Straightening your Teeth in London SE1
06 / 12 / 2012
There are a lot of techniques and treatments in dentistry over the last 20 years that have become an art form in their own right and help to keep your mouth healthy throughout your lives- one such area of expertise that has rather adopted the painter’s beret is orthodontics (teeth straightening to you). In very intricate and extreme cases, the braces need to be made bespoke to the work that they have to do and the more complex the treatment you require, the more complex the wire-work you will need in your mouth and even though it will be beneficial to you in the end, it will not look that pretty. But generally, most people can buy off-the-shelf ones to suit specific peculiar conditions in their mouths; there has been a huge range of devices come onto the market to cover all these requirements. How your brace or aligner looks has become a very important factor when people choose and the industry has got its act together on this problem. Most fixed braces you can buy use materials that are colored to match your teeth and so become more discreet when they sit in your mouth. Others however have taken discretion to the ultimate level- invisibility: there are a few clear aligners flying around London SE1 made from transparent materials that are virtually impossible to detect in the mouth. Speed of treatment is also an important factor and most work faster than ever before and in one particular case, as quick as 6 weeks!
