One of the most common dental issues amongst adults in the UK is that of misaligned or crooked teeth. This may seem like a surprising fact, considering the advances in treatment due to modern dental technology and techniques have led to treatment being easier to access than ever before.

For those living with misaligned teeth, the dental issues they face can become difficult for them to manage and this can have a lasting impact on their lives. If teeth are aligned correctly the benefits are easy to measure, as having aligned teeth helps to promote and enhance good oral health, as well as making other forms of damage less likely to occur.

We understand that many potential patients for tooth alignment treatment may have refused to engage with treatment in the past due to the look of the wire and metal braces, however, this has changed. We at Clapham South Dental Centre want to help promote modern tooth alignment treatment by telling you about invisible braces Clapham.

A new way of thinking about alignment treatment

The advances being made in the field of dental and orthodontic treatment have led to a new way of thinking about the devices used. It was recognised that there was a need to create tools that would lead patients to engage with treatment, as then they would have the fears and inhibitions they held in the past, being laid to rest. This led to the creation of invisible braces, which cannot be seen by others when in place. These can either be fixed or removable; lingual braces are fitted to the backs of teeth to make them discreet whereas Invisalign aligners are removable and of clear plastic.

By offering these invisible braces Clapham we hope that we can play our small part in the fight to improve the oral health and hygiene of the wider area.

No need to live with the issues caused by misaligned teeth

It is widely understood that those who exist with misaligned teeth live with various dental issues, some of which can have a dramatically negative effect on their teeth and oral hygiene. Having the teeth aligned correctly can help to ease or eliminate these issues, which not only leads to improvements in oral health, but can also have a positive effect on the general health of the body.

There is a heightened risk of tooth decay and gum disease in those living with misaligned teeth, this is due to the fact that they can be difficult to keep clean with brushing and flossing. This can lead to the need for dental treatments such as fillings, which patients may find unpleasant, being employed to avoid future damage.

Many who live with misaligned teeth also report a feeling of weakness in the bite, making chewing and eating food feel like a difficult act. This can lead to food choices being limited, as some may feel the need to avoid harder foods.

Having the teeth aligned correctly can address these and other common dental issues, resulting in patients gaining a higher standard of oral health and enjoying a better quality of life.
