If you have misaligned teeth, but you haven’t addressed the issue, because you’re worrying about other people seeing you wearing braces, then you need to come and visit us at Clapham South Dental Centre! We have a range of clear braces Clapham and removable aligners that are discreet and efficient when treating mild to moderate alignment issues. There is no need to worry about having missed the boat for treatment as these devices are suitable for adults, as well as teenagers. One of our popular treatments using clear braces Clapham is Invisalign, a removable aligner system that is bespoke for your mouth.

How does Invisalign work?

Invisalign’s aligners are made to measure your mouth with precision, because we have iTero digital scanning technology. We use this to get the dimensions required to have your aligners made in the Invisalign laboratory. Afterwards, we can also show you an animation of what your teeth will look like by the end of your treatment. As you wear your aligners, they will feel as comfortable as possible, being made-to-measure. They will push against the teeth to move them into the correct position. You will need to switch between your aligners every couple of weeks, as well as come and see us for a check-up every 6 weeks. You could find that your results are gained in as little as 6 to 18 months, which should be very good news, if you’ve been living with your misaligned teeth for many years!

Advantages of Invisalign

The great thing about Invisalign, aside from the fact that the aligners are practically invisible, because they are made of transparent plastic, is that you can improve your smile, but you also have the convenience of not wearing the aligners when you are eating or cleaning your teeth. This means that you won’t have to adapt your diet at all, nor will you develop oral hygiene problems because you have been trying to clean around an appliance in your mouth. You should also have time to take the aligners out of your mouth, while you do other things, such as playing sports, as long as you have them in for 22 hours a day.

Another benefit of Invisalign is the fact that by aligning your teeth, you should find it easier to chew food and this could reduce jaw pain, if you had been suffering with this. You could also find it easier to speak clearly. While you have your aligners, you won’t need to worry too much about having emergency appointments and taking time off work or school, because the aligners are very difficult to damage as the plastic is highly durable and resistant to breakages.
