Having straighter teeth is often very high on people’s lists of things they would change about their appearance. Fortunately, with orthodontic braces it is possible to straighten teeth artificially to improve the way they look in the mouth and the effect they have on the profile. However, traditional straightening methods are often very unpopular because of the way the braces look and feel in the mouth. Traditional train-track braces have a reputation for being not very attractive, uncomfortable and needing a long time for successful treatment but there are now other options.

Invisalign is a new system of teeth straightening that uses clear plastic braces to straighten the teeth faster and with less discomfort. Also, because they are made of clear plastic, the aesthetic impact of the braces is significantly reduced. Invisalign treatments are on average six months shorter than with more traditional braces. They work by using a series of specially designed retainers that fit over the teeth, making small adjustments. Gradually, the teeth are moved into a straighter position.

There have been clear braces in the past but they have often been fairly ineffectual but for the first time Invisalign braces offer genuine results without the need for wires and brackets ruining the appearance of the teeth. Ask your South East London dentist for more information about Invisalign braces at your next appointment. They will be able to give you a clearer idea about suitability and cost of treatment. There are also other treatments available such as the Inman aligner and Clearstep that straighten the teeth fast and with minimal aesthetic impact. A new age for orthodontic treatment has finally arrived.

For patients who want but don’t like the idea of wearing fixed braces or having permanent porcelain veneers fitted at the expense of otherwise healthy tooth enamel, the good news is that there is now a treatment that can straighten teeth in only twelve to eighteen weeks. In fact, in some cases the Inman aligner has begun to show results after as little as six weeks.

The Inman aligner is a removable, fast and discreet straightening device that represents a radical departure form conventional cosmetic dentistry treatment. Because the aligner focuses solely on the teeth that can be seen when smiling, it is able to achieve such incredibly fast results.

South East London dentists will be able to assess suitability for treatment at an initial consultation. If you are suitable for the Inman aligner treatment will usually cost between £1,000 and £2,000 from start to finish, depending on the nature of your teeth. Treatment involves relatively little or no pain with only some mild discomfort when the Inman aligner is initially fitted. The number of appointments needed during the Inman aligner treatment is also significantly reduced compared to traditional fixed braces, making the treatment more convenient for you.

Dentists recommend that you wear the Inman aligner for between eighteen and twenty hours a day for maximum benefit of treatment. This means, however, that it can be taken out when eating or cleaning teeth, again reducing the impact a brace has on your life.
