Clear Braces - Commonly Asked Questions
Orthodontist Essex
Dental Essex - What Is An Orthodontist?
An orthodontist is a dentist with specialised training in orthodontics or braces. An orthodontist should be registered with the GDC and regularly attend further training in orthodontic treatments such as clear braces or Inman Aligners.
Dental Essex - What Types of Clear Braces Are There?
Types of braces available are: - Inman Aligner – removable invisible braces – a quick way of straightening front teeth - Clearstep – invisible braces – will only move teeth a little – good for mild crowding
Dental Essex – How Much Do They Cost?
Clear braces such as Clearstep and Inman Aligners vary in price for individual cases, but usually start from as low as £1500 for each arch, either upper or lower.
Orthodontist Essex – How Long Will It Take?
Every case is individual; it may take from a few weeks to several months. This depends on how far the teeth need to be moved and if there are any teeth that need to be extracted.
Orthodontist Essex – How Far Will The Teeth Move?
Again, every case is individual and how far they will move depends on the amount of space available in the mouth. Some space is able to be made if the teeth are crowded. This will be just enough for the teeth to move into the correct position. If you have gaps in between your teeth there will be no need to make any space.
Are They Invisible?
Clear braces are clear and not invisible. They are not completely invisible as there is a clear part at the front that actually moves the teeth. Clearstep is less noticeable that the Inman Aligner.
Orthodontics– Does It Hurt?
Initially, when the brace is fitted, there is some slight discomfort but it is not painful enough to need painkillers. After a few days the tenderness will fade, until the next time the brace is adjusted. The brace itself is not uncomfortable to wear.
