There are few people who want to hear the words ‘you need braces’ from their dentists, especially if you have an important event like a wedding or a graduation coming up.

Although a common procedure, orthodontic braces are not popular among adults and teenagers, due to their obvious appearance. This has led to more and more people refusing to undergo treatment with braces, which can have a long-term impact on confidence, well-being and social interaction.

As dentistry has advanced, there are now more options available for teenagers and adults who have minor to moderate alignment issues in their mouth, most of which are discreet and removable. At Garden View Dental Care, we are proud to be able to offer our suitable patients clear braces in Beaconsfield, which can straighten your smile without the need for traditional, metal braces.

What are clear braces?

Our dental team can offer clear braces in Beaconsfield to patients who have mild to moderate alignment issues with their front teeth, along with other common issues like overcrowding or bad spacing.

Our clear braces in Beaconsfield are comprised of either clear or enamel coloured brackets that are attached to the front of your teeth, with a wire running across the front of these brackets. This wire may also be coloured to match your teeth making it more discreet in appearance.

Once fitted, your dentist will periodically tighten the wire, which will create a slight amount of pressure, causing your teeth to move. This is more comfortable that the tightening experienced in orthodontic braces and has a more predictable long term outcome.

Advantages of clear braces

There are many brands of clear braces but at Garden View Dental Care, our most popular clear brace is the Six Months Smile aligner.

Faster treatment time

As the name suggests, the average treatment time with this brace is around six months in duration, meaning it is a much faster alternative than traditional braces; perfect if you have a wedding coming up!

Discreet brackets and wires

We all remember a friend in school who had white elastic bands on their orthodontic braces, trying to make them appear more discreet.

The Six Months Smile aligner comes with either clear or tooth coloured brackets, minimising the appearance of the brace. Depending on the discretion of your dentist when these braces are fitted, you may be able to get a tooth coloured wire, so it is much harder to notice the brace at a first glance.

Affordability

When compared with traditional orthodontic treatment, based on the duration time of the clear brace and the overall results, they are good value for money.

Many dental surgeries, including ours, offer dental or payment plans, allowing you to spread the cost of your treatment over several months.
