If you are looking for reasons to invest in getting your teeth realigned that go beyond the cosmetic benefits, then you will be glad to know that teeth that are well aligned tend to last longer than wonky teeth. This is because they are easier to keep clean and work better as a team in bearing the strain of the force that chewing creates.
Now that you know there are multiple oral health benefits to investing in straightening, all you have to do is decide which method to go for. How about Invisalign in Harley Street?
Never heard of Invisalign? Don’t worry, it’s not because it’s not well known as a treatment. In fact, more than 6 million people have had their teeth realigned with Invisalign since these clear aligners first came onto the market over 20 years ago. It’s because these aligners are so good at being unnoticeable that you are unlikely to ever see anyone wearing them.
Invisalign in Harley Street go over the teeth like a mouth guard. But that’s where the similarity ends. Invisalign are made of clear, rigid plastic that is so thin its’s just like an extra layer of enamel. Inside each aligner are pressure points that press on the teeth. After about 72 hours of sustained pressure, the jawbone reacts by rebuilding the bone around the tooth to relieve that pressure.
You are given a series of aligners and wear each one in turn until the pressure wears off. This takes around 7-10 days for each set.
What about eating?
One of the reasons why more than 6 million people have chosen Invisalign is that you can take the aligners out to eat and drink. This means you still retain your freedom of choice when it comes to eating, and that you don’t have to spend ages picking food out from between brackets and wires after every meal.
You must wear your aligners for at least 20 hours a day to get your treatment done on time, but this is easy when you know they can’t be seen anyway.
