If you think that treatment with braces has to mean a metallic glint to your smile, we ask you to think again. At Capital Dental in Twickenham, we recognise that traditional metal train-track devices are not suitable for everyone, which is why we are proud to offer a number of subtler orthodontic treatment options.

The benefits of orthodontics for all ages

Orthodontic treatment is now seen as standard for children and teenagers in the UK, but what about the many adults who would like to straighten their teeth? It may be that you missed out on orthodontic treatment as a child, or you may have experienced adult relapse – which means your teeth have moved back to their original position.

At our Twickenham dental practice we welcome adult orthodontic patients. Whether your teeth are in need of mild cosmetic correction, or you have more extensive issues affecting your bite, our skilled team will work hard to find the perfect solution for your individual case.

Even cosmetic braces have health benefits. By straightening the teeth they become easier to clean, with fewer gaps for food particles to get trapped in. So long as you visit your dentist and hygienist regularly and have a good tooth cleaning routine at home, straightening your teeth can reduce your risk of gum disease and tooth decay.

Twickenham discreet braces and aligners

If you are interested in straightening your teeth in a subtler way than with traditional metal braces, we invite you to join us at our Twickenham practice for an orthodontic consultation. Your dentist will undertake a thorough clinical examination before talking you through the pros and cons of all the relevant treatment options. We want you to be entirely happy with your decision and aware of any impact treatment could have on your daily life, so we will furnish you with all the information needed to make an informed choice.

We use both fixed appliances – braces – and removable appliances – aligners at our Twickenham dental practice. The best one for your case will depend on your clinical need and on lifestyle factors.

Our adult braces comprise clear and tooth-coloured parts.
