May 16, 2013 | Orthodontics

Have you always yearned for straighter teeth but hate the thought of wearing a mouth full of metal? If so you might be the perfect candidate for invisible braces. These braces are perfect for adults who didn’t have orthodontic treatment as children and who now feel self-conscious about their smile. Today’s orthodontic treatment is fast and effective and most importantly is very discreet. Our dental surgery offers a wide range of orthodontic options so you can be sure you’ll get the system that’s right for you.

Removable Braces

Removable braces, particularly Invisalign, are extremely popular and can be used to treat a wide variety of orthodontic problems. These include gaps in between teeth, overcrowded teeth and minor problems with occlusion or the way the teeth meet together, to more serious occlusal problems such as having an underbite or overbite. This system is affordable and most people will complete treatment within a year or so.

Learn How They Work

The braces or aligners are made from a clear plastic and look a little like a mouth guard. They will have been custom-designed to gently move your teeth into their new positions. Each set of aligners is replaced every two weeks by a new set to continue the treatment.When you first begin wearing your aligners you may experience some temporary discomfort but this should quickly pass as your teeth become accustomed to them.

They need to be worn for approximately 22 hours each day, but can be removed whenever you eat or drink something. One of the major advantages of this system is that it enables patients who have been fitted with braces in Kent, to maintain excellent oral health throughout the course of the treatment. Teeth can be brushed and flossed as normal, and the clear plastic aligners simply need to be gently brushed and washed every time you remove them. When they are in place they are virtually undetectable and are ideal for anyone whose job involves meeting the public or clients, or anyone who feels very self-conscious about having orthodontic treatment.The final result should be beautifully straight and healthy teeth.
