It is becoming ever more important to look well groomed all over for work, including have a smile that is well ordered. However, for some people getting that beautiful straight smile is not possible because they work in jobs where braces will interfere with their professional look. You could well be one of those people. If so, you will be delighted to know about Invisalign in Harley Street.
At Harley Street Dental Clinic, we are finding that more and more people with serious careers want their teeth to look as smart as their hair and clothes, and so they come to us to find out about ways to get their teeth straightened. Many of them choose Invisalign in Harley Street as a way to get their teeth aligned without interfering with their professional image.
Invisibility
Invisalign works differently from the usual bracket and wire method of straightening teeth. It uses a series of clear plastic aligners that fit snugly over the teeth like very well-fitting mouth guards. They are held in place by metal clips cemented onto the back teeth. When Invisalign clear aligners are in place, they are almost impossible to see, thanks to the ultra-thin, 0.3mm, transparent plastic.
Removable aligners
The other great plus for wearers of Invisalign in Harley Street is that these aligners are taken out for eating and cleaning. This is a great bonus for those whose jobs include business lunches and dinners. You pop them out at the beginning of the meal, eat whatever you like, then brush your teeth quickly before popping the aligners back in. No one will be any the wiser about your aligners, unless you wish to tell them.
Who is Invisalign for?
Invisalign works really well on mild to moderate misalignments on the teeth at the front of the mouth. Patients receive a series of aligners and wear each one in the series for 7-10 days. Treatment takes a year on average and is followed up by wearing a retainer for an indefinite period. The retainer makes sure the teeth stay in their correct place, and do not shift around.
