When people imagine having braces, they may think of visible metal wires and brackets. However, the world of dentistry is evolving and there are now a number of different invisible braces Clapham available, so there may not need to be anything visible in your mouth, while you get your teeth realigned. At Clapham South Dental Centre, we offer invisible braces Clapham that are suitable for both children and adults alike. An example of one such treatment is Invisalign, which has a special range for children called ‘Invisalign Teen’. 
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a treatment consisting of plastic aligners that are worn over the teeth. They apply pressure to the teeth to push them into the correct position. This process can take between 6 to 18 months, on average. The aligners are virtually invisible, when they are being worn, because the plastic is transparent, so only your smile should be seen by others. The aligners need to be changed every couple of weeks, and you will need to come for check-ups with us every 6 weeks.
Bespoke treatment
The great thing about Invisalign, aside from it being very discreet, is the fact that the aligners should be very comfortable for patients to wear. This is because they are made bespoke for you. We use a digital scan to get the measurements of your mouth, rather than taking messy impressions. With this scan, we then send the details to Invisalign’s laboratories, where they will manufacture your aligners just for you. From this, we can also show you a video of what your teeth will look like by the end of the treatment, so that you can visualise just how great your teeth are going to look by then.
Healthy and happy
Realigning your smile is really important, because it can improve your self-esteem, knowing that your beam looks wonderful. You don’t want to look in the mirror and feel fed up with what you see, nor should you be avoiding having photos taken of you smiling. By realigning your smile, you should hopefully feel confident enough to smile freely and let your face reflect your happiness. Aside from this, you should also have better oral health. By having the teeth in the correct position, this should make them easier to clean and you should also be able to chew food better, reducing any jaw pain you may have been experiencing. You could even find that your speech improves, if your alignment issues had been making this difficult for you.
Opening hours
At Clapham South Dental Centre, we are open 7 days a week, so you should be able to find a time to come and see us that suits you. We are open from 8am Monday to Friday, and 9am on the weekend. We have late evening appointments until 8pm, Monday to Thursday, so there isn’t any excuse not to come and meet our friendly and experienced team. They are ready and waiting to deliver the smile you deserve to have in a discreet and convenient way with invisible braces Clapham.
