There are many different types of braces available, and the choice can sometimes be confusing. If you\u2019re thinking of getting braces in St John\u2019s Wood<\/a>, here at Aura Dental<\/strong> we can help you decide which type is best for you.<\/p>\n

\"BracesTypes of braces<\/strong><\/p>\n

The type of braces best suited to you will depend on your teeth and bite, how long you are willing to wear them for, your budget and your lifestyle. Classic braces with brackets and wires are no longer the only choice. Braces in St John\u2019s Wood have come a long way in recent years, and there are much more discreet options available now.<\/p>\n

Six Months Smiles are braces that use brackets and wires, but they are aimed mainly at adjusting the front, most visible teeth, and results can be achieved in just 6 months. The braces are made from clear or white parts, so they are much more discreet than traditional braces.<\/p>\n

Lingual braces are fixed to the backs of the teeth, so when viewed from the front they are practically invisible. Removable aligners are also an option.<\/p>\n

How long do braces take to work?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The time you will need to wear braces in St John\u2019s Wood<\/strong> will depend on the type of braces and the amount of adjustment required. Aligners can work on the front teeth in just 6-12 weeks, Six Months Smiles braces take around 6 months, as suggested by the name, and more complex issues with traditional braces can take up to 2 years to fully adjust.<\/p>\n

Are braces expensive?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Again, it depends in part on the type of braces or aligners you choose. Here at Aura Dental we can offer a monthly finance option for braces in St John\u2019s Wood<\/strong>, making getting braces much more affordable. If you are thinking of getting braces, talk to our staff about finance options.<\/p>\n

Do braces hurt?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Braces work by gently forcing your teeth to slowly change position over time, so there is bound to be some discomfort, but it\u2019s not as painful as you might think. There can be some soreness just after the braces have been fitted, and after adjustments, but a good dentist will make sure this is kept to a minimum.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
