Modern Teeth Straightening Options
Invisalign Clear Aligners
Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, clear plastic aligners to gradually straighten your teeth. The aligners are virtually invisible, removable for eating and cleaning, and comfortable to wear. This makes Invisalign particularly popular with adults who want discreet teeth straightening in Shrewsbury.
Fixed Cosmetic Braces
Modern fixed braces are far more discreet than traditional metal braces. Options include tooth-colored ceramic brackets and clear braces that blend with your natural teeth. These work efficiently to straighten teeth while remaining relatively inconspicuous.
Lingual Braces
Lingual braces are fitted to the back of your teeth, making them completely invisible from the front. They’re ideal if you want the effectiveness of fixed braces with complete discretion.
We’ll discuss all suitable options during your consultation at our Shrewsbury practice and recommend the best approach for your specific needs and lifestyle.
Benefits of Adult Braces and Cosmetic Orthodontics
Improved Confidence
Straighter teeth can transform your confidence. Many of our adult patients in Shrewsbury tell us that cosmetic orthodontics has positively impacted their personal and professional lives, giving them the confidence to smile freely.
Discreet Treatment Options
Modern teeth straightening solutions are designed with adult lifestyles in mind. Clear aligners and tooth-colored braces allow you to straighten your teeth without the obvious appearance of traditional metal braces.
Better Oral Health
Straight teeth are easier to clean effectively, reducing your risk of tooth decay and gum disease. Improved alignment can also help prevent excessive wear on your teeth and reduce jaw strain.
Faster Results
Cosmetic orthodontics often achieves results more quickly than traditional orthodontics. Many cases are completed within 6-18 months, though this varies depending on your individual circumstances.
Tailored to Your Lifestyle
We understand that as an adult, you have work commitments, social events, and a busy schedule. Modern teeth straightening options like Invisalign offer flexibility, allowing you to remove your aligners for important occasions while still achieving excellent results.
