Having a brace or an aligner fitted today in central London doesn’t come with the ridicule and stigma that used to befall anyone that had to wear them in the past because the technology and design that has gone into the art of orthodontics has become quite breathtaking: someone has clearly listened to the tales of woe of past wearers, taken complaints on board and upped there game. With this also comes an incredible range of choice for anyone about to have braces fitted. For a start, most fixed braces around have taken into account the vanity angle behind wearing them and they are now manufactured from more discreet materials. But when it comes to ultimate discretion, some of the aligners on the market are manufactured from transparent plastic which makes them almost invisible in the mouth, as well as being removable too. Another thing about modern aligners and braces is the attention to detail that has been put into their design in order to bring treatment times down: some complex treatments will always take time, but some of these new devices can work any where from six weeks to a year and that, along with how they look, is one of the most important factors taken into account by the people who have to wear them.
