 Ceramic
These braces fit on the outside of the teeth, but are made of a tooth coloured ceramic. They are not ‘invisible’ but are much less visible than a metal appliance
They are popular choice with adult patients due to the improved appearance and relative cost
Many of our young adolescent patients are also now choosing this sort of brace
Better looking than ‘train-tracks’ and ideal for those willing to show that they are having their teeth straightened

This is a technique that involves a series of clear 'aligners' to gently move the teeth into their new position
There can be anything from five to twenty-five aligners. These are worn full time, but as they are clear, the appliances are virtually invisible. Invisalign™ is a private treatment option
Ideal for mild to moderate problems especially where a virtually invisible but removable brace is required
Dr Cottam has extensive experience of Invisalign having treated two of her own daughters, family, friends and dentist colleagues.
Dr Cottam is a Invisalign Platinum status doctor and has attended both the World and European International symposia.
Dr Cottam has used Invisalign with patients ranging in age from 11 years to 69 years old successfully.
