<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nIf this procedure\nhas piqued your curiosity, then here is a little extra information on how we\nuse braces in St John’s Wood<\/a> to help you get that straight looking smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What are they?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n For some an appointment\nfor braces in St John’s Wood<\/strong>\nmight mean being fitted with the stereotypical bracket and wire setup, but\ndepending on your case, we may also offer an almost invisible alternative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Known as clear\nbraces, they can be fixed or removable depending on the degree of rectification\nrequired. The fixed type of clear braces can have clear or tooth-coloured\nbrackets and wires. However the most popular types of clear braces are\nsee-through plastic aligners that are custom moulded to fit only your mouth and\nover time help straighten out any troublesome crooked teeth. What makes this\nparticular piece of corrective device different is that it can be removed at\nany time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n How they can straighten out your smile<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The practice of\nusing braces to correct crooked teeth is fairly common and simple. The idea is\nthat the brace will exert a small, gentle and direct amount of pressure on\nspecific areas of your mouth over an extended period of treatment time, with\nthe goal of slowly realigning them to a straighter position. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Generally it can\ntake several months for the desired results to start appearing, although the\nlength of time can depend on the specific patient situation and age, as those\nthat are younger tend to have a shorter turnaround for this procedure. But your\ndentist will usually discuss this with you and provide an estimate for your\nparticular case. <\/p>\n\n\n\n What does the fitting involve?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The fitting of\nthe brace is fairly straightforward and depending on the type of appliance\nbeing used it can take a matter of minutes. The bracket and wire setup of clear\nbrace is normally attached with a special dental adhesive through a simple\nprocedure. This brace, also known as a ceramic brace, is also very unobtrusive\nwhilst giving your dentist greater control over movement of teeth. The\nremovable see-through types of braces involve a short non-invasive scanning\nsession to get the measurements for your aligner as accurate as possible. At Aura Dental<\/strong> our team will fit you with a brace that has been\ncreated with a high level of detail and accuracy to provide a comfortable and\nefficiently fitted aligner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Is it painful?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A pretty common\nquestion that crops up when treatments are being discussed is whether it\u2019s\ngoing to be painful at all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The process of\nfitting a brace isn\u2019t overly invasive or particularly uncomfortable, although\nyou may start to experience some mild aches in your teeth after wearing them\nfor a few days. This is because your teeth are being forcibly moved, so\nnaturally your body isn\u2019t too happy about that. To counter this just use\npainkillers if things start to get a little too much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hopefully this\nhas helped to clear up a few things about our braces and how we can use them to\nmake your smile a little straighter.
