Here at One Smile Oral Care, we remain as impressed as ever with how invisible Invisalign clear aligners are, even though we fit them pretty regularly, we can never quite get over how well they live up to their name.
So, if you have been wanting to get your mild to moderately misaligned teeth sorted out, why not come in for a free consultation for this device. It’s been around for about 20 years now and in that time, over 4 million people have been treated with Invisalign. In Kings Hill, of course it’s nowhere near that many, but there are still plenty of people walking round with lovely straight teeth thanks to Invisalign. And there are plenty more whose teeth seem to be getting straighter every week as if by magic. It isn’t magic though, it’s Invisalign.
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a straightening system that uses mouth guard-like aligners that snap on over the teeth rather than the more usual brackets and wires. You get a series of them (how many depends on your particular alignment issues), which you wear, starting at aligner number one and working your way through to the last in the series.
Each aligner has pressure points placed in it, and their size and angle are carefully designed to press your teeth in exactly the right direction that they need to go to line up well with their neighbours. Each aligner takes about 7-10 days to do its work and you will know when it is time to change to the next in the series because the pressure will have worn off.
See-through
The aligners are see-through and only 0.3 millimetres thick, which means that when they are on your teeth, it takes a trained eye, or a really close friend, to spot them.
Take them out
The other big plus is that Invisalign aligners come out when you eat and drink fluids that are not plain water. You put them in your storage box and give your teeth a good clean before putting them back in. These two advantages are what makes Invisalign in Kings Hill so popular.
