‘Invisible braces’ is a broad term for essentially more subtle types of orthodontics. Individuals who may wish to undergo more discreet forms of orthodontics may be of an older age, and may not want obvious orthodontics to hinder their career, or professional prospects. More subtle forms of braces are much preferred by younger individuals too, who may suffer from low self-esteem. At our practice, Vogue Dental Care, we fully understand that your self-esteem may link directly to the appearance of your smile. When meeting individuals, the first thing they may look at is your smile, which is why we understand that our patients may strive to reach their goal smile, in the alignment of their teeth.
Are there different forms of invisible braces?
When individuals think of subtle forms of orthodontic dentistry, they may simply think of clear aligners, however there are other forms of discreet orthodontics, such as Inman aligners.
What are orthodontics?
Orthodontics are essentially a form of dentistry that aims to result in straighter, and generally improved looking teeth. Individuals who may choose to undergo any form of orthodontics may wish to solve their dental imperfections. Orthodontics are not a form of cosmetic dentistry, so therefore does not improve the discolouration (intrinsic and extrinsic staining) of the teeth, but simply the alignment of the teeth within the mouth. Individuals who suffer from low self-esteem and may wish to improve their dental confidence may choose to undergo a form of orthodontics at their local dental practice. Individuals with wonky teeth or an overbite may consider all options of orthodontics.
What are traditional metal braces, and why may I consider an alternative?
Traditional metal braces may be the first form of orthodontics that comes to mind when individuals hear the word ‘braces’. Traditional metal braces may be worn for several years, and are traditionally linked with younger individuals who may undergo orthodontics. Individuals may choose an alternative if they do not wish to undergo visible orthodontics.
How do traditional metal braces work?
Traditional metal braces work essentially by slowly encouraging the direction of teeth movement. Metal brackets are adhered to the surface of the teeth, using a special dental glue/adhesive. These metal brackets are also attached to a wire metal which spreads across the top and bottom row of the teeth. Traditional metal braces can straighten the teeth quickly, although it may take several months or even years to maintain the alignment results.
