Not everyone is born with perfectly straight teeth. Crooked, crowded and gapped teeth can not only affect your appearance, they can also compromise your oral health. For this reason, many people consider teeth straightening, however, they start to hesitate when they think of the discomfort and embarrassment metal braces can cause them.
But what if we told you that a teeth straightening treatment can be comfortable and aesthetically pleasing? Invisalign is a virtually invisible solution for crooked and misaligned teeth, so that you can smile with confidence during and after your treatment. At One Smile Oral Care in West Malling, Invisalign is our treatment of choice for image-conscious adult patients with busy lifestyles who would not otherwise wear braces.
A clear alternative to metal braces
Invisalign is an innovative teeth straightening alternative to metal braces. The treatment consists of a series of removable, custom-made, transparent, plastic aligners that help move your teeth into the correct position over a specific period of time. Invisalign aligners are made with the aid of 3D technology to enable your dentist to monitor your progress throughout the treatment.
You will be given a series or aligners to change every two weeks and your teeth will move slowly towards the smile you have always wanted. Treatment with Invisalign can last up to 18 months; however, most patients have their teeth straightened within a year or so.
Benefits of Invisalign
There are many advantages to choosing Invisalign to straighten your teeth. Invisalign gently straightens your teeth, so there is hardly any pain involved. Invisalign will also be able to give you more ability to take care of your teeth than metal braces, as it allows you to floss and brush your teeth normally by simply removing the aligner. Finally, you will also be able to eat your favourite foods without dietary restrictions.
