STB Lingual Light braces

STB Lingual Light braces work in the same way as the familiar ‘Traintrack’ style, except they are much smaller and fitted on the inside of your teeth, making them totally invisible.

Due to the invisible appearance of the STB Lingual Light braces, the technique has become popular with celebrities looking for special orthodontic treatment that does not interfere with their work and socialising.

Straighter teeth may not only be desired for aesthetic reasons, but may also lead to improved tooth and gum health.

Why choose STB Lingual Light braces?

  • STB Lingual Light braces are invisible during treatment and so only you need to know that you are undergoing dental treatment.
  • They are very quick to work – sometimes treatment time is as little as six weeks.
  • Compared to traditional orthodontics, STB Lingual Light are significantly cheaper yet incredibly effective and comfortable to wear.
  • Your braces are fixed for the duration of the treatment meaning that they are working as soon as they are fitted, gently moving your teeth into their new position.
  • STB Lingual Light braces are suitable for most patients, from teenagers to adults.

Invisalign®

What is Invisalign®?

Invisalign treatment is a virtually invisible way to straighten your teeth. Using advanced 3D computer-imaging technology, Invisalign shows you your complete treatment plan based on your Invisalign Provider’s prescription, from the initial position of your teeth towards the final desired position. Then a series of clear aligners are custom-made for your teeth to move them little by little.

Each aligner is worn for about two weeks before being replaced by the next in the series, gradually moving towards the projected final position. The treatment time depends on your specific needs and will be decided by your Invisalign Provider.

How does Invisalign work?

Invisalign aligners move teeth through a series of carefully controlled movements. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign treatment not only controls the amount of movement that each aligner delivers, but also the timing of the movement. So, at each stage, only certain teeth can move, following the Invisalign treatment plan for that particular stage. This results in an efficient force delivery system.

How long does the Invisalign treatment take?

The time taken depends on the complexity of the treatment and is generally comparable to that of traditional braces. During your consultation, your Invisalign Provider can give you more detailed information.

Inman Aligners

An Inman Aligner is an efficient way to straighten front teeth and is a minimally-invasive path to a great new smile!

How does it work?
The removeable appliance attaches to the back teeth with two metal aligner bows, one that passes behind the front teeth and one that passes in front. The bows are gradually tightened to gently guide the teeth towards the final position.

The aligners can be taken out for eating, drinking and brushing but must be worn for 16 to 20 hours a day, as directed. You’ll return for a review and adjustment every two to three weeks to keep treatment on track.

What problems can Inman Aligners treat?

The aligners can treat protrusion or overcrowding of the top or bottom front teeth. They can also treat some crossbites (teeth not lining up) and rotations (turned teeth).

How long does treatment take?

Treatment time varies depending on your individual case, but most patients complete treatment within 6 to 18 weeks. Your dentist will give you a personalised estimate during your consultation.

Treatment including braces, all appointments and after care retainers from £1,800. Initial consultation £90.

As someone in the vulnerable category I have kept out of daily life where I can and my appointment brought some additional concerns, but the telephone call and clear instructions on what to expect made all the difference.
