Secret Smiles Braces Glasgow
Secret Smiles is an innovative lingual braces system. Unlike traditional fixed braces, lingual braces are fitted to the back surface of teeth, which means that they are virtually impossible to see. Secret Smiles braces are generally recommended for mild or moderate cases and treatment can be complete within just 6 months.
How does treatment work?
Secret Smiles braces generate forces, which cause the teeth to move into position. The lingual braces are applied to the back of the teeth so that they cannot be seen when you smile.
What does the procedure involve?
As the shape and contours of the lingual side of the teeth are different the brackets are fixed one by one; the wire is then threaded through to support the brackets.
What are the benefits of Secret Smiles braces?
- Invisibility: Lingual braces are invisible when you smile because they are applied to the back of the teeth, not the front teeth as with traditional fixed braces. This treatment is very popular with people who have previously been put off having treatment because they were worried about how they would look when wearing braces.
- Treatment time: Treatment may be complete within just 6 weeks.
- Comfort: Secret Smiles braces are light, the brackets are small and fine. There is also no need for painful adjustments or appointments to tighten the braces.
