Adult Braces London

• Improved appearance: a new smile is a fantastic confidence boost
• Reduced risk of tooth decay and gum disease: it’s easier to keep straight teeth clean and healthy
• Prevent tooth damage: protruding front teeth (buck teeth) are more likely to be damaged in an accident or injury
• Bite correction with dental braces
• Can eliminate teeth grinding (Bruxism) and reduce stress on the jaw bone and cartilage

You will need regular appointments during the active phase of treatment for the brace to be adjusted, usually every 4-6 weeks.

Yes. It will be important you still have checkups with your regular dentist throughout orthodontic treatment so that your teeth can be checked for decay, and kept free of plaque between visits.

If you have a fixed brace it is likely to be sore for about 3 – 5 days each time the brace is adjusted. You can take over the counter painkillers if necessary. We also have products to help with sores inside the mouth from the braces rubbing.

It is important that you brush your teeth thoroughly, three times per day and use fluoride toothpaste. Brushing may take a little longer when you have a fixed brace. We also recommend a daily fluoride mouth rinse last thing at night, after tooth brushing.

When it comes to adult braces in London, every individual is different, so what could work for one may not be the best solution for someone else. That’s why here at The London Centre for Cosmetic Dentistry, we will always offer an initial consultation to help you find the right type of braces for you and your teeth.

Although we will always aim to provide the type of braces you had in mind, in some cases there may be orthodontic solutions better suited to your teeth, and some may not be appropriate at all. That’s why those initial consultations are so important, as it allows us to properly examine your teeth and gums and find the right treatment for you.

The good news is that we offer a huge range of adult braces in London, including the popular Invisalign and CFast, so we’re bound to find a solution to suit your needs.

Not necessarily. Although braces are most popular during childhood and teen years when the teeth are more moveable, adult braces can still work in the same amount of time. The real determining factor will be how much movement is required, and the sort of orthodontic issues you have.

To get a better idea of how long your treatment might take, get in touch with us to book an initial consultation.

Absolutely! Invisible braces such as Angel Aligners have proven to be the most popular type of orthodontic solution for adults as they offer a discreet way to align your teeth. Of course, like any type of adult braces in London, the right solution will depend on the type of correction that’s required. The good news is that finding out is easy, and we can do this with you in our initial consultation.
