There's no age limit when it comes to getting a healthy, happy, natural smile. In fact, more and more people are now opting for braces well into their 70s! Thanks to advancements made in dental techniques and technology, treatment is now more discreet than ever. Long gone are the days of bulky, metal braces - replaced with sleek, invisible designs. So, what options are available to you?

Invisalign/Clear Braces

Invisalign uses a set of custom-made clear aligners which gently move your teeth into their correct position to provide you with a perfect, natural smile. On average, treatment can take about a year to complete but may go faster where fewer movements are required. Invisalign is the ideal treatment for anyone who may have been put off seeking orthodontics at the prospect of wearing conventional metal braces. As they are completely clear, most people won't even realise you are having treatment! Even better, they are removable meaning you can eat, drink and even brush your teeth as normal throughout treatment!

Six Month Braces

Six Month Braces are among our most popular forms of treatment. As they focus solely on the front teeth, the goal of Six Month Braces is purely cosmetic as we don't alter your bite whatsoever. If your goal is to change your bite or move a lot of the back teeth you may still need to get conventional braces which may take longer.

With Six Month Braces we are able to offer both see through braces and metal finish braces. The white braces are tooth coloured and while they do cost slightly more, they are very discreet. These braces are much more inconspicuous than the metal finish braces and often go unnoticed on the patient. They are ideal for those who want their braces to be as discreet as possible.

Fixed Braces

Fixed braces are the most common type of orthodontic treatment. Quite often referred to as 'train tracks', they can fine tune the position of your teeth and thanks to modern techniques and designs are far more discreet than in years gone by.
