Very few, if any, of us watch our adult teeth descend into our gums in a line of perfection. Even if there is nothing much wrong with the way our upper and lower jaws bite together, many of us have teeth that are crooked, crowded or misaligned.
This used to be something that people just had to live with. Then, someone invented braces made of metal that were fixed onto the teeth of teenagers for months, even years on end. They became synonymous with all the awkwardness of adolescence, and they became known for being painful in the mouth, where they rubbed, and also causing pain in the teeth as they forced them into new, straighter positions.
The stories attached to traditional metal ‘train-track’ style braces have put off many a person. They would like to have straighter teeth, but can’t face the discomfort and embarrassment of metal braces, or they think it is too late to have straighter teeth now they are over 23.
Here at Queen’s Park Dental Team in Bournemouth, teeth straightening is not the uncomfortable, years-long embarrassment so many people envisage. Instead we use a system called In-Line Invisible Braces.
In-Line teeth straightening in Bournemouth was chosen by our dentist Hannah Neve because it is almost invisible. Instead of using the usual brackets and wires for teeth straightening in Bournemouth, this new technology from Germany gently guides the teeth, which are sandwiched between two clear plastic layers, rather like a mouth-guard, into their new position in increments. When one sandwich, in a series of several, has moved them one step of their journey, it is replaced with the next one, which takes them on further.
As well as being more comfortable and almost invisible, In-Line teeth-straightening in Bournemouth also gives you the added benefit of being removable. This mean you can eat what you like, and clean your teeth as before.
Once this Bournemouth teeth straightening system has done its job, your straighter teeth will not only mean your smile will be more confident, but oral hygiene will be easier too.
