Your Adult Cosmetic Braces Options in Mullan Gallagher
Teeth straightening braces have been around for a long time and help correct lots of different positional and growth issues, we focus on those used to improve the alignment of front teeth (cosmetic zone) in adults.
Braces work by moving teeth slowly millimeter and millimeter until they are in their desired position. Braces can be fixed or removable and they may be needed for just a few weeks, a few months an occasionally a year or more dependent on the amount of movement needed to straighten the teeth.
Adult teeth are crooked either because there wasn’t enough room for them to line up properly when they erupted or because chewing forces and habits have caused them to move into an unattractive position.
Recent advances in orthodontics offer a wide range of exciting and innovative solutions for straightening crooked teeth with relative ease.

ClearSmile Brace uses traditional techniques with new technology to reduce orthodontic treatment times and improve the appearance of the braces. The ClearSmile Brace wires are coated white (rather than being silver) and uses a material (Ni-Ti) with shape-memory. This shape memory means the wire will return to its original shape regardless of how it’s bent. This creates the gentle forces used to move your teeth to the desired position. ClearSmile Brace is mainly used to straighten the front 10 teeth for aesthetic reasons. ClearSmile Brace uses clear brackets, as opposed to metal brackets. The wire used in a ClearSmile Brace is also coated with a tooth coloured material. As a result, ClearSmile Brace is less visible than traditional fixed braces.
