A writer has spoken of her positive experience with invisible braces after undergoing a six-week treatment.

Connie Allfrey, 29, told the London Evening Standard she was advised to have cosmetic dentistry after being told that one of her incisors was growing out of line.

She went for Invisalign braces after her dental assistant told her they are “nice and discreet”, unlike fitted metal versions.

After wearing them for everything except eating, Ms Allfrey said she has got an almost perfect smile again.

“Six weeks later my tooth is back in line and I’m only wearing the brace at night,” she explained.

However, the writer admitted that she had an embarrassing incident at work after accidentally leaving her invisible braces on her desk, resulting in her setting off the burglar alarm as she went back to retrieve them after-hours.

Myleene Klass is one of a growing number of older brace-wearers, something she recently revealed live on This Morning.
