Braces work wonders for your teeth; the alignment of your teeth not only keeps your bite true and healthy for the future, but it also gives you a pretty and confident smile once the treatment is complete. However, for some people, it can be quite a traumatic time going through this treatment especially if you suffer the wolf-pack ‘ribbing’ and mocking you can get in the playground or at work and this comes directly from the way most traditional braces look in the mouth- a mouthful of silvery wires can often appear very ‘ugly’.
Invisible braces
Today’s braces try to buck this trend: using tooth coloured plates and wires, and that can sometimes be made from transparent materials as well, fixed braces can look exceedingly discreet when they are fitted onto your teeth; and with the technology that goes into the design of modern braces, they will close up the gaps and crookedness in your smile very quickly too. Some fixed braces can also be attached to the inside of the teeth, so these won’t be seen at all.
The most preferred discreet and easy to wear treatments around though come in the form of ‘invisible’ and removable aligners. These are made from a completely clear plastic and once they are in the mouth, they are very hard to detect they are in at all to other people. All forms of modern day orthodontics work hard at being covert in the mouth, whilst ensuring that they close the teeth together with optimum speed and efficiency.
