orthodontic guide
31 March 2023

More than three-quarters (84%) of orthodontists have seen a spike in adult patients according to the British Orthodontic Society (BOS). So, why is it becoming so popular? We focus on some of the benefits of getting orthodontic treatment and the different options available.

Orthodontics

Here at Aesthetique Dental Care in Leeds, we offer several different orthodontic treatments, which can be suited to your needs and lifestyle and what you are hoping to achieve with your smile. Our expert dentists have years of experience to guide you on the benefits of each appliance. Each one is highly effective and can transform your smile and correct a multitude of issues, such as misalignments, gaps, overcrowding, and crooked teeth.

Many patients who have undergone orthodontic treatment at our private dentist in Leeds say it has changed their lives. They have more confidence to smile and don’t shy away from showing their teeth. For some, getting straighter teeth is something they have wanted to do for a long time but never considered it was possible as an adult. This is not the case, there is an orthodontic solution to suit every lifestyle, which is why many people are now taking the plunge and are so happy that they finally did.

Some of the benefits of orthodontics treatments

  • Greater confidence
  • Better oral hygiene as teeth can be cleaned more easily
  • Improved functionality
  • Better long-term oral health

What orthodontic appliance should I choose?

Orthodontic appliances

If you’re considering orthodontic treatment, you may have heard of Invisalign, Six Month Smiles, Inman Aligners, and lingual braces. These are all popular options for straightening teeth, but they each have their own unique benefits and drawbacks.

Invisalign

Invisalign is a clear aligner system that uses a series of removable trays to slowly move your teeth into their desired position. The trays are made of a thin, flexible plastic that is virtually invisible when worn. Invisalign treatment is a popular choice for people who want to straighten their teeth without having to wear braces.

Six Month Smiles

Six Month Smiles is a similar clear aligner system that uses a series of removable trays to straighten teeth. However, Six Month Smiles is designed for a shorter treatment time than Invisalign. The trays are worn for two weeks at a time, and the treatment is typically completed in six months.

Inman Aligners

Inman Aligners are a type of aligner system that uses a series of removable trays to straighten teeth. However, Inman Aligners are not transparent like Invisalign trays. They are made of a white plastic that is visible when worn. Inman Aligners are a good option for people who want to straighten their teeth without having to wear braces, but who are not concerned about the visibility of their aligners.

Lingual Braces

Lingual braces are a type of traditional braces that are placed on the back of the teeth. Lingual braces are not visible when you smile, which makes them a good option for people who want to straighten their teeth without others knowing. Lingual braces are typically more expensive than traditional braces.

Which Option Is Right for You?

Which option

The best option for you will depend on your individual needs and preferences. If you are looking for a clear aligner system that is virtually invisible when worn, Invisalign or Six Month Smiles may be a good option for you. If you are looking for a lingual brace that is not visible when you smile, lingual braces may be a good option for you. If you are looking for a more affordable option, Inman Aligners may be a good option for you.

It is important to talk to your orthodontist about the best option for you. We can help you decide which option is right for your individual needs and preferences.
