Metal braces were once the only way a dentist or orthodontist could straighten teeth, but things have changed. At Capital Dental in Hampton we offer a wide range of subtler teeth-straightening options, using both fixed and removable appliances.

An increasing number of adults are taking an interested in teeth straightening. Whether they missed out on treatment as a child or they had treatment only to experience adult relapse, as more people start to appreciate the true value of an alluring smile, so the demand for teeth straightening has grown.

At our Hampton dental practice we understand that for many adults, the thought of traditional metal braces can be a barrier to treatment. However, we also know that straightening your teeth has numerous health as well as aesthetic benefits, so if you would like to improve the alignment of your teeth in a subtler manner, why not come into Capital Dental in Hampton for a consultation?

Hampton braces and aligners

The ideal treatment for you will depend on your clinical situation – the type and amount of correction needed. Your dentist will also take lifestyle factors and personal preference into account whenever possible.

Among the treatments we offer are:

FastBraces

FastBraces have a unique design that means, unlike other brace systems that move the roots and the crowns of teeth separately, with FastBraces the whole tooth is moved at the same time. This speeds up treatment and is suitable for a wide range of orthodontic situations. FastBraces are available as either traditional metal appliances, or subtler clear and tooth-coloured braces.

Cfast Braces

Designed for quick cosmetic correction of minor issues affecting the front teeth, these braces comprise clear brackets and tooth-coloured nickel-titanium wires for maximum discretion.

Smile Tru

Treatment involves using a system of clear, removable aligners to guide your teeth into a better position. Because they are removable, you need no special dental hygiene techniques during treatment. You change your aligner fortnightly.

Inman Aligner

This single aligner provides rapid correction for problems including adult relapse, protrusion, moderate crowding and tooth rotation problems. Average treatment times with the Inman Aligner are between eight and 16 weeks, thanks to its unique design.
