At <strong>Craigentinny<\/strong>, clear braces are hardly\nnoticeable because they are designed specifically for adults. Whether\nyou opt for Six Month Smiles or the Inman Aligner, our experienced dentists\nwill ease you through every step of the treatment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Six Month Smiles<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Six Month Smiles treatment works just like\ntraditional braces, but focuses only on the front teeth without altering your\nbite. This teeth straightening system is very subtle and ideal for adults who\nwish to change the appearance of their front teeth, since it consists of clear\nbrackets and thin tooth-coloured wires. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The low-force pressure and short treatment\ntime (6 months on average) result in fewer visits to our practice, saving you\ntime and discomfort. Six Month Smiles usually costs less than traditional\nbraces and is ideal for patients who want to straighten their teeth for a\nspecial occasion (i.e. a wedding, a graduation, a job interview).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Inman Aligner<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Inman Aligner is not a new treatment \u2013\nin fact, it has been used for quite some years now, but has recently gained\npopularity due to its subtle appearance over metal braces. This simple, removable\nand powerful appliance works much like a standard retainer but instead uses an\ninnovative alignment system of opposing forces to correct misaligned or mild to\nmoderately crooked teeth. Results are obvious in only a few weeks provided that\nyou follow your dentist\u2019s instructions closely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Time to schedule a consultation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are an adult interested in <strong>braces in Edinburgh<\/strong> and you have questions about their functionality, you are welcome to book a consultation appointment with our dental team. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In recent years, teeth straightening has become very popular among adults.
