There’s been many impressive portmanteaus that are successful to this day, take for example, brunch (breakfast and lunch), smog (smoke and fog), motel (motor and hotel) and now – Invisalign.

Renowned cosmetic Dental Surgeon, Dr Mark Hughes has recently opened the Harley Street Dental Studio. The new practice, based in the heart of the professional private medical community, uses groundbreaking techniques that are set to transform dentistry in the UK.

We answer some common questions about one of the most advanced orthodontic treatments: Invisalign ‘invisible’ braces.

There is nothing more disheartening than knowing each time you smile you are revealing a mouth full of chipped, cracked or crooked teeth, big gaps, a gummy smile or even missing teeth. If you want to get your perfect smile back, the dental veneers are the best possible option. Most of the Hollywood superstars have had dental veneers fitted to give them their mega-watt smiles, and there’s no reason why you can’t have them too.

When it comes to wearing braces as an adult, it can be hard coming to terms with the fact that people will be able to see what dental work you are having done, and it can leave you feeling demoralized and scared to undergo the necessary treatment.

Celebrities are famed for always wanting to look their best. Becoming famous in their twenties may have meant that their lack of dentistry in their early years has left them with unsightly, misaligned teeth. This can be fixed with orthodontics, and more and more celebrities are undergoing treatment to make their teeth sparkling.

Katherine Heigl, star of “The Ringer” and “27 Dresses”, admitted in 2007 that she had undergone treatment for her crooked teeth and wore Invisalign clear braces in the months before her wedding so she could look super stunning on the day, with perfectly straight teeth.

When you think of orthodontics, you might be thinking of hours in the dentists’ chair and a brace that leaves you looking like you have a mouth full of metal. This is not the case anymore, and some celebrities have taken the plunge and decided to get the help they so desperately need in order to correct their crooked teeth.

Orthodontics is increasingly popular with adults for a variety of reasons – more of us are realising how important a good smile is. Simple things like feeling ashamed of crooked front teeth can lead to a lifetime of photo albums consisting of covered mouths or smile-less shots. Many people who have experienced this feeling long for the day when they can flash a big, white, straight smile at the camera. Orthodontics makes that happen. British patients are fast catching up with their American counterparts, where teeth are seen as crucial in how attractive we are. Big, white, beautiful teeth are not things we are born with – orthodontics help make that happen.

The proliferation of beauty programmes that transform ugly ducklings into overnight swans is probably one of the reasons why more of us are turning to orthodontics and clear braces. Fixing our teeth through cosmetic dentistry, from using clear braces to straighten crooked teeth to fixing veneers is one of the fastest growing industries in the beauty trade. Clear braces have transformed how adults approach getting treatment for crooked teeth as the horror of wearing clunky metal braces is now no longer a necessity, thanks to clear braces.

Invisalign London is helping residents of the capital to change the stereotype that the English have bad teeth with its high-tech system of clear plastic retainers. Instead of being the butt of bad jokes about crooked or gappy teeth, Londoners will now be able to hold their heads up high and dazzle with their smiles. Invisalign’s London patients are enjoying the freedom of using the system, which offers a comfortable and convenient alternative to ugly, clunky metal braces. Here’s how:

Teenagers with braces are an easy target for bullies, earning them cruel nicknames like “metal mouth” and “tin grin”. At such a sensitive age, when children are already highly self-conscious, wearing obvious metal braces can just add to the agony. Severe bullying can have repercussions into adulthood, and could dent a child’s confidence so badly that they have a permanently low self-image. However, there is now a solution to put a stop to the torment of teen brace-wearers. Invisalign is a system of almost-invisible clear plastic aligners that make adjustments without being seen. So now teenagers can receive the orthodontic treatment they need, without going through any unnecessary suffering.

Crooked, stained and damaged teeth can add years onto your age, no matter how youthful you may otherwise look. Dental veneers are an easy and pain-free procedure to rectify the damage done to your teeth by smoking, poor hygiene or simply by time – as proved by Channel 4 show Ten Years Younger. Presenter Nicky Hambleton-Jones steers every one of her makeover guests into the chair of a cosmetic dentist for porcelain veneers, with stunning results that strip away the years. Here’s how dental veneers could help you look -and feel – many years younger.

Dental veneers could save your love life. In a 2007 nationwide survey of 2558 people, 77% of the respondents put poor dental hygiene in second place as the most unattractive feature in a date (behind body odour). And of the men interviewed, 52% said they wouldn’t kiss their date goodnight if she had bad breath, and 54% claimed that fresh breath was the top factor in creating a great first impression. If your teeth are stained, chipped, crooked, you could be seriously jeopardising your chances of finding love. This is how dental veneers could help.
