Frequently Asked Questions

What are cosmetic braces and how do they work?

Cosmetic braces are a modern orthodontic treatment designed to straighten your teeth without the look of traditional metal braces. They apply gentle pressure to move your teeth into the correct position. These braces can include clear ceramic brackets, lingual braces fitted behind the teeth, and clear aligners like Invisalign.

What types of cosmetic braces do you offer?

At our Islington clinic, we offer various type of braces:
Invisalign® clear aligners – discreet, removable trays

Are cosmetic braces effective for all dental problems?

Cosmetic braces can help correct crooked teeth, crowded teeth, spacing issues, and overbites. For complex orthodontic problems, fixed metal braces may still be more suitable—but most mild to moderate issues can be treated cosmetically.

Clear Aligners like Spark Aligners, 32Co or Invisalign; are even more discreet as they are virtually invisible option.

Will wearing cosmetic braces affect my daily life?

Are cosmetic braces a good alternative to traditional braces?

Yes, cosmetic braces typically are a clear alternative to traditional braces—offering similar results without the prominent metal look. Clear ceramic braces, Spark Aligners, and Invisalign all work effectively to move your teeth while fitting more discreetly into your daily life. Many patients find these types of cosmetic orthodontic treatment more suitable for social and professional settings.

How do braces and aligners actually work?

Both braces and aligners straighten your teeth by applying gentle, consistent pressure to the teeth using brackets, wires, or custom-made plastic trays. Over time, this pressure moves your teeth in place. Your dentist or orthodontist will create a treatment plan tailored to your alignment issues using 3D digital scans to monitor progress and results.

What are invisible braces and how are they different?

Invisible braces refer to treatments like Spark Aligners and Invisalign. These systems use transparent plastic trays that fit over your teeth and are virtually unnoticeable. They're removable, easy to clean, and a popular choice among adults who want a clear alternative to traditional braces for straighter smiles.

Will I need to wear braces even if my teeth are only slightly misaligned?

Even mildly misaligned teeth can benefit from cosmetic teeth straightening. You may not need fixed braces like Six Month Smiles —treatment with Spark Aligners, 32Co Aligners or Invisalign could be suitable depending on your case. We’ll assess whether you need cosmetic braces or aligners during your consultation.

Is there a cosmetic option for correcting an overbite?

Yes. Clear aligners like Spark and Invisalign can correct mild to moderate overbites. Your dentist will determine if these invisible braces can achieve the results you need or if you require more complex orthodontic procedures.

What are the benefits of ceramic braces compared to metal ones?

Ceramic braces are less visible and blend in with the colour of the teeth. Though similar to traditional metal braces in structure, they use brackets and tooth-coloured wires to provide a more discreet experience. Ceramic braces are a great choice for patients looking for fixed braces without the metallic appearance.

Are cosmetic braces suitable for kids or teens?

Yes. While regular metal braces are often used for children, we also offer braces for kids and teens who want a more aesthetic option. Clear ceramic braces and aligners like Invisalign Teen or Spark are increasingly popular for younger patients.

What is the length of treatment for cosmetic braces?

Cosmetic teeth straightening take roughly 6 to 24 months depending on the severity of the alignment issues. Some treatments, like Six Month Smiles, are designed to produce results in as little as 6 months. We’ll provide a realistic timeline during your assessment.

What can I expect after getting braces or aligners?

Braces work by applying pressure on your teeth, so you may feel mild pressure feeling on your teeth for a few days, as they begin to move. This is completely normal and is a sign that the braces or aligners are working. With good dental hygiene and regular check-ups, you’ll be on your way to a perfect smile.

Do you offer a clear alternative for every type of orthodontic issue?

We offer a full range of cosmetic solutions, including Spark Aligners, Invisalign, Six Month Smiles, and clear ceramic braces. We have recently stopped braces that are fixed at the back of the teeth because it takes much longer to complete treatment.
