These days, unless you have some severe problems with your bite, you can pretty much expect that there is some form of clear braces that will be able to deal with your individual alignment issues.

At Garden View Dental Care, we know that adults who want to get their teeth straightened are going to be looking for clear braces in Buckinghamshire. That’s why we offer both fixed and removable clear braces.

In Buckinghamshire, clear braces are particularly suitable for adults with mild alignment issues because they offer the discretion that people with busy public-facing jobs, or positions of responsibility require. Such people do not want to have to wear braces that evoke images of awkward adolescence, or attract unwanted stares or personal questions.

Fixed, clear braces in Buckinghamshire

This type of braces comes to you under the brand name of Six Month Smiles, so called because it takes on average six months to align the teeth. This brand aims to align the front six social teeth only. These are the teeth that are mostly on display when we talk and smile. Six Months Smiles uses a modern twist on the tried and trusted fixed bracket and wire braces method. As it is only concerned with moving the front teeth, which have fewer roots, the forces required are much gentler. This means that the brackets are smaller and made of clear ceramic instead of metal. They are strung together with fine, tooth-coloured wire, and are much more comfortable.

Removable aligner clear braces in Buckinghamshire

Aligners work on a different principle. They look like very thin, clear, rigid plastic mouth guards. You wear a series of them, each for about two weeks, in an incremental order. The mild mis-fitting of each one is different and used to nudge the teeth along to alignment. Aligners are removable for eating and teeth cleaning. The smooth plastic won’t rub and create sores inside the cheeks. It is important that they be worn for at least 20 hours a day to stay on schedule for alignment.
