Braces: what do you picture when you hear that word? Chances are you will visualise metal train-track appliances. At Dublin 18 Dental Rooms we are keen to point out that in the modern day and age this is far from the only option for patients requiring orthodontic treatment.

Read on to discover the subtler alternatives we offer at our Dublin clinic. . .

Discreet braces and aligners in Dublin

Discreet orthodontics involves the use of either fixed braces or removable aligners to move your teeth into an improved position, without the whole world needing to know you are undergoing treatment. In fact, many of the devices used at our Dublin dental Room are so discreet that even your nearest and dearest will only know you are having treatment if you choose to tell them.

Depending on what your treatment needs are – the type and amount of orthodontic correction required – plus your personal preferences, your dentist may prescribe cosmetic braces or clear aligners to adjust the position of your teeth. The merits of all appropriate treatments will be discussed at the time of your initial consultation.

Here are some of the aligners and braces we offer at our Dublin clinic:

Clearstep Aligners

Clearstep is a series of aligners that gradually move your teeth into an improved position. They are custom-made to fit over your teeth precisely, and your dentist will give you enough aligners to complete your treatment. Every two weeks, you change your aligner as your teeth start to move. Because they are clear they will go unnoticed in daily life, and because they are removable they ensure maintaining good dental hygiene is easy.

Six Month Smiles

Six Month Smiles are fixed cosmetic braces that are made of clear and tooth-coloured elements. They swiftly move your front teeth into a better position, creating a beautiful straight smile.
