A patient came to Time Dental recently looking to improve her smile. She was always unhappy with her upper front four teeth which protruded at different angles. She did not want to have fixed train track braces and had heard about invisible braces for adults and wanted to know more about it.
On assessing her mouth she had crowding and overlapping of her upper incisors. She was a good candidate for both the Invisalign clear aligner system as well as the Inman aligner.
Invisalign invisible braces uses a series of clear aligners that gradually move your teeth over a period of time. They are virtually invisible and since they are removable you can eat what you normally eat and brush and clean your teeth far easier than with train track braces. The treatment can take between 8-24 months depending on the severity of the crowding.
The Inman aligner is also a removable brace. Although it has clear parts to it, it is slightly more visible than the clear aligners. However it can move teeth in a matter of weeks! Treatment can take typically 8-16 weeks. This orthodontic appliance is great if you want fast results. As it is removable you can also eat normally and brush your teeth as normal.
Both options are a fantastic way for straightening teeth for adults so you can have the smile you have always wanted.
Time Dental provides this service in Farnham, Fleet, Winchester and Alton, as well as other areas in Surrey, Hampshire, Berkshire and West sussex.
