Clear braces Clapham are a modern and innovative way of addressing the misalignment issues of your teeth at your discretion. First introduced just over two decades ago, Invisalign is one of the most popular brands of clear braces Clapham and they have helped correct over 12 million smiles across the world. If you would like to correct the aesthetic anomalies which are affecting your teeth then find out about Invisalign, the highly successful clear braces Clapham, which continue to be the most popular choice amongst patients and dentists alike.
In comparison to traditional orthodontic braces, clear braces Clapham are almost invisible in the mouth. You can correct the appearance of your teeth without anyone knowing that you are undergoing dental treatment. Invisalign clear braces are thermoplastic aligners which are individually manufactured to fit your mouth with accuracy and precision for comfort and excellent results. If you would like to find out more about Invisalign clear braces then you need to speak to us at Clapham South Dental Centre. We will begin by carrying out a case assessment. This means you will need to undergo an examination of your teeth and gums to make sure that there are no underlying problems that may be affecting your dental health. If so then these will need to be addressed first before you can use Invisalign.
How to use Invisalign for a neatly aligned smile
Once our dentist is happy that Invisalign is suitable for you, you will undergo a series of photographs, X-rays and a three-dimensional scan of your teeth which will help us put together a digital image of your mouth and show you how Invisalign could correct the issues that are affecting your teeth. If you are happy with the predicted results then the scans can be sent to the Invisalign laboratory where they will create a series of aligners for you, which are designed to help you achieve the desired end result.
Each aligner needs to be worn for at least 2 weeks and should be kept in the mouth for approximately 22 hours of the day. The aligners are only to be taken out at meal times when you can soak them in a cleaning solution. After you have finished eating or drinking you should brush your teeth and floss as usual and place the aligners back into your mouth again. They are highly convenient and they are comfortable to wear. Most patients report that within the first 24 hours they have adjusted to the sensation of wearing the aligners in their mouth.
At the centre we will ask you to visit us after changing every 3 or 4 aligners so we can make sure that the process is going along successfully. You will be able to ask any questions you may have and we will also make sure that your teeth are clean, free of plaque and tartar throughout the process. Once you have worked your way through the aligners you should achieve a neatly aligned smile and we will ask you to use a retainer to help you maintain your new smile. Visit us every 6 months and look after your oral health so that you can enjoy a beautiful healthy smile for life.
