Modern orthodontics affords a dentist or orthodontist a number of ways to improve the alignment of your teeth, and fix issues with your bite. This may involve using fixed appliances \u2013 braces \u2013 or removable appliances \u2013 aligners. When you come to Aura Dental in North London<\/a> for an orthodontic consultation, we will conduct a thorough clinical examination, then will explain the pros and cons of all relevant treatments.<\/p>\n

Braces are the traditional method by which orthodontists straighten teeth. In the 21st Century, they can be made from clear and tooth-coloured components, meaning that they will blend in with your teeth\u2019s natural colouring and won\u2019t be instantly noticeable.<\/p>\n

At our North London clinic we use Six Month Smiles cosmetic braces<\/a>, which have an average treatment time of just half a year and focus on the front six to eight teeth \u2013 those on display when you smile.<\/p>\n

We also use clear aligners \u2013 Invisalign and the Inman Aligner \u2013 as an alternative way to straighten your teeth. Unlike braces, which are fixed in place, both these aligners are removable at home, so you can take them out to eat and clean.<\/p>\n

The Inman Aligner is a single device used to correct adult relapse and protrusion issues with the front teeth. It works incredibly quickly \u2013 sometimes in just a matter of weeks \u2013 and acts as a retainer after treatment.<\/p>\n

Invisalign treatment involves using a series of aligners that you change every fortnight. It can correct a wider range of orthodontic problems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
