Orthodontics and Invisible
Braces in Barnet
Wish you could straighten your teeth without a mouth full of metal? Invisible braces make that possible for a lot of patients. At Mona Lisa Smiles in Barnet, we provide orthodontic treatment using Invisalign, the clear aligner system often searched for as invisible braces, to help patients work towards a more aligned smile with more comfort and discretion than traditional braces.
Many adults and teenagers want to straighten their teeth but are put off by the appearance of conventional metal braces. Modern orthodontic solutions can fit more comfortably into everyday life while working towards long-lasting results.
What Is Orthodontic Treatment?
Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry focused on correcting the position of teeth and jaws. By gradually moving teeth into better alignment, treatment can improve both smile aesthetics and oral function, addressing crooked or crowded teeth, gaps, overbites, underbites, crossbites, and other bite irregularities.
What Are Invisible Braces?
At Mona Lisa Smiles, invisible braces means Invisalign, a system of clear, removable aligners that gradually straighten teeth while being far less noticeable than traditional metal braces. They’re popular among adults and older teenagers who want effective treatment without drawing attention to their appliances.
Why Straighten Your Teeth?
- A more balanced, attractive smile
- Easier brushing and flossing
- Reduced risk of excessive wear and other dental problems
- Improved bite function
- Many patients feel more confident with a straighter smile
Common Orthodontic Problems
The Orthodontic Treatment Process
Your journey begins with a comprehensive assessment of tooth alignment, bite relationships, oral health, and your goals. From there, we create a personalised treatment plan, monitor your progress with regular reviews, and once treatment is complete, provide retainers to help maintain your results.
Invisible Braces vs Traditional Braces
Invisalign clear aligners offer a more discreet appearance and comfortable design, and are popular among adults. Traditional braces remain well suited to more complex cases, with a long track record of effectiveness. The best option depends on your individual needs, which we’ll discuss at your consultation.
Orthodontics and Smile Makeovers
Orthodontic treatment is often an important part of a wider smile design plan. Straightening teeth before cosmetic procedures can improve overall aesthetics, enhance treatment outcomes, and reduce the need for restorative adjustments later on. Many patients combine orthodontic treatment with whitening, bonding, or veneers.
