Discreet braces and aligners – the secret path to straighter teeth

Discreet braces and aligners – the secret path to straighter teeth

6th September 2016

Subtle braces are becoming increasingly popular with adults who want to straighten their teeth. At Denchic Dental Spa in North London we know that discretion is a key element of tooth straightening treatment for adults, as few people want to walk around with an obvious metal brace on show for months or even years. That is why we are proud to offer our clients some far less obvious options. . .

The good news is that when you come into our North London dental spa for a tooth straightening consultation, it won’t just be the aesthetic appeal of your smile that is boosted. Of course it goes without saying that a set of beautifully aligned, bright, white teeth are pretty high on most people’s cosmetic dentistry wish list, but the benefits of treatment with braces or aligners go further than that.

In the simplest of terms, it is easier to keep your teeth clean when they are properly aligned. Even if you practise excellent oral hygiene at home, when your teeth are gappy, ill-spaced, crooked, crowded, or otherwise misaligned, there will be areas that are tricky to clean properly, which can cause plaque to build up.

Because plaque causes both gum disease and tooth decay – which in turn lead to tooth loss – using braces or aligners to straighten your teeth, combined with regular visits to the dentist and hygienist at Denchic Dental Spa in North London can reduce your risk of these serious conditions.

North London braces and aligners

We use both discreet fixed braces and clear, removable aligners at our North London dental spa. When you come for a consultation with a cosmetic dentist, they will determine which is the best treatment option to suit your individual needs.

Six Month Smiles are cosmetic, tooth-coloured braces that work rapidly to correct issues affecting the front six teeth in either or both jaws.

The Inman Aligner also corrects issues such as protrusion with the front teeth. Treatment takes weeks rather than months.

Invisalign is a system of clear, removable aligners that can perform more extensive correction. The aligners fit comfortably over your teeth.
