Moreover, teeth straightening with clear braces in Clapham can restore your speaking and chewing ability. No more lisps or digestion problems because of crooked teeth.

How long do I have to wear clear braces?

In general, treatment with braces can usually last from 18 to 24 months, with the average treatment with clear braces in Clapham taking up to 18 months.
