Two types of invisible braces
With new medical technologies offering people solutions to a host of medical issues, there is no reason to assume that orthodontics would be any different. In fact, the developments made in the industry in the last 2 decades or so has made it possible for more adults to fix their teeth discreetly with invisible braces in Clapham. With new technologies comes a wider range of options for people to chose from in order to get the most out of their orthodontics for their lifestyles.
Option 1 – Removable appliances
We offer a system called Invisalign which has taken the orthodontic world by storm and transformed 8 million smiles around the world as of February 2020! A removable system is ideal for active people partaking in contact sports or professionals who do public speaking and give presentations, removable appliances like these clear aligners allow you to eat as you normally would and clean your teeth normally too, making it the most convenient appliance on the market.
Main benefits: It’s invisible, as the name suggests Invisalign cannot be seen when worn which makes it the best option for those who are trying to maintain a professional appearance.
Drawbacks: it can be difficult to get into the habit of wearing a clear aligner and forgetting to put it back in after meals may be an issue for some, but with discipline, you can find a routine that works for you.
Option 2 – Fixed appliances
The Damon system is a fixed appliance which offers invisible braces in Clapham that work under the same principle as traditional braces but works much quicker and is far less noticeable as the brackets that are secured to the teeth are clear or tooth coloured.
Main benefits: Damon Clear braces are resistant to staining and do not use elastic ties, providing a superior aesthetic solution for you no matter your profession.
Drawbacks: It can be a little riskier to have braces when playing a full contacts sport, however, we can offer special mouth guards to protect both your mouth and the braces for these types of encounters.
Both systems can take less than a year to get the results you’re looking for with many being complete in 6 months depending on the severity of your orthodontic issues in the first place and neither of them leave any damage on your teeth so you can ensure that your investment is really worthwhile.
