It’s common for people to put up with their wonky teeth for years on end because they don’t like the idea of wearing traditional metal braces. Let’s face it, not many people want to sport a mouthful of metal for months or years. Thank goodness then that we have such things as clear braces in Harley Street. Clear braces are the modern equivalent of traditional metal braces. When they’re in your mouth, nobody will be able to see that you are wearing them. This means you will not have to feel self-conscious whilst getting your teeth straightened. There’s no reason to hold back with teeth straightening any more.
Invisalign aligners
Here at Harley Street Dental Clinic, we provide our patients with clear braces in Harley Street, such as Invisalign. Invisalign is an invisible, removable, and fast-acting teeth straightening system. Gone are the days of fixed metal brackets that dig into your cheeks and tongue. Invisalign braces are custom-moulded to fit your teeth, no chunky brackets are required. Invisalign clear braces in Harley Street are made of a thin, clear, plastic. These braces, usually called aligners, look similar to the retainers people wear after having their teeth straightened with traditional metal braces. They are tailor-made according to 3D image scans taken of your mouth, so they fit perfectly. Well, almost perfectly. To move your teeth, the aligners must apply pressure in strategically placed points. When putting the aligners in for the first time you’ll notice that they feel tight. Some teeth may feel more pressure than others. Over the course of 1-2 weeks, the pressure will move your teeth and the feeling of tightness will go. At this point, it’s time to move on to the next set of aligners in the series. You’ll need a number of aligners to get your teeth straight, step by step.
