A few years ago, metal braces were the only option when people wanted to straighten their teeth and improve their bite. Technological innovations in dentistry in recent years have added a whole new dimension to teeth straightening and patients can now transform their smile discreetly with invisible braces.
Invisible braces in Luton mean that local residents don’t have to live with crooked and gapped teeth. Invisalign helps teeth reposition with the aid of invisible aligners, whereas Six Month Smiles are fixed, discreet braces that are made of tooth-coloured brackets and unobtrusive wires. All these options, and many more, are available by certified dentists in Luton, including Vogue Dental Care.
A discreet solution
Invisible braces in Luton are hardly noticeable. This is because they are made of discreet but durable materials such as transparent plastic or tooth-coloured porcelain. These braces are ideal for teenagers, public-facing professionals and people who think that metal braces can seriously compromise their image.
Convenience
Invisalign invisible braces are removable, meaning that patients do not have to wear them when they eat or brush their teeth. The aligners can also be removed for a special occasion. However, Invisalign aligners require commitment and dedication to the treatment. Failing to wear them consistently for most of the day (up to 22 hours) can cause problems and delay the overall treatment.
As effective as regular braces
Cosmetic invisible braces in Luton are not only discreet, they are also effective. Depending on a patient’s dental problems, they can fix mild to moderate alignment issues as well as bite problems. However, prospective patients should be aware that invisible braces cannot deal with complicated dental issues such as twisted or rotated teeth, or other serious jaw-related issues.
Quicker treatment
Six Month Smiles patients typically have their teeth moved into their correct position in 4-9 months. This is because these braces do not move tooth roots as normal braces do. Moreover, Invisalign patients can have their teeth straightened 12-18 months, though complex misalignments may take longer.
Consistent results
Invisible braces offer consistent results as long as patients follow certain guidelines and visit the dentist for check-ups and adjustments regularly.
