Did you know that straight teeth are healthier than crooked teeth?

While many people worry about how their uneven teeth look, some people avoid treatment because they feel that having their crooked teeth straightened would be a vain thing to do. In fact, having your teeth straightened doesn’t just make them look good. The most important aspect is the health of your teeth and delaying treatment to correct uneven teeth can lead to unnecessary decay.

At Burwell Dental Surgery in Cambridge we are well aware that for many people who are unhappy with their uneven teeth, just the thought of having to wear the traditional unsightly metal braces stops them from seeking help. Adults are especially uncomfortable with this idea and many people suffer embarrassment and even discomfort instead.

Thankfully, advances in orthodontics means that it is possible to straighten teeth without feeling self-conscious or embarrassed. Invisible orthodontics is a treatment that gives patients the opportunity to wear a clear appliance that straightens and aligns teeth. Some of these are removable too.We have a team who are experienced in assessing and fitting these invisible braces in Cambridge. We focus on keeping our patients informed and relaxed to ensure they have a positive experience and get the best results for their condition.

What makes invisible braces so good?

The invisibility is not the only advantage of this approach to teeth straightening. Some appliances can be removed from time to time to fit in with people’s hectic lifestyles without having a detrimental effect on the treatment.Invisible orthodontics could also straighten teeth faster than traditional braces.In fact for some patients in Cambridge with invisible braces, it takes as little as 6 months to reposition their teeth. Furthermore,our patients find them far more comfortable to wear than the traditional braces. This is largely down to the modern wire technology that is used in the invisible appliances. The modern wire requires less force to be effective reducing pressure within the patient’s mouth.

Good oral health is just as important as keeping the rest of the body healthy. Patients with invisible braces in Cambridge appreciate these appliances are a valuable long-term investment. Meanwhile the immediate advantage is the confidence boost that patients get when they know they have a beautiful smile.
