Teeth alignment is an important orthodontic procedure that dentists in London and in many other parts of the world engage in on a day to day basis. There are various techniques or ways to go about doing this procedure. The first option is to use conventional metallic braces. This type of braces are quite common and have been used by many people over the years to gradually straighten up uneven teeth. The other option is to opt for the more modern invisible braces London that are commonly referred to as Invisalign
Invisalign invisible braces are basically made up of clear plastic molds or aligners that take the place of the conventional metallic braces. This teeth alignment solution is perfect for people who want to reposition their crooked teeth in a much easier and convenient way. Invisalign obviously offers certain benefits over the traditional braces that most people are used to. Getting to know the inner working of this orthodontic procedure is very crucial and paramount in order to attain a perfect set of teeth.
Working of Invisalign
The first step of getting Invisalign invisible braces is to have a computerized three dimensional imaging of your dental and jaw structure taken by a certified professional. This imaging is used to come up with custom plastic molds or aligners that will fit perfectly into your teeth. The shape and size of aligners will be just perfect for moving your teeth into their correct positions. Invisalign treatment involves a patient getting a series of invisible braces over a specific duration of time. 18 to 30 aligner trays are needed for a typical or normal treatment of crooked teeth. Each set of invisible braces or clear aligners is worn for about 2 weeks and thereafter removed and replaced by the consecutive set of invisible braces or aligners. This process is undertaken gradually until all teeth are back into their correct positions.
The most significant benefit of opting for invisible braces London is that they are very discreet and unnoticeable in most cases. The aligners used are clear and transparent meaning the whole world will not have to know what is going on in your mouth. When compared to traditional metallic braces, Invisalign invisible braces allow you to correct your crooked teeth in a very comfortable and convenient way. Both children and adults can benefit from this orthodontic procedure.
There is also the benefit of increased oral hygiene that is brought about by the ease in brushing, flossing and cleaning your teeth.
