Say the word \u2018brace\u2019 to most dental patients and they\nwill make a quick exit from the room. The negative connotations that surround\nbraces are almost universal and many patients are unaware of the different\ntypes of braces available through advances in dentistry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Braces<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

At Craigentinny<\/strong>,\nwe are aware that being told you need <\/a>braces in Edinburgh<\/a> can feel daunting but fret not. At our\nsurgery, depending on the severity of your misalignment, our dental team will\nbe able to offer you different types of aligners and braces, to help you\nachieve a straighter, healthier smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cosmetic braces<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It can seem like a strange idea, but many adults and\neven teenagers are able to undertake cosmetic <\/a>braces in Edinburgh<\/strong>. Unlike traditional orthodontic\nbraces which help restore functionality and correct malocclusions, cosmetic\nbraces help straighten the teeth at the front of your mouth, to enhance your\nsmile and boost your confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, what are the different types of brace or aligner\nwe can offer at Craigentinny?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inman aligner<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Inman aligner is a removable, clear brace that has\nan accelerated treatment time. One of our more popular <\/a>braces in Edinburgh<\/strong>, this aligner uses coil springs and opposing bows to guide the teeth into\ntheir new position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After it is fitted, you will be required to wear it\nfor 16-20 hours a day and you will need to have regular check ups every 2-3 weeks.\nThe treatment time with the Inman Aligner varies, but most cases are completed\nwithin 6-18 weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Six Months Smile<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This brace does exactly what is says on the tin; the\naverage treatment time for the Six Months Smile brace is 6 months, with many treatments\nbeing shorter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A brace that is suitable for anyone over the age of\n16, who has crooked, spaced or moderate misalignment, this brace can either be\nremovable or fitted, depending on the severity of the malocclusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aligners or braces are made of a soft, flexible\nplastic, to provide you with maximum comfort throughout your treatment and the\nSix Month Smile aligner provides you with a faster and more predictable outcome\nthan other aligners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clear braces<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most popular type of brace used in adult cosmetic\ndentistry is that of the clear or invisible braces. At Craigentinny<\/strong>, we are proud to be able to offer our patients the\nfamous Invisalign braces, to provide a discreet way to correct their teeth in a\nminimal amount of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clear braces are removable and must be worn for 20\nhours a day to be efficient. As they are both removable and invisible, these\nare the best option for people with busy schedules or jobs that rely on a\nflawless appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The average treatment time of the Invisalign aligner is 12 months, but with the slightly longer regimen time comes more predictability and a reduced time wearing a retainer post treatment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
