With so many people yearning for straighter teeth, why aren’t more of them investing in braces? This really isn’t a difficult question to answer. Most adults do not want to wear traditional braces due to aesthetic or other considerations. Metal braces draw attention to the mouth, they look bulky and unattractive and are difficult to clean.
Luckily, modern dentistry has evolved over the years and now you can achieve straighter teeth discreetly with Invisalign in Harley Street. Invisalign aligners are barely noticeable since they are made of high-quality, transparent plastic. At Harley Street Dental Clinic, we are happy to treat patients with Invisalign as long as they are eligible for this treatment.
How does Invisalign work?
Invisalign aligners are customised to fit your teeth. Each and every Invisalign aligner is uniquely design to fit to your mouth and reposition your teeth little by little over time, without any discomfort. Every time you switch to a new aligner (every 7—10 days), your teeth are gently moved to the next step towards your prearranged ending position, leaving you with a beautiful and functional smile.
Treatment time varies from patient to patient and depends upon their individual condition and the initial state of their teeth. Most Invisalign treatments for adults take about a year from start to finish. Once your dentist has examined your teeth and determined that you are a good candidate for Invisalign, they will take precise digital impressions of your teeth and use these to create your bespoke aligners. For best results, Invisalign aligners should be worn for 20—22 hours every day.
Can everyone have Invisalign?
There are many factors to consider before deciding that Invisalign in Harley Street is the right treatment for you. The first is how crooked your teeth are. Invisalign can correct crowded or gapped teeth, and even overbites, underbites, and crossbites. However, depending on the severity of your dental problems, it may not as effective as metal braces. Another factor is age. As human teeth continue to grow during early teenage years, children and young teenagers may not be eligible for Invisalign in Harley Street.
