Orders for adult dental braces have gone chew the roof as Brits try to get the perfect smile.
And the boom has been fuelled by the arrival of new tooth-coloured ceramic braces, which have replaced ugly “train-track” contraptions.
One practice in Sale, Gtr Manchester, saw 935 adults fitted with braces between 2005 and 2009.
Only 165 had them in the previous four years.
Dr Mohit Khurana, a consultant orthodontist at Liverpool’s Alder Hey Children’s NHS Foundation Trust, said: “It’s clear more adults are aware of the powerful influence that straight teeth and a confident smile can have. As a result we’ve seen a sharp increase in those seeking consultations.”
