Is it time to enhance smile with Invisalign? These days, people often lament about their missed opportunity of straightening their teeth as a child. Does it stir an identical feeling in your mind? or were you on braces as a teenager but now have crooked teeth in your adulthood?
Maybe you have never thought about having your teeth straightened. But given the opportunity you would certainly love never ever to be embarrassed or self conscious about smiling. Whatever your reason could be, if you are searching for an orthodontic treatment that is convenient for adults then clear Invisalign braces are your ideal option.
The treatment is meant to help you achieve a beautiful, balanced and uniform smile. This procedure – unlike the conventional ones – offers you with greater independence and flexibility as far as your normal lifestyle is concerned.
What are the benefits of having a straighter smile with Invisalign
Lack of aesthetics in crooked teeth is obviously the most reason to consider orthodontic dentistry and Invisalign. In addition to that there exist lots of other reasons to get the teeth straightened. Dental malocclusion, crooked teeth or poor bite can lead to severe conditions including the following –
- Bad breath or halitosis
- Excessive wear and damage of the teeth
- TMJ or jaw joint problem
- Gingivitis
- Periodontal disease
You must be aware about social and psychological issues that result from how people generally perceive a tooth loss or a crooked smile.
The reason why a large number of adults select clear aligners
Invisalign technology was introduced hardly a couple of decades back. Before this cutting-edge technology made its appearance, the only option that was available to straighten crooked teeth was with metal wires and brackets.
Thus adults practically had zero option for straightening their teeth. They could not afford undergoing the conventional procedure because of embarrassment. They simply used to stay away from orthodontic treatments and procedures.
The situation changed and improved as Invisalign made its appearance. Not only patients but dentists too started thinking differently, to some extent or the other, about adult orthodontic treatments.
Unlike conventional teeth straightening procedures that relied on metal wires and brackets, Invisalign uses clear plastic aligners that are more comfortable.
Offer a near invisible smile that is also free from metals
The greatest benefit that Invisalign offers in contrast to that of conventional metal braces is it straightens the teeth discreetly. Everyone does not need to know that you are undergoing teeth straightening treatment. Invisalign does exactly that and people do not get to know about your undergoing treatment.
The crystal clear aligners are really difficult to identify inside the mouth. Moreover the custom made aligners fit snugly on the teeth. Because of these reasons these aligner trays remain virtually invisible inside the mouth.
Clear aligners offer greater comfort
Invisalign braces also offer greater comfort to patients. There is no metal in the mouth when you are on Invisalign braces. There is no irritation or feeling of soreness that is otherwise caused by metal wires and brackets.
In fact many patients even say that they forget that they are on aligners.
Easy, simple and convenient orthodontic procedure
Invisalign is an easy, simple and convenient treatment procedure. Thus it easily attracts the attention of adults who have a hectic schedule every day. The clear aligners are easily removable while conventional braces are not. There is no dietary restriction for Invisalign patients unlike those who are on conventional metal braces.
An Invisalign patient just has to take out the aligner trays before eating or drinking anything. Once the meal is over, just wear the aligners back in place.
Who is a suitable candidate for Invisalign?
Chatfield Dental Practice is a tried and tested place for Invisalign teeth straightening in London. It possesses a terrific track record in handling this type of cases.
Experienced dentists associated with the practice are of the opinion that before undergoing orthodontic teeth straightening with Invisalign it is important that you have a consultation with a trained Invisalign expert.
The dental practitioner will diagnose you properly to decide whether you are fit for the procedure. Usually, patients who suffer from the following problem undergo this cutting-edge teeth straightening procedure –
- Crooked teeth
- Crowded teeth
- Teeth that have rotated
- Overbites & Underbites
- Large gaps and spacing problems between the teeth
Once you have been considered to be an ideal patient for the procedure, your dentist prepares a unique treatment plan for you. This plan is completely based on your unique needs and expectations.
The dental team in charge with your treatment follows this plan. All the aligners customised for your teeth are prepared in the Invisalign lab with active cooperation of the Invisalign dentist and dental team.
Your responsibility is to wear each set of aligners for about 20 to 22 hours a day. This facilitates gradual movement of the teeth from their initial position to expected position. You wear each set of aligners for about 2 weeks. Then you switch over to the nest set of the appliances in your given series.
Keep repeating the procedure till you reach the last set of aligners. Then your treatment gets over. However in the meantime you have to visit your dentist in every 8 to 10 weeks. This is required to ensure your treatment is going along the right path according to the treatment plan prepared by your dentist.
