If you feel that your crooked teeth are ruining your smile then you might want to know exactly what clear braces offers Manchester patients? The fact of the matter is that clear braces Manchester carry out the same task as conventional metallic braces, except they offer a discreet alternative. Lets take a closer look.
There are in essence several types of clear brace. Firstly there’s the aligner type brace that’s worn like an invisible gum shield over the teeth. Secondly there’s the conventional clear bracket and tooth-coloured wire type that are connected to the front teeth. The final type are what are known as lingual braces. Manchester orthodontists recommend these for many patients because rather than attaching them to the front of the teeth, they’re fitted to the back of the teeth making them virtually invisible. They’re all designed to carry out the same tasks and that is to straighten teeth for that aesthetically appealing smile, align the tooth root, and make sure a patent’s overall bite is correct.
What about treatment time scales – What can clear braces offer patients in this respect?
Total orthodontic treatment works by applying gradual and gentle pressure to the teeth which in turn forces them back into the right direction. The procedure is suited to anyone with crooked, twisted, or flared teeth and can also help those who have a slight gap in between their teeth. Because gradual pressure is applied over a period of time it isn’t a quick fix solution, therefore patients can expect to wear clear braces in Manchester for anything from 12 months to 3 years, depending upon the degree of orthodontics required.
What about accelerated treatments?
There are many speedy orthodontic treatments available and what accelerated clear braces offers Manchester patients is a relatively quick solution to the problem of crooked teeth. We mentioned earlier that total orthodontic treatment isn’t a quick fix solution so isn’t this a contradiction? Well, yes and no! Firstly accelerated treatments have been proven to work and they can straighten teeth in as little as four months. Treatments such as C-Fast and Six Month Smiles for example have proven very popular. That said they can’t fix the other aspects of orthodontic treatments such as tooth root alignment and bite correction. Therefore accelerated orthodontic treatments do work but only for those whose primary concern is the aesthetic appeal of their smile.
The bottom line is that clear braces offers Manchester patients the chance to fix crooked teeth but in a discreet way. Lingual braces Manchester for example are a perfect solution for those who want to socialise but feel particularly self conscious about wearing more visible forms of brace and for this reason they tend to suit the needs of many people.
