Thanks to advances in dental technology there are many different types of braces available to help straighten your teeth. Teeth straightening is commonly sought after here at Clapham South Dental Centre and we have different treatment options available to help you achieve more even teeth which are not only beautiful to look at, but also help promote better dental health.

Crooked teeth not only affect the appearance of your smile but are more prone to the development of dental problems. This is because there is greater build-up of plaque and tartar on your teeth as there are more hard-to-reach areas in which bacteria and food particles can linger even after brushing. Plaque and tartar are the main cause of most dental issues. Over time they can cause cavities and tooth decay, as well as gum disease and eventually tooth loss. By addressing the misalignment issues of your teeth early on in life you will be able to maintain better dental hygiene and therefore prevent more serious complications in the future.

Clear braces Clapham give you a discreet and effective solution for correcting the maladjustment of your teeth, to achieve a healthy, neatly aligned smile. There are different types of clear braces Clapham designed to suit your individual dental requirements and your personal preferences.

Call us here at the surgery or book an appointment online using our website to find out more about clear braces Clapham. Our highly skilled dentists will carry out a comprehensive examination of your teeth and gums to make sure that they are safe to move. We will also carry out a smile assessment using X-rays and 3-dimensional scans where necessary to show you how the unevenness of your teeth can be corrected using clear braces Clapham.

Fixed braces

For complicated orthodontic cases our dentist can recommend fixed clear braces to help straighten your teeth. These include invisible or tooth coloured brackets and wires which are attached to the surface of your teeth and designed to pull your teeth into a neater alignment. This is a discreet alternative to traditional orthodontic braces. They are the most effective at correcting much more complex conditions of the teeth and will do so without drawing any extra attention to your mouth.

Invisalign

If you have mild or moderate misalignment of the teeth then you may wish to speak to us and find out about clear aligners for correcting this. Invisalign is one of the most popular examples of clear aligners for teeth straightening. It works using thermoplastic aligners which are worn in the mouth and as the name suggests they are almost invisible. They work by pushing your teeth into a neater alignment, they are highly convenient as they can be taken out of your mouth and replaced as necessary. They are also more comfortable when worn and they are designed to fit over your teeth with accuracy and precision.
