Crooked, gapped, crowded and misaligned teeth can be a big drain on self-esteem, yet many adults do not wish to wear metal braces in order to straighten their teeth. Teeth straightening problems can be more than embarrassing though. They can also cause discomfort when chewing, popping noises when opening the mouth, and general jaw pain because of the incorrect position of the bite.
Luckily, modern dentistry has evolved over the years and patients no longer have to choose between living with their dental problems or spending years wearing metal brackets and wires. Invisalign is an innovative teeth straightening treatment that helps to straighten teeth discreetly, without the hassle of traditional metal braces. At Harley Street Dental Clinic, we can speed up the straightening process and deliver reliable results with Invisalign in Harley Street in almost half the time required for other dental practices.
What is Invisalign and how does it work?
Invisalign consists of transparent, metal, custom-made aligners that are created with the help of 3D technology. The aligners are virtually invisible and fit snugly over your teeth. Each aligner shifts your teeth slightly, moving them horizontally and vertically and even rotating them when needed.
Your aligners are created to exercise the right amount of pressure in the right place in a specific time frame. When you change to the next set of aligners (this occurs every 7-10 days), your teeth will gradually move, following a customised treatment plan, implemented by your dentist at the beginning of your treatment.
Treatment time is different for each patient; however, patients can have their teeth straightened with Invisalign in Harley Street in as little as six months.
Benefits of Invisalign aligners
Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible, comfortable to wear and can be removed for eating and cleaning your teeth. Moreover, they do not require constant adjustment like metal braces. Invisalign aligners help you stay on top of your oral hygiene and allow you to eat your favourite foods without any concern. Finally, with Invisalign in Harley Street, you can watch your straightening process in real time.
