Alternatives to metal braces in Hampton

Metal braces are no longer the only option for patients who want straighter teeth. At Capital Dental in Hampton, we understand the dilemma faced by many adults who would like to straighten their teeth but balk at the thought of traditional metal appliances. That’s why we are proud to offer a number of subtler alternatives.

Many of these appliances are referred to as “cosmetic braces” but at our Hampton dental practice we are keen to point out that as well as the aesthetic benefits to be gained from straightening your teeth, there are health benefits to be had to. To put it simply, straighter teeth tend to be healthier teeth, because with fewer gaps and spaces in which food particles can get trapped and plaque bacteria can build up, good dental hygiene is easier to maintain. With regular visits to your dentist and a good home care regime, straightening your teeth can reduce the risk of tooth decay and gum disease.

Teeth straightening in Hampton: your options

If you are interested in learning more about how discreet orthodontics could help you, we invite you to join us at Capital Dental Hampton for a consultation. A dentist will perform a complete clinical examination and diagnosis, then will take your preferences and lifestyle factors into consideration before devising a treatment plan.

Depending on your needs, we may recommend fixed braces or removable clear aligners. Among your treatment options at our Hampton dental centre are:

Cfast braces

Cfast are cosmetic braces that work in approximately six months, by focussing on the teeth in your smile line. Comprising clear and tooth-coloured components, Cfast blend in nicely with the natural colour of your teeth.

Invisalign

Invisalign is a popular system of clear aligners that offer an alternative to braces. They can correct a wide array of orthodontic concerns, and have the additional benefit of being removable, which is good for your oral hygiene.

Inman Aligner

The Inman Aligner is a single clear aligner designed to correct adult relapse and protrusion and crowding issues with the front teeth. Again, this aligner is removable.
