Many adults would like straighter teeth, but are put off by the thought of wearing conventional train-track style braces. Braces remain the best and most predictable way to straighten teeth, but at King’s Dental Clinic we understand that traditional braces may not be compatible with busy personal and professional lives. That’s why we offer a number of treatments using invisible braces.

As if being invisible to the untrained eye wasn’t enough, these types of braces also often have much-reduced treatment times (depending on the type and amount of correction required in each individual case).

Among our most popular invisible brace options at our Hammersmith and Southwark dental practices are Six Month Smiles. These can correct a wide range of cosmetic orthodontic problems and, as the name suggests, they have an average treatment time of just six months. As well as meaning you will only have to wear your braces for a short period, this type of treatment can be better for your overall oral health because braces can be difficult to clean around, requiring regular visits to the hygienist.

Six Month Smiles use clear brackets and tooth-coloured wires, meaning they are very discreet and will not be immediately noticeable.

As well as Six Month Smiles, we offer a number of removable devices to straighten teeth, also known as clear aligners. These devices are made to fit your teeth precisely, and can be used to correct a wide range of orthodontic problems.

Removable aligners have minimal impact on your lifestyle, because you can take them out to eat and drink, to brush your teeth and to clean, helping you to maintain good dental hygiene for the duration of treatment.

Among the aligners we offer at King’s Dental Clinic is the Inman Aligner, which is a single device that can correct mild to moderate issues with alignment, crowding and rotation of the teeth quickly and safely. Other clear brace systems comprise a system of aligners that you change every two weeks or so as your teeth move.
