Adult Braces
Dentists offer a wide choice of cosmetic braces at our Leicester clinic
The dentists at Smile Essential are always seeking to advance their knowledge of dental treatments and dental services. Dr Niket Patel recently went on another cosmetic brace course.
We have been offering the Six Month Smiles brace system for quite some time and now offer other systems such as Quick Straight Teeth and Cfast braces. The dentist will usually have a chat at a free consultation about the improvements you would like to make and if it’s possibly then they would invite you back for a more in-depth consultation and to select the most suitable brace system for yourself.
The cosmetic brace systems we use are:
- Fast– You will have straight from teeth in about four to nine months.
- Discreet– the wires and brackets are white and clear.
- Affordable– the short treatment time dramatically cuts the cost.
Many adults are now realising that fixing their uneven smile is quite straightforward. They can have a cosmetically pleasing brace for a short period of time and at half of the cost of conventional orthodontics. In just a short while you can have a confident smile.
The celebrity choice for smile makeovers.
Cosmetic braces are being used more and more by celebrities nowadays too. Before this the favoured choice seemed to be veneers. Whilst still an option a number of people (dentists included) would prefer to go down the more conservative route and keep your teeth as natural as possible.
With amazing results created in such a short time period, it’s not surprising that cosmetic brace systems such as Cfast has been a choice for celebrities for the perfect smile since its UK launch. Holly Willoughby, Alexandra Burke and Kirk Norcross have all been treated to Cfast braces and could not be happier!!

6 Month Smile Before and After…
Dr Shrikesh Kotecha straightens out the truth about adult braces
Adults having braces is becoming increasingly common. Mums and Dads are seeing the massive benefits of having a nice, straight teeth and are going through orthodontic treatment with their teenagers.
But with so many options available to patients to improve their smile and straighten their teeth, it can be daunting to know where to start.
Here we interview Dr Shrikesh Kotecha of Smile Essential Dental Practice in Leicester to try and shed some light on the subject:
Why do you think more adults are having brace treatment?
“During the last five years a number of cosmetic brace systems have become available specifically designed for adults who have lived with crooked or overlapping teeth or even spaces/gaps between their teeth which can now be corrected in as little as four months without the stigma sometimes associated with metal or ‘train-track’ braces.”
What options are available to straighten people’s teeth?
“A number of options are available including cosmetic braces and clear aligners along with more traditional braces and treatments such as crowns and veneers.”
Which is better veneers or braces?
“I always believe that any treatment that is more conservative is always the better option for a patient. Treatments such as veneers can be carried out in certain clinical situations for example, to help to mask a discoloured (or is it discolored) tooth. As a profession there has been an emphasis on minimally invasive dentistry and I feel that providing brace treatments goes hand in hand with that ethos.”
Is it expensive?
“No, with advances in technology with things such as Six Month Smiles braces treatments are affordable for everybody. We also offer a number of 0% interest free flexible payment options too.”
Is there a health benefit to having straighter teeth?
“Yes, there is a significant health benefit to having straighter teeth- they are easier to clean and look after from a patient’s perspective, there is a lower risk of dental disease such as tooth decay and gum disease.”
How long does the treatment take?
“Cosmetic brace treatments with Six Month Smiles usually take between 4 to 9 months with an average treatment time of 6 months. To put that into context, if you had a Six Month Smile brace fitted today by the time of your next dental check up your treatment would probably be complete with nice straight teeth!”
Thanks Dr Shrikesh Kotecha for answering the questions. If you have any questions we would love to hear from you please connect with us on facebook or twitter.
