If you have misaligned teeth, there can be multiple reasons that you may have been thinking about getting treatment to improve the appearance of them. Having misaligned teeth can be a source of low self-esteem, if you are concerned about the aesthetics of your smile. However, it can also have health implications too. With misaligned teeth it can be difficult to clean your teeth as effectively and they may be causing you chewing or speech issues. By seeking the support of an experienced dentist, you could forget all your troubles and get happy!
Invisalign
Invisalign London is an alternative to traditional braces that can help you achieve a beautiful smile. It’s a popular choice for people of all ages, and it’s easy to see why. Invisalign is comfortable, convenient, and effective. It is typically used to treat mild to moderate alignment issues and the treatment can take an average of 6 to 18 months with most dentists. However, you may be able to find highly experienced dentists who have used the system for in excess of 15 years and are able to get results in as little as 4 to 6 months. Some dentists offer this service online, so you only need to see them a handful of times, because they are able to remotely monitor your progress on a weekly basis. By doing so, they will only ask you in for a check-up when you really need it, rather than inviting you in every 6 weeks regardless. This approach should save you both time and money.
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign consists of a series of clear, removable aligners that are worn over your teeth. Each aligner is slightly different from the one before it, which gradually moves your teeth incrementally into the desired position. It is a custom-made treatment, so the aligners are created specifically for your teeth.
Benefits of choosing this treatment
There are many benefits to choosing these invisible aligners over traditional braces. One of the great things about Invisalign is that the aligners are very comfortable. The clear aligners are made of a soft, flexible material that shouldn’t irritate your gums or cheeks. Another benefit of them is that it is a convenient treatment. You can remove your aligners to eat, drink, and brush your teeth. This means you can still enjoy all of your favourite foods and activities without having to worry about having to wear your aligners. When you are wearing your aligners,they are more discreet. The clear aligners are virtually invisible, so you can wear them with confidence.
How does Invisalign work?
Invisalign works by applying gentle pressure to your teeth. This pressure gradually moves your teeth into the desired position. The aligners are worn for two weeks at a time targeting specific teeth, and then you’ll switch to a new set of aligners. This process continues until your teeth are in the desired position.
The process
If you are interested in Invisalign, then you will need to have an initial consultation. Your dentist will discuss your goals and examine your mouth, possibly taking X-rays. This will help them to determine if the treatment is right for you and to create a plan. If you choose to proceed with Invisalign, then your dentist will use a digital scanner that utilises iTero technology to create a digital impression of your teeth. This information will be used to create your customised aligners and to generate an animation of what your teeth will look like by the end of your treatment, before you’ve even started wearing your aligners. During the process, you will wear each aligner for two weeks before switching to the next one. Your dentist will monitor your progress and make adjustments to your treatment plan as needed. Once your treatment is complete, you may need to wear a retainer to keep your teeth in place.
So, if you want great results in a short amount of time to get your super smile, then now is the time to find out more about Invisalign.
