They work by generating\u00a0gradual force\u00a0on your teeth which moves them into the desired alignment and\u00a0position.This type of orthodontics can take up to three years to achieve the required results.<\/li>\n<li>Lingual Braces are\u00a0invisible as they are worn on the backs of\u00a0your teeth. They are\u00a0\u00a0fixed in place with small metal brackets, similar to\u00a0 \u2018wire and bracket\u2019 traditional braces but are not on display on the fronts of your \u00a0teeth<\/li>\n<li>Invisalign-Almost invisible and clear, these are retainers or aligners which are comfortable to wear, easily removable for eating and drinking and are low maintenance. They also work by slowly moving your teeth into the necessary position, aligning and straightening them over a shorter time frame than metal brackets ie:several months rather than years.The advantage of Invisalign treatment is the shorter time span compared with train tracks or metal braces.The average Invisalign treatment is approximately twelve to eighteen months.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You might regret having missed out on having your teeth straightened as a teenager or maybe you did wear a brace but it didn&#8217;t quite work and you were disappointed with the result.However, it\u2019s never too late to consider teeth straightening dentistry treatments and you\u2019re never too old to wear a brace, especially with all the <a title=\"invisible braces\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cosmeticwhitesmiles.co.uk\/news\/invisible-braces-1275\">invisible braces<\/a> available today.<\/p>\n<p>The beauty of the more modern techniques compared with the traditional and more prominent metal braces of the past is they are so much more aesthetically acceptable.<\/p>\n<p>Wearing a brace is also utilised to straighten spaces or\u00a0gaps between teeth, on overcrowded or overlapping teeth and often to straighten crooked\u00a0smile.With your cosmetic dentist and orthodontist now offering so many options and choices in cosmetic dentistry treatments for straightening teeth , nobody need ever know you are wearing a \u2018brace\u2019 at all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wearing a brace has traditionally been associated with teenagers but this in no longer the case.
