For our patients whose main concern is to correct dental imperfections and having straighter teeth, we are able to provide dental treatments within the area of orthodontics.

What is orthodontics?

Orthodontics is the area of dentistry that improves the appearance of an individual’s teeth by using braces. There are options to have either fixed orthodontics or removable orthodontics which both are able to correct dental issues such as crooked and crowded teeth, or correcting issues with an individual’s bite.

When we mention orthodontics, the first treatment that comes to mind is traditional metal braces, or fixed braces. This is a popular teeth straightening treatment which uses brackets and metal wires to slowly shift your teeth into their desired position.

However if you are someone who is conscious about having fixed braces, and would like a more discreet way to straighten your teeth, there is another orthodontic treatment option in the form of Invisalign in Glasgow.

An alternative to traditional metal braces

Invisalign in Glasgow is a clear alternative to traditional metal braces. It’s made of a series of 3D designed clear removable aligners that are virtually invisible, comfortable and convenient, making this a popular treatment for adults and teens who want to improve their smiles.For this treatment to be most effective, it is recommended that you wear each set of aligners for a period of 20 to 22 hours a day. Given the aligners are removable, you will be able to consume your favourite food and drink as normal along with being able to maintain a healthy oral care regime.
