All our dental braces for adults are designed to be as imperceptible as possible. In more severe cases, Ice Clear brace brackets can be used to mask dental work as much as possible. It’s impossible to say which treatment is best without a consultation, but we’re confident we can fix your smile with the minimum of fuss.

Myth 2 – Orthodontists will only treat severe and medically pertinent cases
Many of our clients are adults who only have slight flaws in their smile. For example, a small gap between two teeth they’d like closing, a slightly protruding tooth etc. Orthodontic treatment for cosmetic or personal reasons is absolutely fine.

Myth 3 – Braces are for kids
According to some online sources (e.g. advice website Braces.org) around one in five orthodontic patients are adults.

Myth 4 – Braces are painful and take a long time to work
There is usually an initial adjustment period where the mouth can feel sensitive and a bit delicate, but it’s best to think of it as wearing in a new pair of shoes. Once you’re used to them, you’ll forget they’re there. In terms of treatment time, some braces need only be worn a matter of months.

Invisalign braces work by fitting removable aligners to the patient’s teeth. The aligners can be removed any time but are designed to be as imperceptible as possible. Although we recommend wearing the aligners day and night, we know it can be a great relief for our patients to be able to remove their dental wear occasionally.

Incognito braces are fixed to the back of the teeth rather than the front. It’s this type of dental work the princess most likely invested in before her April 2011 wedding. Incognito braces are typically offered to adults needing more extensive work than habitually dealt with by Invisalign. Both can, however, be considered.

Although the princess’s dental work has never been confirmed, it’s likely she opted for the most natural smile by allowing her orthodontist to move her teeth in micro-rotations. For many of our clients, too, the perfect smile isn’t about Hollywood perfection, but about enhancing the natural brilliance of their innate grin.

Veneers are becoming less popular in the U.K thanks to great orthodontic treatments and the popularity of the natural British smile. Our treatments can help you iron out those little imperfections without losing the real, smiling you.

1.    Practice makes perfect, and whilst we can’t always control the glorious crinkles around our eyes when we find something truly hilarious, it IS possible to learn how to smile for photographs, in business meetings etc. Every celebrity, from Kimberly Walsh to Megan Fox admits that the perfect smile for the lens doesn’t always come naturally. It’s time to get your Smartphone out and take a few experimental shots in front of the mirror!

2.    Take the Smile Challenge and practice your newfound grin on folks you might usually ignore or just offer a humble curl of the lip to – people who hold the door for you, homeless people, strangers, etc.

3.    Don’t fake it too hard! We’ve all done impressions of Keira Knightly’s pout in front of the mirror. Did you look a little ridiculous? Yes. When your orthodontic treatment is over it’s not time to hide those pearly whites behind a forced grin of taught cheeks and tense lips. The absolute best thing you can do for your grin is to embrace it. After all, we truly smile with our eyes!

It’s understandable that you will be wary about what you eat in order for your teeth to be as straight as possible when the dental braces for adults come off, and so you don’t break them.

You can eat most foods when wearing adult braces, but here at Hampstead Orthodontic Practice we advise that you are wary of some foods.

We recommend that you avoid eating whole apples, cut them into wedges instead. You should definitely avoid sweets such as caramels, boiled candies, nut brittle or anything similar, as this can damage your brace and lead to fillings.

However, if you do find yourself eating sugary foods then we suggest you rinse your mouth with water within a few minutes of consumption. Any other hard foods should also be avoided as they can cause your adult braces to snap or bend.

Invisalign is actually a clear plastic tray that you can wear on your teeth to help straighten them. Because it’s clear, it’s nearly invisible and a much better choice for adults who don’t want to wear traditional braces. It can also be removed while you eat, brushing your teeth, etc.

If you feel you do need more traditional braces, another option is the Damon System. But rest assured they are far more comfortable to wear than traditional braces used to be. Instead of using elastic bands to create tension, they use a slide mechanism. Teeth move more freely for a more comfortable straightening process.

We also offer Incognito. If you are particularly self conscious and don’t want to wear braces that show, this is the best option for you. These are custom made and fit to the back of your teeth so that they are virtually invisible to those around you.

However, straightening teeth with traditional, fixed metal braces can seem like a laborious exercise. The results can often take years to achieve, depending on the particular circumstances of the patient.
