Braces in Dublin
It's never been easier to get perfectly straight and healthy teeth thanks to the array of orthodontic options readily available to get you smiling again here at Seapoint Clinic. From invisible braces, six month braces and conventional braces - we can get you smiling with renewed confidence and energy thanks to our incredible team. You'd be surprised by how many people we hear from on a daily basis who simply don't know where to begin when it comes to orthodontic treatment. How do you know which braces suit your specific needs and why? However, the most important thing is that you're taking those first steps into improving both your oral and overall health. So, let's look at the options readily available for you.
Six Month Braces
Among our most popular forms of treatment, Six Month Braces allow you to regain your smile in record time. Six Month Braces focus on straightening your front teeth, meaning we don't alter your bite or back teeth whatsoever as the results are purely for aesthetic purposes, giving you a great looking natural smile. Six Month Braces are available in both traditional metal and see-through finish braces. Our see-through braces are popular among patients of all ages, especially those who wish to keep their treatment as discreet as possible.
Our white braces are tooth coloured, so they match the shade of your natural teeth and are by far more popular than their metal counterpart.
In some cases, patients may have previously worn braces but have since found their teeth have slowly shifted out of place over time, making Six Month Braces an ideal solution.
Orthodontics allows us to give you perfectly straight teeth, a healthy smile and renewed confidence. Here at Seapoint Clinic, there's a wide variety of treatments to suit you.

Invisalign/Invisible Braces
Invisalign, or Invisible Braces, are ideal for those who may have put off much needed orthodontic treatment due to the thought of wearing metal braces. Instead, Invisalign allows us to carefully straighten your teeth in the most discreet manner possible. Unlike conventional braces, there are no metal wiring or braces. Instead, we use a series of custom-made clear aligners which are replaced every 2-3 weeks over the period of your treatment. On average, treatment can take about one year to complete but may go quicker where fewer movements are needed. Your Invisalign aligners are also completely removable, so you can eat, drink and ever brush your teeth as normal throughout the entirety of your treatment!
Fixed Braces
Fixed braces are the most common form of orthodontic treatment and are often referred to as 'train tracks'. This tried and tested technique carefully aligns your teeth over time in comfort and thanks to modern designs and improvements, are smaller and quicker than in years gone by. They are also proven to straighten your teeth in a quicker time than Invisalign and are widely available in ceramic brackets, to make for a more aesthetically pleasing smile.
