Progressive dental technologies have brought about a revolution in how patients can revitalise their smiles for enhanced physical confidence with the introduction of invisible braces Clapham. With the availability of invisible braces Clapham, patients can embark on their teeth-straightening process without the worry of having the whole world know of it.
Adult patients who have roles that require social interactions and need their teeth straightened have been quick to embrace orthodontic appliances that are discreet and barely discernible to others.
Our friendly dentists at Clapham South Dental Centre support patients who want comfortable and convenient orthodontic solutions and are delighted to make available an array of invisible braces Clapham for patients to choose from. In this post, we take a look at what patients can expect in the range of invisible braces available.
Different types of invisible braces within easy reach
The type of invisible braces that most patients who walk through our doors enquire about is Invisalign. The Invisalign system embraces the use of aligner-like trays made of intuitive medical grade plastic that can be customised for each patient. Each patient on this treatment plan will receive a specific number of trays (depending on their orthodontic situation) that will reposition teeth to achieve the desired result. What is fascinating about the trays is that they are designed to be removed by the patient; therefore, they offer a convenient option for patients who qualify for this orthodontic solution.
Not all invisible braces are designed to be removable. Ceramic and lingual braces are two common types of fixed invisible braces popular with patients. Ceramic braces are similar in design to the traditional metal braces except for the fact that the brackets are tooth-coloured ceramic material as opposed to silver metal.
There is no equal to fixed braces for correcting complex orthodontic issues, and patients who are looking for that ‘invisible’ factor in their orthodontic treatment are prepared to pay a little extra for ceramic braces. Apart from being barely noticeable and superbly effective, another reason why patients opt for ceramic braces is that they are said to sit more comfortably on gums.
Lingual braces may be a surprise to many patients, especially because of where they sit in the mouth – behind teeth. It is this design feature that affords their invisibility status – no one can see them positioned behind the teeth.
Lingual braces have been used to great success in treating a variety of dental issues that involve complex movements. Patients who can opt for lingual braces include those with dental rotation problems, the need to close the gap between extraction spaces, as well as those who require adjusting the height of their teeth.
For image-conscious patients with orthodontic issues, invisible braces have the potential to offer life-changing benefits.
