Different braces for different faces

In this age of public image, the way you look can determine much of your academic, social and even professional success. An increasingly popular way to improve the way your smile looks is by choosing braces in West Malling. There would seem to be some irony in the fact that to look better, you must look awkward for a while. This is no longer the case with the help of One Smile Oral Care.

Whereas children have become used to wearing braces and are seldom picked on due to this fact, adults have a hard time getting used to wearing traditional fixed metal braces in their mouths. Consequently, newer, less unsightly alternatives have been created and are now available here at One Smile Oral Care.

Braces in West MallingWhat are ceramic braces in West Malling?

One of the less noticeable types of braces treatments are ceramic braces. They have been specifically designed to cater for adults and their need to look after their dental health without looking like a teenager. By blending with your natural teeth colour, these types of braces in West Malling are far less conspicuous and much more becoming than their traditional metal counterparts.

Ceramic benefits

A huge benefit of our ceramic options is that they cannot be seen so easily because the brackets are either white or tooth-coloured. However, brackets are not the only clear thing. The wires and ties are also clear-coloured to complement the brackets. Even metal arch wires look less evident with this innovative system.

Another reason these are more suited to our adult patients is that they need a little extra care than metal types. Since grown-ups are more normally more capable of looking after these braces than younger patients, we don’t normally recommend ceramic braces for young teenage patients.

In some cases, the brackets are more prone to breaking than metal ones and although these brackets do not stain, the wires or ties used to hold them together can do. This means that taking care of invisible braces in West Malling is vital, not only hygiene-wise, but also (and above all) with the food you eat to ensure damage does not happen.
