BRACES that straighten Adult Teeth in only 4 to 8 Months, that are Tooth-Coloured too? YES this new FAST treatment from the USA is available at our SmileSpecialist® Centre. Tooth Braces and Orthodontics can move and straighten teeth and yes the ideal time for Orthodontic tooth Braces is around the 11-14 years old stage, when your bones are still growing and haven't fully set yet. Thus most Adults feel it is too late for them to benefit from tooth Braces and Starighter teeth, especially if they have been told it takes even longer in Adults than children to move teeth and could involve 2 or even 3 years of Brace treatments! However if it's mainly the front teeth that bother you, there are newer, faster braces that move teeth and show very little metal now, so a much better smile could be yours in a matter of just MONTHS rather than years. See below for an example of what can be achived in just 7 months:

Do I Need Tooth Straightening Braces as an Adult?

Only you and your Dentist can determine if Braces are going to help you improve your Smile and bite in a way that is best for you, however for most Adults where it would take years to move and align the back teeth, this does not bother dults as much as the Front teeth being uneven or even in cross-bite, where the teeth overlap the wron way. Thus if your Back teeth OK to eat with and are stable, then just concentrating on straightening the front teeth so they are even and straight, can mean fixed braces may only have to be worn for 6 months or so, to get the desired result. Most Adults can put up with the inconvenience of wearing Braces for 6 months or so, but the idea of doing this for 2 or 3 years is often off-putting and many Adults will refuse this. However if you are looking for as perfect as possible Orthodontic result for your WHOLE mouth, including straightening the very back-teeth too, then a full course of Orthodontics lasting 2 or 3 years may well be for you, though even then a perfect result may not be as attainable as if the treatment was done when you were say 12 years old and still growing!

Now look at the picture below - yes this young lady who is nearly at the end of her FastWhiteBracesTM treatment, which is SO MUCH MORE than just having tooth-coloured brackets and wires, because the technique, design, planning and application is unique too, that's why there is simply nothing else that compares toFastWhiteBracesTM treatments and materials !!!

Of course even FastWhiteBracesTM design and technology like this still has some inconvienience and getting used to, just like slower traditional or cosmetic braces, but FastWhiteBracesTM addresses MANY of the usual objections Adults have about wearing braces to straighten their uneven teeth (see above), you can have an alternative that can give you very good Cosmetic results, very quickly compared to traditional Braces, in a much more Cosmetically acceptable way too! Indeed your friends and work colleagues will want to know ALL about these latest FastWhiteBracesTM that you have and may not even spot at first that you are wearing these. Would YOU be happy with those results above in a matter of Months ? 

In ALL forms of Orthodontics now (Slow Traditional or Quick FastWhiteBraces) science has shown that moved teeth are prone to "rebound", which means the natural tendency is for teeth is to drift back to their original positions when the braces are stopped being worn. This means you HAVE TO WEAR A RETAINER for the rest of your life basically, or risk relapse and reversal of the improvements made. We can provide FIXED retainers, which are bonded behind your front 6 teeth OR removal retainers that are like thin bleaching trays !

What do FastWhiteBracesTM Cost on average?

Well not as much as you think, if just one Arch is the problem (upper or lower) then this costs about £1990, including all visits for something that is more Cosmetic and works quicker than traditional metal fixed braces. If you wish upper and lower arches done together then the total is £2990 including all visits and will of course give a better overall result.

The only additional costs are those of Retention afterwards - whether these are fixed-wires glued behind the lower and upper front teeth, or removable splints that you have to wear every night to keep the teeth in their new straighter position, we charge the same, about £195 per case we've completed.

How do FastWhiteBracesTM Costs compare to Other Braces costs?

The costs are a little higher than standard all-metal Braces worn for some 2 years+ (normally £2000-£2500) and about the same costs as tooth-coloured brackets worn for 2 years, but cheaper than clear aligners like Invisalign, but Invisalign can take 3 years to complete, takes numerous visits by comparison and mainly tips teeth well, but struggles to rotate or move teeth vertically up and down, thus needing a longer time and the results may not be as good. A removable appliance with springs may only take 6-12 months treatment, but is bulkier in the mouth, can get more easily damaged or lost and again, mainly works by tipping teeth, so has it's limitations too.

Clearly there are a number of options to consider and not everyone is suitable for Adult Braces and there are other alternative treatments. Your Dentist or Specialist can discuss ALL the options with you, including Traditional metal and unique FastWhiteBracesTM options, other Restorative choices etc.

A Cosmetic Consultation at our SmileSpecialist® Centre costs just £99 and takes 45 mins and we will look at Braces, Whitening, Veneers, Crowns, Bridges, Cosmetic Bonding and recontouring etc, etc, to help address the aspects of your Smile you may wish to improve. At the end of that visit you will have an outline Treatment Plan, Estimate of costs and timescales and a good idea of all the alternatives (or combination of options) that would best meet your wishes, needs, budget and timescale overall.
