Treatment
Short-Term Braces
Discreet tooth-coloured fixed braces that focus on the teeth you actually see.
Short-term cosmetic braces use tooth-coloured brackets and wires to straighten the front teeth quickly, without the timeline of full orthodontics.
How they differ from full braces
Short-term braces focus on the aesthetic zone — the teeth visible when you smile — rather than repositioning the entire bite.
Suitability
Best for mild to moderate crowding or spacing in adults who want a fast, discreet result.
The process
Fit, then adjustments roughly every 4–6 weeks, then removal and retainers.
Comfort
Brackets are tooth-coloured and low-profile. Mild tenderness after adjustments is normal.
