If your parents had braces, you may have seen pictures of them with their mouths full of metal. Today, braces are much less noticeable. Metal braces are still used, but you also have the option of clear braces or braces that are the same color as your teeth. There are even braces that go behind your teeth where no one can see them.
Dr Mehta and his team of specialists will help you work out which option is best for you.
Clear or ceramic braces are a treatment option for teenagers. They are tooth-coloured or clear brackets that blend with your teeth.
Your smile is Unique. Your braces should be too.
Lightforce braces are 3D printed and the latest innovation in Orthodontics. They offer true customisation of your smile design and accuracy of fit compared to traditional metal/ceramic braces. As a result you can complete your treatment in a shorter time, with fewer office visits and a better treatment outcome. They are also more comfortable.
Some teenagers will be suitable for the same Invisalign treatment as adult patients. Younger teenagers, or those who haven’t got all of their adult teeth erupted can be treated with Invisalign Teen – a treatment designed specifically for teenagers.
Invisalign Teen is a series of custom-made, clear plastic aligners that provide a teeth-straightening alternative to more traditional metal braces. The Invisalign Teen aligners are made with the same Invisalign technology used for Invisalign aligners, moving teeth gradually without the need for metal or wires. Because teens (and their mouths) are constantly on the move, there are a few special features.
Invisalign Teen is made with 3-D computer imaging technology and Dr Mehta is a certified Specialist with Invisalign. Dr Mehta will help you to work out if this is a suitable option for you.
