We often think that when we want something, it should be hard work to get it. This is one way to approach life but there are easier options. We can also look for solutions that make the journey easier and more enjoyable. It almost seems counterintuitive to say, choose the easier option and get the same results but, with invisible braces in Harley Street, that’s just what happens. This is why it’s one of the solutions we offer for tooth realignment treatments at Harley Street Dental Clinic.
Do invisible braces really offer the same results?
When it comes to cosmetic orthodontic work, invisible braces in Harley Street offer the same level of results as other, fixed options. Complex cases might require a fixed solution but, for mild to moderate cases, invisible aligners can do the job with less effort.
They are all effectively moving the teeth in the same way. This is by applying pressure to stimulate the body to change the environment and allow the tooth to move. Invisible braces do this with an aligner that is contoured on the inside to apply gentle force to each tooth that needs to move.
Why are they easier?
‘Invisible braces’ is a term that’s often used to described clear aligners. These are designed to sit over the teeth and they can be removed by the patient at any time throughout the treatment. This means that there is no fitting appointment required which saves time and any discomfort associated with this appointment.
The regular check-ups that are required with any teeth straightening treatment are still a part of this option. However, they tend to be shorter than appointments for fixed equipment solutions because there is no adjustment or tightening required. The dentist will monitor your progress and may offer advice on wearing one or more aligners for longer.
The final appointment with invisible braces simply requires the dentist to check the results and offer guidance on aftercare and retainers. There is no equipment to take off and the teeth are not going to be subject to any damage from fixed equipment. There is a bright smile to show off straight away.
