Why you should get Invisalign

There are plenty of reasons why you should consider getting Invisalign in Harley Street if you have been looking for a convenient way to straighten your teeth. Many people do not like the idea of having fixed braces, but this treatment offers a completely removable appliance. Depending on your individual circumstances you could have a straight smile in as little as six months.

Once you have had a consultation appointment with one of our dental practitioners at Harley Street Dental Clinic you will be on your way to transforming your smile. At your next appointment you will receive your custom-made aligners. You will have several sets of aligners and you will be required to wear these in the right order to gradually pull or push your teeth into their new positions. Every two weeks you will need to put your next set of aligners in, and this can be done from the comfort of your own home and requires no dental visits.

The aligners themselves are clear and therefore almost invisible and incredibly hard for people to notice. The discreet nature of this treatment means that you can remain confident throughout your treatment and will not have to worry about dealing with the noticeability of a fixed appliance.

You can remove your aligners to eat too, so you do not need to worry about food getting stuck around your appliance. You are expected to brush your teeth before putting your aligners back in after eating or drinking, and your aligners must be removed so you can clean your teeth in the morning and at night too. For at least twenty-two hours of the day you need to make sure you keep your aligners in, otherwise your treatment may not work as efficiently as it should and your overall treatment time could increase.

Predicting your teeth’s path to being straighter

Invisalign in Harley Street uses advanced technology to produce your custom-made aligners. You will have a 3D scan taken of your teeth and it will create a series of images showing how your teeth will move with each set of aligners and then a final image showing what your teeth will look like once they have been straightened. Once the images have been produced your dental professional will send them away so your aligners can be made, and once they have been returned to the dental practice you will have an appointment made to collect them.

Long-lasting smiles

When you have Invisalign in Harley Street you can expect to be left smiling for an incredibly long time. Once you have worn your last set of aligners we will provide you with a retainer to wear. This retainer will be made of plastic and will fit comfortably over your teeth as your aligners did, but after a few weeks of constant wear you should be able to reduce this to night time only. Some people will have to wear their retainer at night for several years and others will only require it for a few months, but it is important to follow your dental professional’s instructions to avoid your teeth returning to their original positions.
