What are discreet braces?

Braces are the original and in many cases still the best way to correct alignment issues with your teeth. At Aura Dental in North London our skilled cosmetic dental team offer a number of discreet orthodontic options so that patients can straighten their teeth without everybody knowing about it.

A lot of adults who would like to straighten their teeth are put off by the prospect of wearing traditional metal braces. The cosmetic dentists at our North London dental practice understand this concern; whilst traditional braces are very effective, they are also very obvious, and this isn’t compatible with adults who have busy personal and professional lives.

So, what are the other options for orthodontic treatment? We invite all patients who are interested in cosmetic teeth straightening to join us for an orthodontic consultation here at our North London practice. Your dentist will carefully examine your teeth and gums and will discuss the pros and cons of all appropriate treatments, so you can make an educated choice about treatment going forward.

Six Month Smiles

Six Month Smiles aren’t just discreet – they’re quick, too. As you may have guessed from the name, the average treatment time is just six months.

Six Month Smiles are fixed braces with a considerably shorter treatment time than their traditional counterparts. They work so quickly because they focus only on the “social six” teeth – those on display when you smile.

Another huge benefit of Six Month Smiles braces is that they are designed to blend into your mouth. The wires are tooth-coloured and the brackets are clear, meaning many people will not notice you are wearing them.

Clear aligners

Your dentist may recommend clear aligners as an alternative to braces. These aligners are made of clear plastic and fit over your teeth to gently move them to a new position. They have the additional benefit of being removable for eating and cleaning.
