The &Alex Approach

Our Approach to Adult Orthodontics

If, like many adults, you would like to have straighter teeth but feel you’re too old for conventional braces for a couple of years, &Alex can offer a range of short term treatments to give you the smile you’re looking for.

These short term treatments include Secret smile Lingual Braces, 6 Month Smile, Smile Trus, Invisalign and more – your dentist will be able to advise which is the best one for you.

Our Step-by-Step Process

This step-by-step guide applies to nearly all of our short-term orthodontic treatments.

  1.  We carry out a detailed examination of your teeth before designing a personalised treatment plan which we will fully discuss with you before proceeding any further.
  2. We design your bespoke appliance and fit it to your teeth.
  3. You will then return to us for a number of short, pre-booked review appointments so any necessary adjustments can be made.
  4. Your braces will be removed once you and your dentist are happy with the result. This may be in as little as a few months but depends on your individual treatment plan.
  5. A permanent retainer will be fitted to ensure that the treatment does not start to relapse. At this appointment you will also have a chance to refine, enhance or make minor adjustments to your smile. Any tooth contouring can be done at this stage.
