The subtle way to straight teeth

Gone are the days when you had to straighten the teeth using traditional unsightly metal braces and risk feeling like a ‘metal mouth’. We at Aura Dental are embracing the exciting alternative methods for straightening the teeth.

If you need to go for braces in St John’s Wood, we can thoroughly examine your mouth and the position of your jaw and take your preferences and lifestyle habits into account to find the best option for you.

Once your teeth have been straightened, you will be required to wear retainers to prevent the teeth from sliding back into their misaligned position.

Fixed orthodontic retainers

These subtly straighten the teeth by hiding the wire behind the back of the teeth. It only requires a thin piece of wire, instead of having a mouthful of wires and brackets. It is non-removable, which is ideally suited for children as it means they can’t take it in and out their mouth.

Removable retainers

These are usually worn every night, potentially for the rest of your life. They should soon become as a natural part of your night time regime as brushing your teeth.

Invisalign

If you are looking to get braces in St John’s Wood as an adult, you may want to consider getting Invisalign. These are a series of clear aligners that are custom-made to fit your teeth. These are replaced about every one to two weeks.

An advantage of Invisalign is they allow you to continue to clean the teeth and eat certain foods as you would normally, without having to work extra hard to pick bits of food from a brace.

Six Month Smiles

Getting braces in St John’s Wood may sound like a long and tiresome task, but that doesn’t always have to be the case. With Six Month Smiles, you can align teeth in as little as six months, give or take.

This treatment is designed for those who feel self-conscious about their smile. Your smile can make a huge difference to how your face looks, and straighter teeth can significantly boost your self- confidence, as well as provide other benefits of straight teeth, such as easier cleaning and better chewing and digesting of food.
