Most people associate braces with teenagers. However, in recent years the number of adults seeking orthodontic treatment has increased significantly…

It seems that some people are just plain lucky. Some are good at sports which are in turn regarded as celebrities and then there are some born with naturally straight teeth which have no signs of irregularity present. So, what about the rest of who aren’t so lucky?

An interview from the Pink Haired Princess fashion blog with our very own Dr Mark Hughes that looks into Invislaign and its anti-ageiing properties.

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

Tooth gaps seem to be the height of fashion for celebrities at the moment. But is the gappy look for everyone?

Metal braces have a deservedly bad reputation. Not only have they shattered the confidence of millions of teenagers and adults across the world with their ugly, highly visible appearance, but they have also caused untold pain and discomfort in people’s mouths with their horrible wire contraptions. Now there is a way to put a stop to the pain of wearing these Medieval-like devices – clear braces.

Women take pride in their appearance and so it is only natural that this will apply to their teeth, too. However, some women have never been fortunate enough to have orthodontic treatment to correct misaligned teeth, and thus they are left with problem teeth at a later stage in their life. Many women have found the answer though, and you can too.

It is common knowledge that many people are afraid of going to the dentist. When it comes to orthodontics, people are aware that this requires a much more advanced treatment and often try and “put off” ever seeking treatment. However, leaving the problems for too long may just be prolonging the pain, so it is worth finding a specialist dentist to allay your fears.

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.

Many people do not know where to start looking when they have decided they want to make an appointment with a specialist dentist. It is quite a daunting step for some, so making sure you find the right dentist is crucial if you want the right treatment.

Orthodontics can help people that have an array of dental problems. Visiting your regular dentist should help keep problems to a minimum, but sometimes, it calls for more specialist treatment. There is also high demand for orthodontics since people are starting to realise that great looking teeth can change someone’s whole appearance.

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 unlike regular dentistry, it’s a branch of dentistry that specialises in the jaw and teeth, helping those who suffer from a whole host of problems that demand a more tailored approach to help fix a problem. Orthodontics can help those who:

It’s been well-reported in the news that more people in the UK are struggling to get access to a dentist, let alone specialist dentistry such as orthodontics. And the BBC report that the threat to specialist dental work is continuing according to a survey of primary care trusts. Specialist dental treatments are simply not being funded in some areas of the UK; more people are turning to private orthodontists for orthodontic treatments.

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.

Orthodontics can inspire fear in some hearts. In fact just the world ‘orthodontics’ can cause some of us to break out in a sweat. Dentists don’t have the best image. In fact, dentists have been portrayed in a demonic way in some mainstream films, such as Marathon Man. Orthodontics tends to be a more involved kind of dentistry as it fixes problems such as misaligned teeth or overbites. But being scared of the dentist or orthodontics is something that can be overcome. Modern orthodontics mean the right pain relief, sensitive orthodontic dentists and a caring environment can ease your anxiety over orthodontics.

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.

London may have been hit hard by the credit crunch, but it shouldn’t wipe the smile off the faces of those that have opted for clear braces. London may be struggling financially but the crunch has made many people reassess what’s important in their lives. After years of consuming and spending, more people are now thinking twice about what they spend their dwindling bank balances on. And things like feeling attractive and having a reason to smile are more important than wearing the latest fashions or buying the latest gadgets. A winning smile and clear braces, London credit crunch fashion aficionados are realising, are the best thing to invest in.

Clear braces can help thousands of people who feel too self conscious about wearing braces – so much so that they even avoid visiting their dentist or orthodontist. There are plenty of case studies involving adults who have spent years hiding their smile, feeling ashamed of their teeth or just not 100% happy because they were too self conscious to wear braces as a child or teenager. And it’s not surprising that teens and children felt so embarrassed by the old-style, chunky metal braces known as ‘rail tracks’. New devices, such as clear braces are the new tools of today’s orthodontists.

Clear braces are a Godsend for many people. The idea of wearing chunky, unsightly, metal braces to fix teeth you already feel self conscious about is a horrifying thought for many people. Unlike clear braces, metal braces immediately draw attention to your mouth and teeth, and for some, the idea of wearing metal braces is unthinkable. Clear braces however mean you don’t have to feel so self conscious.

Long gone are the jokes about English people having terrible teeth. With our love of all things celebrity, we’re following in the footsteps of our American cousins and taking greater pride in the appearance of our teeth, making sure they are straighter and whiter than ever before. And there’s a new treatment that is helping to make all that happen – Invisalign. London clients are raving about the system of clear aligners that correct teeth with comfort and convenience, instead of the embarrassment and pain of traditional metal braces. This is how Invisalign’s London dentists are helping the city get straight.

Wearing braces can seriously damage a person’s self-confidence, whether they’re a teenager or an adult. Knowing that people might be looking more at the metal in your mouth than at you can affect your self-image, and make you feel self-conscious about your appearance. Thankfully, a new orthodontic product can put an end to the embarrassment of wearing braces, and any stigma attached to it. Invisalign is a revolutionary set of clear plastic aligners that will give you a fabulous new smile, without anyone knowing you’re receiving treatment.

Braces are an essential element of orthodontic treatment for anyone suffering with an overcrowded mouth, wide gaps in their teeth, overbites, underbites, or crossbites. But wearing a metal brace has huge downsides for the wearer, no matter what their age. Children and teenagers can be bullied and teased for having a “metal mouth”, while adults can become acutely self-conscious about their appearance and turn down dates and speaking engagements. If you don’t want your life ruined by braces, then a far better option is Invisalign, a system of clear plastic retainers that will give you a new improved smile – in secret!

The entertainment industry is a notoriously tough one when it comes to physical appearance. All actors and actresses know that in order to beat the fierce competition to parts, they have to look their absolute best. The prospect of having to wear braces to re-align teeth could be a massive career blow – a mouth full of metal just isn’t conducive to a good close-up. However, the Invisalign system of clear aligners means that actors can have a winning smile without having to stop working or sacrifice their chances of success.

Ugly metal braces have been the bane of people all around the world, but now it looks like their time could be up. A new trend in orthodontics is gaining popularity in the form of clear aligners that offer users the chance to improve their smile in secret. Unlike metal braces, which you simply can’t miss, Invisalign are practically invisible, and can be removed for functional activities like eating. If you can’t bear the thought of having your life and your self-confidence hindered by metal braces, then join the clear revolution with Invisalign.

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:

Invisalign London offers new smiles to patients in The City, who can’t afford to have their appearance damaged by ugly metal braces. Businessmen and women whose success depends on their ability to present a smart, professional appearance are turning to the revolutionary system to correct their teeth, secure in the knowledge that barely anyone will guess they are undergoing treatment. Invisalign London dentists know that the best level of service is crucial for these high-flyers, and are offering the Platinum Elite option to help restore their smile with style.

Old-fashioned metal braces look set to become a thing of the past for orthodontic patients in London. Invisalign is system of clear plastic aligners created by the latest technology in laboratories that can be worn discreetly and comfortably. Invisalign London is creating fabulous new smiles all over the capital city.

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.

Metal braces have had their day. For years they were the only orthodontics treatment available to children, teens and adults who needed their teeth straightening and corrected – and they came at a cost. For young people, braces were an easy target for bullies, and lowered many teenagers’ already fragile self-esteem. For adults they were equally a source of embarrassment, simply because so many people did associate them with teenagers. Metal braces are uncomfortable and restrict daily social activities like eating out, and oral hygiene functions like brushing and flossing. Now they are being overtaken by the new generation of orthodontics treatments – invisible aligner systems.

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 no longer has to be complicated, despite what many people might think. Braces are traditionally associated with hassle, expense and discomfort, as well as repeated visits to the dentist and an awful lot of time. Now there is a far more simple solution – invisible aligners. Made from clear plastic, these orthodontics devices simply fit over the upper and lower teeth to gradually bring them back into perfect alignment.

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.

Everyone knows that Londoners are in a hurry, whether it’s rushing to work, racing to catch a train, or eating on the go so they can get back to the office. There’s just something about living in the capital that makes its residents want everything to happen quickly and efficiently. So it makes sense that when it comes to orthodontic treatments, they will want to find the fastest possible treatment to straighten and align their teeth. The answer? Invisible braces. London dentists can wholeheartedly recommend clear aligner systems like Invisalign to their patients because they know the results happen faster than with traditional braces.
