Clear Fixed Braces
Clear fixed braces are a modern alternative to the traditional metal braces most people picture when they think about braces. Clear braces use translucent brackets instead of the metal ones, these bond to the front of the teeth and have a much more subtle “barely there” appearance. Fixed braces are able to predictably correct the most complex crowding issues and often in the shortest time.
Invisalign
Invisalign is a great way to straighten teeth to produce the perfect smile without the need for wires. It is considered more comfortable and discreet than fixed braces. The teeth are straightened by a series of removable ‘aligners’, which are clear, custom made trays worn throughout the day. They need to be worn for 22 hours a day but can be removed whilst eating, helping this type of treatment fit in with your lifestyle Brushing your teeth to keep them healthy during treatment is much easier than with fixed braces.
