Braces remain the best way, in many cases, for a dentist or orthodontist to straighten your teeth. However, at Victoria Road Dental Clinic in Ruislip, we understand that the thought of wearing standard metal appliances for anything up to two years can be as bad, or even worse, than the thought of being stuck with misaligned teeth. That’s why we are delighted to offer a number of discreet alternatives.
Orthodontic treatment using braces is now seen as standard for UK children and teenagers. But an increasing number of adults are also recognising the benefits of orthodontics – if only it didn’t have to mean wearing metal train-tracks for months on end.
The good news is, it doesn’t have to. Discreet orthodontics is one of the fastest-growing areas of modern dentistry, so if you are an adult interested in subtler ways your dentist can straighten your teeth, we invite you to join us at our Ruislip clinic for a consultation.
Discreet orthodontics uses either tooth-coloured braces or clear aligners to adjust the position of your teeth. In many cases, treatment times are considerably shorter than with standard orthodontic devices.
When you come into our Ruislip practice for an orthodontic consultation, your dentist will examine your teeth and get to know a bit about your lifestyle, your wants and needs from treatment, so that they can recommend the best option to suit your individual case.
Treatments at our Ruislip practice include:
Invisalign
These clear aligners, sometimes described as “invisible braces”, fit over your teeth and guide them into a new position. They are removable, meaning they have minimal impact on your lifestyle, and make maintaining dental hygiene during treatment a breeze.
Six Month Smiles
These cosmetic braces blend in with the natural colour of your teeth, and have an average treatment time of half a year. They work so fast because they focus on the front teeth – those on display when you smile.
