Metal braces are far from the only option for modern-day tooth straightening. At 61 Dental in Stockport we appreciate that the mere thought of a fixed metal appliance can be enough of a barrier to treatment to put many adults off, which is why we offer some subtler alternatives.

It is always beneficial to straighten your teeth, whatever your age and however slight your concern may seem. Straightening your teeth improves your dental hygiene by making them easier to keep clean. Combined with an effective home brushing and flossing regime and regular visits to your Stockport dentist and hygienist, improving the alignment of your teeth can reduce your chances of gum disease and tooth decay, which can both cause tooth loss.

Stockport braces and aligners

When you come into 61 Dental in Stockport for a tooth straightening consultation, you will be seen by an experienced cosmetic dentist, who will perform a clinical examination to work out whether braces or aligners will best suit your needs.

We have carried out many successful adult tooth straightening procedures at our Stockport dental practice, so you can rest assured that we will find the perfect solution to suit your needs.

Depending on your clinical needs – the type and amount of correction required – your Stockport dentist may recommend. . .

Quick Straight Teeth

As the name suggests, Quick Straight Teeth are designed for rapid improvement of tooth alignment. These fixed braces work rapidly to correct issues affecting the front six to eight teeth – those that show when you smile – and are next-to invisible, so that most people won’t notice them during daily life.

Invisalign

This is a popular alternative to fixed braces at our Stockport practice. Indeed, Invisalign has been used to successfully straighten more than three million patients’ teeth worldwide to date. Treatment involves the use of a series of clear, removable aligners to gently guide the teeth into a better position. You can take them out for eating, drinking, and cleaning, and they won’t be spotted in everyday life.

Inman Aligner

A single-use clear aligner, the Inman Aligner has a unique design that enables rapid correction of protrusion and crowding of the front teeth.
