Orthodontics is a form of dentistry that often demands the use of braces. Braces have evolved from the hefty metal contraptions dubbed ‘train tracks’ – it’s possible to use invisible braces now in orthodontics. But aside from aesthetic concerns, orthodontics raises questions on oral hygiene.

When you see a picture of a celebrity on the red carpet flashing a dazzling smile at the paparazzi, chances are they’ve had some cosmetic dentistry work done. And, if their teeth used to be really crooked, they may have used the high-technology clear aligners system developed by Invisalign London. The system is ideal for celebrities who need their teeth correcting, because the almost invisible aligners mean they can continue their professional work and make public appearances without anyone knowing they are undergoing treatment. Invisalign London is the orthodontic treatment of choice for actors, singers, models and sports stars. And this is why.

Anyone who wore braces as a child will remember the embarrassment and discomfort they felt with a mouthful of metal. So the prospect of wearing braces in adulthood is even more terrifying – until you realise that there is now an alternative option. Clear braces have transformed the way that teeth are being straightened across the globe, and people who might otherwise have suffered with uncomfortable, awkward and highly visible metal braces, are finding that their treatment can be simple and discreet.

Long gone are the days when the only choice an orthodontics patient had was between varying metal and wire contraptions that looked ugly and felt awful on the teeth. Gone are the days of getting food stuck in braces, and having to forego favourite meals because they weren’t compatible with a mouth full of metal. Gone is the embarrassment of wearing highly visible metal braces that make you feel self-conscious about your appearance. Now, people who need their teeth straightening, their bite correcting and gaps closing, can turn to an exciting orthodontics system that utilises the latest technologies to make treatment simple, effortless and convenient.

Orthodontics can strike fear into the heart of dental patients of all ages. The prospect of spending months, even years, wearing an ugly, uncomfortable metal brace is far from appealing. Fortunately, there is now an exciting new alternative that can straighten teeth in half the time of old-fashioned braces, as well as offering numerous user-friendly features. The most popular system is the Invisalign clear aligners, which offers the latest technology in orthodontics to create beautifully straight teeth. This is how it works.
