Braces no longer need to mean a mouth full of metal, and orthodontic treatment no longer needs to mean a fixed appliance. Victoria Road Dental Clinic in Ruislip recognises the need for more discreet methods of orthodontic treatments, particularly for adults with busy professional and personal lives.
At the VRDC in Ruislip, we believe that dental treatment should fit around your lifestyle as well as suiting your clinical needs. That’s why we offer a number of discreet alternatives to metal train-track braces. Come for a consultation to discover how we can help you straighten your teeth, without everybody knowing you are having treatment.
Ruislipbraces and aligners
Modern orthodontics uses either fixed appliances – braces – or removable appliances – aligners – to subtly move your teeth into a better position.
The best treatment option for your case will depend on your clinical need, as well as on a number of lifestyle factors. Your dentist will perform a thorough clinical examination and will listen to your preferences for treatment when you come for your consultation.
Among the products available at VRDC Ruislip are:
Inman Aligner
An alternative to braces, the Inman Aligner is a single clear aligner that works on the front teeth. It is a good option for treating adult relapse, protrusion and crowding of the front teeth. Using special forces generated by a coil, spring, and bar, the Inman Aligner gently pushes and pulls your teeth into a new position.
Six Month Smiles
Six Month Smiles are cosmetic braces that work, on average, in half a year. They comprise clear and tooth-coloured elements, and focus on the front teeth that show when you smile.
Invisalign
This series of clear aligners can correct a wider range of orthodontic issues. You change your aligner every two weeks as your teeth start to move.
