Invisalign
Invisalign are a popular choice that involves fitting clear aligners over your teeth instead of fixed metal and brackets. These aligners are removable although you do still need to wear them for the majority of each day. You are given a series of aligners to take home and advised on how often to change them – usually every two weeks.
During the course of your treatment, you will continue to regularly visit your dentist at Winchester Orthodontics, Hampshire, so that we can check on your progress. The appointments will be a brief check-in.
Damon metal or clear braces
Although all teeth straightening methods work by putting pressure on the teeth in order to get them to move, the methods vary in the ways in which they achieve this. Damon braces use a slide mechanism that is attached to the teeth with brackets and adjusts as the teeth move. This means they are more comfortable and faster than traditional braces. You can opt to have the clear brackets which are less obtrusive than metal ones.
When you choose Winchester Orthodontics, Hampshire, you can consider these options alongside traditional methods, lingual braces and options for the teenagers in your life.
