Teeth straightening techniques have been used for years. We all know a friend from school who supported silver braces on their teeth in order to straighten any misalignments. Thanks to major advances in orthodontic treatments, people of all ages are now choosing to fix their crooked smiles for straighter smiles.

There has been a seventy five percent increase in adults seeking teeth straightening, according to the British Orthodontics Society report of 2019. Teeth straightening can be done successfully at any age, there is no age limit as long as the teeth and gums are healthy.

The process to straighten teeth has become less daunting for adults with clear plastic aligners and other clear treatments, which are not as noticeable and obvious. Aligners are a gradual process to discreetly straighten teeth. The process is easy and requires the patient to wear a set for a week or two and then move to another set.

Invisalign, the market leader in aligner technology, has created clear aligners that are able to do most of the work that metal braces are able to achieve. Aligner technology can do ninety five percent the work of fixed braces. Aligner technology is still considered relatively new and is constantly and rapidly advancing.

Neeru Korpal, the Owner of EyeSmile, said “The entire process is easy for the patient and for the dentist. Using a digital scanner, we take an image of the teeth, which is then sent to Invisalign, who provide a digital treatment plan. This means no moulds or impressions are needed. It is controlled and proven technology that has been used by more than six million people around the world.”

Braces have been around for centuries, but in the last thirty years or so, people have had the option to straighten their teeth using a clear aligner, this can be done in the comfort of your own home under supervision of a dentist. Traditional braces are still used in complex cases, including extreme overcrowding and overbites.
