Your teeth are easier to keep clean when they’re properly aligned. They also look much better, which can help you to feel good about your overall appearance. However, many adults avoid having braces in Buckinghamshire because they fear they might have to wear an eye-catching realignment appliance for an indefinite amount of time. At The Dental Surgery Burnham, this is not the case.

Discreet and efficient braces in Buckinghamshire

​​Contemporary realignment methods like Invisalign are discreet, comfortable, and efficient. Your teeth will gradually be moved into improved positions by a series of clear plastic aligners. The aligners are removable, and are nowhere near as visible as the traditional braces that stay attached to the teeth. You can take them out of your mouth when it’s time to eat or look after your oral hygiene.

Your treatment will begin with a detailed consultation at our friendly dental practice. If Invisalign is the right way to bring about the changes you want, we’ll take some detailed measurements of your mouth, and create a treatment plan.

Your personal series of clear plastic aligners will then be precisely crafted by a dental laboratory. You’ll spend a couple of weeks wearing a set of these aligners, before moving on to the next one. Because each aligner’s shape is different, your teeth will be gradually moved into improved positions.

Duration and benefits

Using this modern method, the time you spend wearing braces in Buckinghamshire will usually be around 12-18 months. Of course, the dentist will let you know exactly how long it will take before you begin. Plus, once the aligners have come off, you’ll probably have to wear a retainer at night, to help the teeth get used to their new positions.

Once the treatment is complete, you’ll notice an improvement in your smile. As well as this, your teeth will function more efficiently, putting less strain on your jaw. The risk of gum disease and tooth decay will be reduced, because there’ll be fewer awkward spaces amongst the teeth in which food debris and bacteria can hide.

OHaving braces in Buckinghamshire is a long-term investment in your dental function and aesthetic appeal. Our contemporary methods are comfortable, discreet and efficient.
