If you can’t wait to straighten your teeth, but feel uncomfortable at the prospect of wearing metal braces for months or even years, then you needn’t worry. With clear braces, you can align your teeth and smile at the same time. Keep reading to find out how’s this possible.

At Clapham South Dental Centre, we offer clear braces that are either tooth-coloured or can be removed occasionally, compared to metal brackets and wires which are constantly attached to the teeth. Clear braces in Clapham are designed to deliver results efficiently and, above all, discreetly.

Exclusive benefits of clear braces in Clapham

Most people opt for clear braces, because they don’t want to wear metal braces. Clear braces are almost invisible, but that’s not their only benefit.

Some types of clear braces are designed to straighten teeth more quickly than traditional braces, starting from as little as 6 months (i.e. Six Month Smiles braces). More importantly, clear teeth-straightening solutions such as Invisalign aligners are more comfortable than traditional braces because they put less pressure on the teeth and are less likely to harm your gums, since they are made of plastic. Finally, Invisalign aligners are not attached to the teeth – you can remove them any time you want to brush your teeth or eat your food.

Can I have clear braces?

Sadly, clear braces cannot fix all types of teeth-straightening problems. As long as your teeth are moderately misaligned and you don’t have any serious bite problems, then you can benefit from clear braces in Clapham. Otherwise, your dentist may recommend an alternative teeth-straightening method. It’s not unusual for patients to switch from metal braces to clear braces once their teeth do not require substantial movement.

Do clear braces hurt?

Clear braces do not hurt because they usually put less pressure on the teeth. Moreover, Invisalign aligners are made of smooth plastic and they cannot hurt the inside of your mouth, no matter how hard you try.
