Teeth Straightening at Seapoint Clinic

Teeth Straightening at Seapoint Clinic

When it comes to straightening your teeth, many people assume that their only option is to opt for bulky, metal braces. However, as modern dentistry continues to advance it enables us to provide far more discreet treatments to a wider range of people than ever before. Long gone are the days of cumbersome, awkward and uncomfortable braces. Replaced instead with Invisalign and Six Month Braces. So, how do you know what treatment suits you best...

Invisalign

Invisalign is rapidly becoming one of our most popular forms of orthodontic treatment, thanks to its incredibly discreet design. We often find that people in the past will have been put off wearing traditional braces because of their metal appearance. However, with Invisalign, most people won't even realise you're undergoing treatment. Invisalign uses custom-made aligners. As they are removable, it means you can eat, drink and brush your teeth as normal throughout the entirety of treatment. Treatment can take about a year to complete but may go quicker where fewer movements are required. Even if you wore braces when you were younger, you can still opt for Invisalign treatment.

I was apprehensive at first but I only ended up having them on for 4 months and now I love my teeth!

Six Month Braces

Six Month Braces are the number one treatment when it comes to getting straight  teeth in the shortest possible time. As treatment focuses solely on your front teeth, the results are purely for cosmetic purposes only. This means that if you do require any adjustments to your overall bite, you may have to opt for conventional braces. 

Here at Seapoint Clinic, you can avail of both Six Month Braces and conventional braces in see-through or metal finish braces. The white braces match your natural tooth colour, making them discreet and practically invisible unless viewed up close.
