Why discreet braces are increasingly popular in cosmetic dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry is the specialism that deals with the aesthetic appearance of the teeth. At Aura Dental in North London we are seeing an increasing number of adult patients who want to use discreet braces to improve the aesthetic appearance of their teeth.

Many adults want straighter teeth but don’t want to wear traditional metal braces, which are very obvious in the mouth. Discreet orthodontics is one of the fastest-growing areas of cosmetic dentistry. It involves the use of clear or tooth-coloured braces or aligners to straighten your teeth, without anybody knowing about it.

At our North London dental practice we offer orthodontic consultations to anybody thinking about having tooth-straightening treatment. During this consultation your dentist will carefully examine your mouth and will recommend the best course of orthodontic treatment, going through the pros and cons of all options to enable you to make an informed choice.

Orthodontic options

Aura Dental in North London offer several discreet orthodontic options as part of our cosmetic dentistry options. Depending on your individual needs, we may recommend braces or aligners. Here are some of the treatment options available:

Six Month Smiles

Six Month Smiles are tooth-coloured braces used to correct the mild to moderate alignment issues with the front teeth. Because treatment is focussed on the front six to eight teeth – those that show when you smile – the average treatment time is just six months. Your dentist will advise you of your projected treatment times at your initial consultation.

Inman Aligner

This removable aligner quickly and safely moves your teeth into a more desirable position. Treatment typically takes just six-18 weeks.

Invisalign

Invisalign is one of the most popular options in cosmetic dentistry for patients who want straighter teeth. These clear aligners are removable and gently move your teeth into a new position.
