Cosmetic dentistry is the specialist area of the profession that deals with the aesthetic appearance of your smile. At Broadway Dental Clinic in Loughton we offer a number of cosmetic treatments large and small, all designed to boost your smile and with it improve your self-confidence.

One of the most frequently requested cosmetic dentistry procedures at our Loughton dental practice is for straighter teeth.

A lot of people still operate under the mistaken believe that orthodontics has to equate metal braces, with treatment times of up to two years. However, cosmetic dentistry offers a number of subtler ways to straighten your teeth.

Here are the discreet teeth straightening treatments available from our cosmetic dentistry menu at our Loughton clinic:

Six Month Smiles

Six Month Smiles are cosmetic braces that are made up of clear brackets and tooth-coloured nickel-titanium wires. These braces are designed to blend into your mouth so they are not particularly obvious in everyday life.

As the name suggests, the average treatment time with these braces is just six months (many cases are complete even quicker). They work so quickly because they focus on the front six to eight teeth – those that show when you flash a smile.

Invisalign

Invisalign is a series of clear, removable aligners that discreetly move your teeth into a better position whilst being invisible to the untrained eye. Your dentist will be able to show you what results you can expect from the outset of treatment when you come for an Invisalign consultation at our Loughton clinic.

The exact number of aligners and the length of your treatment will depend on the type and amount of correction required. Because you can take them out for short periods to eat, drink, and to clean, Invisalign treatment has a minimal impact on your lifestyle.
