We get it, you want straight teeth but want to straighten them discreetly. At Carew Dental we have options for removable clear aligners and non-removable, ceramic, fixed braces.
Fixed braces will always be the better option for you if you don’t trust yourself to wear the aligners for at least 20 hours per day. Once the fixed braces have been fitted, the treatment progresses without you having to remember to do anything!
Fixed braces are worn by both men and women. They are very discreet and extremely effective.
Your main focus during treatment is maintaining your oral well-being, but don’t worry — we give you plenty of guidance!
The patient was unhappy with their yellow, crooked teeth. A combination of short term orthodontics (fixed braces), teeth whitening, and hygiene appointments, brightened and aligned the teeth.
Our dentist fixes individual ceramic brackets onto each of your teeth and threads a tooth-coloured nickel-titanium wire through the brackets, securing the wire in place with individual tooth-coloured bands.
Our orthodontic treatments typically straighten the front six teeth and don’t make major alterations to the bite. Treatment takes on average around 3 to 12 months to complete, and you would come into the practice for review appointments every 4 to 6 weeks throughout treatment.
If you’d like teeth straightening where you don’t need to come into practice for reviews, see our clear aligner teeth straightening – those reviews are carried out from home via remote monitoring!!
Once your braces are fitted you’ll have a free Hygiene Education Appointment at Carew Dental. Our hygienist will show you how to clean around the braces and how to use wax, which is a lifesaver if the brackets start to rub!
You’ll need to avoid curries and tomato-based sauces during treatment as they’ll stain the bands on your braces. Our top tip is to eat these foods the meal before each review – we change the stained bands the during the review appointment and you get your food fix!
