Invisalign, the invisible solution to crooked teeth in South East London

05 / 02 / 2012

Invisalign is the newest treatment on the market that claims to be an alternative to traditional braces. The treatment involves using successive sets of aligners to gently move your teeth into a pre-determined alignment. It is a very discrete method of orthodontics, many people cannot even tell you are wearing your aligners most of the time. Invisalign is perfect for anyone who is worried about their crooked or misaligned teeth but who does not want traditional brackets and wires across their teeth for years.

Your local clinic in South East London will first take X-rays and 3D photographs in order to determine the current alignment of your teeth, and how they should look following treatment. The best thing about Invisalign is that the result is exactly pre-determined by you and your dentist together.

Once your aligners have been produced, you will be required to change them every two weeks, this allows for the slight changes in alignment that will be occurring during treatment. It is this attention to detail that is responsible for the outstanding results of Invisalign treatment.

Your aligners must be removed and cleaned twice a day and should also be removed when you wish to eat. You will be required to attend regular check-ups with the dentist in charge of your treatment just in order to keep on top of your progress and to address any problems you may be having.
