Advanced solutions that work fast

When it comes to straightening the ‘social six’ – the teeth that show when you smile – you may not have to resign yourself to lengthy treatment with fixed metal braces. Lifestyle-friendly retainer-style braces provide a discreet solution that can be removed for eating and cleaning, and work much faster than traditional braces, often in a matter of weeks or months.

FAQs

How do removable braces work?
