Metal braces are normally the first thought that comes to mind when straightening your teeth is brought up. This is probably because they have been a very effective form of dentistry for many years.
Unfortunately, you may also have to deal with some disadvantages compared to clear braces in Buckinghamshire. With traditional fixed metal braces, they are highlighted with elastics that stand out against your natural teeth.
Fixed braces are also known to be quite uncomfortable for some patients and can create forced shifts in teeth caused by frequent tightening appointments.
With fixed metal braces, you also have to have a change in your diet to avoid damage to your teeth and even avoid hard or sticky foods. They also involve a more complicated dental routine that requires additional cleaning equipment.
These woes and worries can be over at Garden View with our clear braces in Buckinghamshire.
Your future is clear
Clear braces in Buckinghamshire are made of an almost invisible plastic, making them less visible than traditional fixed metal braces. This fact alone is a big reason why so many of our patients have decided to have clear braces, rather than go down the traditional route of fixed metal braces.
How do they work?
At your initial consultation with one of our experienced and dedicated dentists, an x-ray of your teeth is taken. From this we can decide if your teeth are suitable for clear braces in Buckinghamshire.
Once we know your teeth are suitable, several sets of aligners are made, each specifically tailored to the shape of your mouth and teeth. Each set is worn for two weeks before being replaced and they are even very easy to remove for eating and brushing.
At Garden View, we recommended that you wear them FOR 22-23 hours a day in order to achieve the best results.
