Discretion Is Key With Invisalign Teeth Straightening

Discretion Is Key With Invisalign Teeth Straightening

15 / 08 / 2014

We see many patients who want straight teeth without the hassle of wearing visible braces and we are proud to offer discreet solutions, which produce amazing results without impacting on your looks. We understand that many of our patients are apprehensive about how they will be perceived by others if they have orthodontic treatment and Invisalign allows us to treat patients with maximum discretion, so that they feel comfortable and confident.

What is Invisalign and could it work for me?

Invisalign is a discreet orthodontic treatment, which uses a series of removable aligners to straighten the teeth. These specially designed aligners, which sit in place for 2 weeks in a set order, are made from transparent parts, which makes them virtually invisible when you smile or speak. With Invisalign, you can get the treatment you need without any worries about what you will look like, or what others will think or say.

Invisalign is planned in advance and each aligner is made individually; they are all slightly different and they work in an order, which allows room for tooth movement. After 2 weeks, the aligner is swapped. Invisalign aligners are removable and they should be taken out when you eat meals and clean your teeth; it is important to wear them for at least 21 hours each day to ensure the best results.

This system is suitable for many orthodontic patients and it is a versatile option. Aligners are generally suited to patients with minor or moderate issues who want a discreet and flexible alternative to traditional braces. If you have very complex needs, which require intensive treatment, fixed braces may be better. We will be able to tell you if you’re a good candidate for Invisalign when you have a consultation and we have looked at your teeth and your bite.
