As dentists, we hope that braces won\u2019t forever be associated with those awkward adolescent years and cumbersome metal appliances, but at the moment they still are. In fact, it doesn\u2019t matter how old you are, you can still get your teeth straightened. It\u2019s just that you can only get your jaw realigned up to about the age of 18 when the bone sets hard. That\u2019s why we tend to see many more young teenagers than adults wearing braces. But also because despite adult braces having been around for a while, adults don\u2019t want to look like teenagers, especially if they are in positions of responsibility and work with the public. But, if you come to us at Aura Dental<\/strong>, you will find there\u2019s much more to braces in St John\u2019s Wood than metal and micky-taking.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"BracesBraces in St John\u2019s Wood<\/strong> for adults tend to be much smaller and more discreet than kids\u2019 braces. We have a range of such braces to choose from, and some are even so discreet that they are as good as invisible.<\/p>\n

These are braces, but not in the traditional sense of brackets and wires cemented onto the teeth that pull teeth into alignment. Instead, these aligners resemblance bite guards. The transparent plastic tooth trays at only 0.3 millimetres thick hug the teeth so closely that once they are in place, they are very hard to spot.<\/p>\n

You receive a series of these, and wear each one in turn. Each aligner is slightly different in shape than the previous one, with carefully positioned pressure spots to nudge your teeth along the path to alignment. You wear one for a week to 10 days before swapping it for the next in the series.<\/p>\n

As well as being pretty much undetectable, these braces in St John\u2019s Wood<\/a> are also removable. You must wear them for 20\u201322 hours a day, but you take them out for eating, drinking anything but plain water and cleaning. This gives you a lot more freedom food-wise and makes tooth brushing far less of a hassle.<\/p>\n
