There are many different issues which can affect the aesthetics of your smile, but thanks to  advances in dental technology over the years there are now many different treatment options to help straighten your teeth and correct other issues. These can make your teeth align beautifully, and help you smile confidently, but also promote the health of your teeth and gums at the same time.

Here at our dental clinic we understand very well that, as an adult, you may not feel comfortable about considering Conventional Metal Braces to help correct the aesthetic issues you may have with your teeth. Conventional metal braces are one of the most effective forms of orthodontic treatment and are commonly seen in teenagers, but very rarely found in adults. This seems to be mainly due to the high visibility which conventional metal braces have in the mouth, which can result in self-consciousness and embarrassment in adults. To help combat the reluctance of considering orthodontics as an adult, here at Harley Street Dental Clinic, alongside conventional metal braces, we also offer orthodontic treatment using clear braces.  Speak to us today and book an appointment to find out about how clear braces W1 can help improve the aesthetics of your smile and also promote cleaner teeth, healthier gums and better oral health overall.

Are clear braces suitable for you?

Initially you will make an appointment with your dentist here at our practice and undergo a full examination of your mouth, because it is important to have clean teeth and healthy gums before undergoing any form of orthodontic treatment. This is to make certain that the treatment is successful and to make sure that you do not have any underlying dental issues which may be worsened by moving your teeth or which may affect the treatment itself. Once the dentist is happy that clear braces are a suitable treatment option for you, then they can carry out specialised scans which are able to show you an accurate image of how your teeth can look following successful orthodontic treatment using clear braces W1. You will be able to discuss and decide which form of clear braces W1 are the most suitable for you, using our knowledge and expertise, and there are many different options available now.

The advantages of clear braces

Clear braces provide a discreet and more appealing alternative to conventional metal braces. Clear braces can be glass or ceramic, providing a translucent almost invisible appearance which blends and camouflages effectively with your teeth. They are normally used on the front or visible teeth whilst you can have conventional braces on the remaining back, hidden teeth. Glass and ceramic are stain resistant and therefore they remain unnoticeable over the treatment period. Clear braces are an effective form of orthodontic treatment and the duration of the treatment is usually the same as conventional metal braces therefore this is an attractive alternative for those who are looking for discretion and do not want their orthodontic treatment to be noticed in their social or professional lives.
