Want orthodontic work but don’t want anyone to know besides you and your dentist? Well, you have come to the right place. Let us guide you through the variety of methods available to discreetly realign those pearly whites.

Clearstep

Treatment with Clearstep consists of several thin, clear, plastic aligners which are often compared to ultra-thin sports mouth guards. Treatment with Clearstep work in increments, meaning your teeth will gradually be pushed into position by one aligner and, once the time is right, you will then move onto another aligner which will pick up where the other left off. The aligners are more comfortable than conventional fixed braces and can be removed, which can be very handy for cleaning your teeth. Treatment with Clearstep last roughly the same amount of time as conventional treatment (9 – 18 months) but no one will realise you are having it done!

Lingual braces

Lingual braces are a form of hidden fixed brace treatment. Lingual braces are fixed on the inside of your teeth, out of sight from everyone. Treatments which work in increments have many advantages, but their big downfall is the influence of human error: Aligners need to be worn for between 20 and 22 hours a day (on average). Failure to do so can greatly delay treatment and undo progress. With lingual braces, you never risk forgetting to put them back on.

Inman aligner

This aligner offers an incredibly swift form of treatment, but it is most appropriate for those whose front teeth have had an orthodontic relapse. The Inman aligner is a near invisible device which adds continuous gentle pressure to your front teeth. What is most impressive about the aligner is the speed with which it operates! Treatment with this aligner can be completed in 2 – 4 months, which is a fraction of the time which conventional treatment can take! Unfortunately, this speedy treatment is only suitable in specific circumstances. Thankfully, at Harley Street Dental Studio in London we will talk you through all the options available to you and which is the most suited!
