Teeth Straightening For Adults
Teeth can be straightened using either orthodontics or veneers or a combination of both. Only mild to moderate crowding or protrusion can be aligned with veneers alone, but orthodontics can straighten any teeth, however severely misaligned.
Orthodontics
All the new rapid and less-visible orthodontic options mean that more and more adults are choosing to straighten (and whiten) their healthy teeth. We offer rapid and clear removable appliances such as the Inman Aligner and AngelAlign. We also offer fixed orthodontics with tooth coloured or clear braces.
The Inman Aligner
The Inman Aligner, a new cutting edge procedure, is the fastest way to straighten teeth with a removable appliance. It is excellent for aligning mainly just crowding of the front incisor teeth. For adults this the most common form of crowding so it can be used in many different cases. Treatment times typically take from 6 to 16 weeks with most minor crowding corrected in 8 weeks or less.
Rapid Clear Braces (Six Month Smiles)
Clear Braces are a low-visibility alternative to traditional metal braces, and with cutting edge tooth coloured Nickel-Titanium archwires move teeth quickly and comfortably. Treatment times are typically from 4 – 9 months making this the most time and cost efficient fixed braces system available.
Clear Aligners (AngelAlign, ClearCorrect)
A Virtual 3D model of your teeth is sent to the USA or Australia where a series of near invisible clear aligners are fabricated for you. These are changed every fortnight to push your teeth into a straighter position. The invisible aligners make it easy to enjoy a beautiful, healthy bite without conventional brackets and wires.
