Over time, more and more people are wanting to straighten their smile, but without drawing added attention to their mouth during the process. This is why clear braces in Clapham are only growing in popularity, and our results can prove this. You can choose between a fixed or removable appliance, each one bringing their own advantages. Our removable appliances, such as Invisalign, are great if you are looking for more mild movement. The fixed brace is great for more severe cases, as it uses more force to move your teeth.
Our dentists at Clapham South Dental Care are dedicated to helping you achieve the look you want, whilst feeling welcome and comfortable when you visit our practice. Our mix of high-quality braces, with a friendly service from our staff, is the perfect route to straightening your smile.
What’s the process?
When you choose to have our Clapham clear braces, you will firstly have a consultation appointment with us. These appointments are important in ensuring that you are eligible for the treatment, and it can allow us to examine your teeth to see what movement is needed.
If all goes well and you are eligible, we will plan out which teeth are being moved and apply the braces accordingly. Attaching the brackets includes us applying a small amount of glue to the center of the tooth. The brackets are then attached in between these and tightened as they should be. This will be done in one appointment, and then you will most likely have tightening appointments every now and again to further move your teeth. The treatment time always varies depending on your needs, and the severity of the case.
Once you have completed the treatment and had your braces removed, we can clean the teeth to finish off your new look. You will really see the difference that these clear braces at Clapham make. We recommend that you use retainers once you have completed the treatment to make sure that your teeth don’t try and move back to their original position.
Advantages of clear braces
The ability to mix the effectiveness of fixed braces, whilst keeping a discreet look throughout, is what makes this such an ideal treatment for those who don’t want to draw extra attention to their mouth. If you are someone who has a more active social life, or meet a lot of people within your job, it is always nice to feel as confident as possible, and this treatment can help with this, both during and after the treatment.
The durability of these braces is also an advantage that you can enjoy, the wires and brackets used are strong and can withstand maximum usage. This technique of using the two to create a brace has been used for a long time, and is known to be effective.
Due to these braces giving a more mild movement of your teeth than some other options, it means that they are more comfortable. This is a great benefit when you are wearing the braces all day, as you don’t want constant discomfort whilst trying to straighten your teeth.
