Your Braces Options in Teddington

FASTBRACES® Technologies high performance bracket systems upright the roots of the teeth towards their final position from the beginning of treatment with just one square wire and thus establish the natural alveolar bone morphology naturally.

For patients who prefer a more discreet brace, the brackets are also available in clear, where the wire and brackets blend into the colour of the teeth.

Lingual braces are fixed to the tongue side of the lower front teeth and are used to straighten just this section of teeth.

As they are fixed to the tongue side, they are completely invisible from the outside.

Invisalign is a way of straightening teeth conveniently and discreetly.

Instead of using wires and brackets, Invisalign uses a series of clear aligners that are custom made specifically for you. The look is so discreet that it is difficult to tell somebody is wearing the aligners, even when you are really close to them.

Invisalign is worm for most of the day and night and removed when eating meals. Each clear aligner is worn for 2 weeks.

Also a clear aligner system, In-Line aligners are made in Germany from a patented powerful twin layer plastic material. Each aligner moves teeth by up to 0.6mm and a series of aligners are required to gradually move teeth into their required position.

Each clear aligner is worn for 4 to 6 weeks. They are worn on average 20 hours per day and can be removed for eating, drinking and for social events if necessary. They are transparent, virtually invisible to other people and are very comfortable to wear.

Inman Aligner is a revolutionary teeth straightening system which effectively straightens teeth in as little as 6 to 18 weeks. The system is very gentle and the majority of it sits behind the teeth, with just a discreet clear bar on the front attached to metal springs towards the back. This too is worn for most of the day and night and the forces come from in front of and behind the teeth.

Unlike the clear aligners, one Inman Aligner will do the majority, if not all of the desired tooth movements, possibly requiring one or two clear aligners to complete the treatment.

As you’d expect with any dental treatment, a thorough consultation is needed to assess your specific needs.
