Everything from clear aligners to lingual braces are\nnow available for you to explore with our team, and like always, what we help\nyou to choose will be based on the most suitable appliance type for your\nmisalignment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because\nat <strong>Aura Dental<\/strong>, we know more than\nyou may think about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.auradentallondon.co.uk\/lingual-braces.html\">braces in St\nJohns Wood<\/a>, offering our patients 9 different types of orthodontic\ntreatments. If you need to straighten a front tooth or need something a bit\nmore advanced, we have them all here and can see you through each procedure with\nconfidence and care. Perfect!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But which of our <strong>braces in St\nJohns Wood<\/strong> is right for you? In this article, we will look at\nlingual braces- a hidden gem that can straighten your teeth without the stares!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What are they?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First things first, a lingual <strong>brace in St Johns Wood<\/strong> is fitted; you won\u2019t be able to\nremove it as you would with Invisalign. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, it is fitted onto the back of your\nteeth, providing discretion- hence why this appliance is so popular among\nadults. It is made from brackets and wires in the same way as an orthodontic\noption, and it will require adjusting and tightening in the same way to move\nyour teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How do they work?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Much like the traditional orthodontic treatments,\nthis appliance uses wires, brackets and tightening to move your teeth into\ntheir new position. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means that, unfortunately, you may\nexperience a more intense sensation of pressure in your mouth after each\nadjustment. But, they work well with more advanced cases of misalignment and\ncan help patients who need to have their molar or canines rotated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Can anyone have them fitted?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Almost, yes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While this appliance is popular with adults and\nteenagers, it is possible for children to have them fitted but our team may\nadvise against this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As they are behind the teeth, they are harder to\nclean and so, they may be unsuitable for younger children. Also, the adjustment\nprocess can be a bit fiddly and invasive, which can make children a bit more\nnervous about their dental care, so we may advise regular orthodontics for\nsmaller children. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Are they more expensive than regular braces?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, they are but this is due to the skill of the\northodontist who fits them; it is tough to fit braces on to the back of teeth\nand requires additional training. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, if you want to brag to your friends,\nanother reason for the expense is that part of the brackets are made from gold.\nVery classy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Can any dentist fit them?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No, additional training is required for an\northodontist to fit a lingual appliance but when you come to <strong>Aura Dental<\/strong>, we have team members who\nhave that expertise and more. So why not call us today?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you are an adult with misaligned teeth, chances are you have had a fair few searches on the internet looking for a solution.
