Many people associate orthodontic treatment with having to spend several years wearing unattractive train track braces.

Teeth Straightening treatment times often average around 6 months. 6MS is mainly suitable for treating mild to moderate dental issues affecting the front 4-6 teeth of your smile. Great for a quick fix of crooked teeth teeth that have really bothered you for while.

STb Social 6 lingual braces are attached to the back surfaces of the teeth, meaning that they are invisible braces. The STb Social 6 lingual brace is also a very fast and effective treatment and is often completed within a few months as it focuses on treating mild problems related to the front 4-6 teeth.
STb Social 6 braces can be used to treat mild to moderate orthodontic problems, such as teeth crowding and gappy teeth. As always a full cosmetic dental consultation with one of our cosmetic dentists will be needed to decide whether this is the right treatment for you.
The Inman Aligner is a removable brace, with two spring loaded opposing bars that create forces to squeeze the teeth into place. The Inman Aligner is incredibly quick and can often achieve results in a matter of weeks. Initially the appliance can feel a bit bulky and will take some time to acclimatize to. As the dental brace is removable you have a greater level of freedom, and can remove the appliance for social events and eating. However, it is recommended that you generally wear the brace for a minimum of between 16-20 hours every day for progressive results.
The Inman Aligner is a good treatment for a number of orthodontic problems, but it is generally designed for simple tipping and tilting movements of front teeth only. The Inman Aligner is also sometimes a good choice for those who have had brace work in the past, but have suffered a relapse.
This is one of the most popular ‘invisible’ orthodontic treatments and involves wearing a series of translucent aligners to gently move your teeth into place. Invisalign is custom-made, so treatment times can vary depending on the complexity of tooth movement required. Invisalign can be used to treat a range of orthodontic problems, including twisted teeth, misalignment and gaps. A full consultation with one of our team dentists will be required to find out if Invisalign is the right treatment for you.
What are the Benefits of Invisalign?
• Discreet design of the aligners
• They can be removed for ease of eating, drinking and cleaning teeth
• More comfortable than traditional braces
• Ease of removal of the aligners enable patients to maintain oral health
The Incognito™ brace is the very latest advance in invisible lingual orthodontics and is a dental brace that fits on the inside surface of teeth. Incognito braces or invisible braces are discreet and comfortable and offers the benefits of fixed dental braces. Users can show off a confident smile as the brace is hidden behind the teeth. Treatment is typically completed within 10 to 24 months.
Short-term Orthodontics for Adults
If you simply want to improve the appearance of the teeth that show when you smile, then you may be suitable for a more conservative approach. Short term orthodontics is concerned with aligning the front teeth and can be carried out by our dentists who are trained in using these types of systems. As we do not seek to make major changes to the way the teeth bite together, treatment times are often quicker.
