whatever your age, there are more benefits to teeth straightening than just a beautiful smile. Improperly aligned teeth are harder to keep clean, which can increase your risk of dental decay or gum disease developing.

If you are interested in straightening your teeth with braces or aligners, the options at Aura Dental in North London include:

Six Month Smiles

These barely-visible cosmetic braces are designed for rapid mild to moderate correction of issues affecting the teeth that show when you smile. Comprising clear and tooth-coloured parts, the average treatment time is just half a year.

Inman Aligner

Invisalign

A popular system of clear aligners, Invisalign can be used to correct a wide range of concerns. This system is removable at home.
