At Hove Dental, we offer teeth straightening treatments at extremely high standards. Whether you choose to opt for our clear, fixed, or removable braces, cosmetic tooth alignment at our clinic starts from Ā£2,000. If you would like to know the precise cost of treatment for you, book a consultation with one of our dentists today so they can advise you.
Invisible Braces for Adults
Braces are one of the most effective methods used for straightening teeth and they are most commonly used during the teenage years when the teeth and jaw are still developing. However, this doesnāt mean invisible braces for adults arenāt an option. In fact, at Hove Dental we provide orthodontic treatment for many adults looking to straighten their teeth and achieve great results.
Thanks to the advancements in dental technologies, you often wonāt even notice that the person you are talking to is wearing invisible braces. So, if you are an adult looking for orthodontic treatment later in life, our invisible braces for adults could be the solution.

Invisible Braces: Time Period for Treatment
Just like traditional braces, invisible braces are attached to the teeth via tooth-coloured brackets which are then connected with a wire. This type of brace system is effective for treating all kinds of tooth misalignment. Through careful treatment by the Hove Dental team, and specific placement of the brackets, we can manipulate your teeth into proper alignment over a period of 18-24 months. The treatment time for invisible braces usually takes 18-24 months, depending on the severity of your tooth misalignment and your specific requirements.
Invisible brace treatment is not painful. If anything, patients tend to report sore teeth for a day or two after each tightening appointment. While wearing invisible braces, you will need to take extra care to keep your teeth clean so that treatment is clean and comfortable. Keeping your teeth clean and maintaining good oral hygiene will also have the benefit of making your braces far less obvious, especially when viewed from a distance.
Invisalign vs Invisible Braces
Many people considering invisible braces ask us what the difference is between these and invisalign treatments. While both brace treatments do an effective job of straightening misaligned teeth discreetly, there are some differences between these treatment types.
The most notable difference between invisalign and invisible braces is brackets. Invisalign is a clear retainer that can be worn over the teeth for a discreet teeth straightening treatment. Invisible braces, in contrast, are like traditional metal braces except that the wires and brackets are made to be tooth-coloured for a more inconspicuous treatment solution.
How to Care for Your Teeth with Invisible Braces
If you choose invisible braces, you will need to clean your braces and teeth properly and take some extra precautions while wearing them so that they stay invisible. It is important to take some extra time each day to clean your braces, being sure to work between the nooks and crannies in your teeth when food can often get stuck, leading to a build-up of bad bacteria. If at all possible, you should prioritise cleaning your braces straight after eating or rinsing them well with water if this isnāt possible.
While undergoing teeth straightening treatment, it is important to avoid certain foods that could get stuck in your braces or cause them to break. Foods to avoid include the following:
- Hard foods like nuts, ice, and biscuits
- Crunchy foods like raw carrots, apples, and crisps
- Chewy foods like cereal bars, chewing gum, and sweets
- Acidic foods like vinaigrette dressings, fruit juices, and pickles.
Bad habits like nail biting or chewing the ends of pencils can also be damaging to your braces, causing damage to the wires and brackets, so it is best to avoid. Invisible braces can be more brittle than metal, so it is important you do everything you can to take care of your braces properly. If you are unsure about anything, our dentists at Hove Dental will provide you with advice and suggestions for proper brace treatment and care.
