Straighten Your Smile Discreetly with Modern Orthodontic Treatment
If you’ve been waiting for the right time to straighten your teeth, that time is here! Through modern advancements in orthodontic technology, you now have more choices than ever for getting the perfectly aligned smile of your dreams. Invisalign clear aligners and Incognito lingual braces are among the different teeth braces for adults offered at West London Orthodontist Cosmetic Dental Studios in London, UK. Dr. Chaw-Su Kyi answers your questions about these modern orthodontic treatments to help you decide which would be best for you.
What is clear aligner therapy, and how does it work?
Clear aligner treatments like Invisalign use clear, plastic aligners in place of metal hardware to straighten crooked teeth. Dr. Kyi will create a treatment plan that is conducive to your orthodontic needs. We’ll also customize a series of aligners to use in your treatment. When worn, these aligners work slowly and methodically to shift your teeth into a straighter position. You’ll wear the aligners full-time, at least 20 to 22 hours daily, and switch to a new set every few weeks to keep your teeth moving until your treatment is complete.
What are the benefits of clear aligner therapy for adults?
Invisalign clear aligners are made of transparent plastic material. They’re more comfortable to wear than metal braces, easier to use and less noticeable on your teeth. Young professionals won’t have to worry about their appearance during their treatment.
Clear aligner therapy makes eating and oral hygiene a breeze, as you can remove the aligners for these activities. There are no dietary restrictions! Invisalign won’t cut into your social life either, as you can remove the aligners for special occasions, as long as you remember to put them right back when the event is over.
There’s no need for frequent dental visits, so you’ll have more time for other things. Dr. Kyi will see you every six weeks or so to monitor your progress. Of course, we’re also available anytime to answer your questions or help resolve issues if needed.
What are lingual braces, and how do they work?
Lingual braces consist of brackets and wires, similar to traditional braces; only they’re attached to the inside of your teeth, making your braces “invisible” to the eye. The brackets are also made of gold for a classier look. Incognito braces are an example of this treatment. As the braces aren’t seen, they’re a good choice for self-conscious adults and teens.

How long does it take to straighten teeth with clear aligners or lingual braces?
As each of our treatments is personalized, there’s no set time for completing your orthodontic procedure. It depends on the problems you want to fix and their complexity. On average, however, most people wear clear aligners for 12 to 18 months and lingual braces for 18 to 24 months.
