Straighten your teeth with Invisalign for a healthy and beautiful smile
Studies show that approximately 40% of adults in the UK are unhappy with the appearance of their smiles. Thanks to advances in dental technology, there is now a range of cosmetic dental treatments available to improve the appearance of smiles, and your dentist can identify the aesthetic problems with your teeth and advise you on which is the right procedure. An excellent way of improving the appearance of your smile is by straightening your teeth. A crooked or misaligned smile can affect your self-confidence and self-esteem as well as the way others perceive you. If you are unhappy with the alignment of your teeth, then you should speak to your dentist and find out about the different types of braces that may be suitable for you.
The uses of Invisalign
Invisalign London is a modern method of straightening teeth. Invisalign London has gained popularity quickly and successfully treated more than 14 million smiles in just over two decades. Invisalign is different from traditional orthodontic treatment as it uses removable clear thermoplastic aligners to straighten teeth instead of metal brackets and wires that must be fixed to the teeth. Invisalign can be used to correct a range of orthodontic issues, including crooked teeth, misaligned teeth, overlapping teeth, overcrowded teeth, and protruding teeth and they can also be used to help correct bite disorders. Speak to your dentist and find out if your orthodontic needs can be corrected with Invisalign.
Shorter treatment time
Straightening your teeth is quick and simple with Invisalign. Where traditional orthodontic treatment can take between one and three years, you can straighten your teeth with Invisalign in as little as six months; this is because Invisalign is used for mild or moderate misalignment issues. However, if you have more complex needs, then the treatment can take between 12 and 18 months, which is still an excellent option for those who have suffered in silence for many years because they have avoided traditional braces.
Convenient aligners
Invisalign aligners can be removed from the mouth and replaced as necessary, which means that they will not affect your daily activities. You can eat and drink what you like as there are no dietary restrictions, although you may wish to opt for softer foods when you change your aligners as your mouth can feel a little sore for the first couple of days. Once you become accustomed to your aligners, you can continue to consume your favourite meals. It is also easy to maintain a good dental hygiene routine with Invisalign because the aligners can be taken out of your mouth before you clean your teeth.
Maintaining good dental hygiene
Once you have straightened your teeth with Invisalign, it will be even easier to maintain a good dental hygiene routine; this is because crooked and misaligned teeth are difficult to brush or floss. Bacteria and food particles can linger in those hard-to-reach areas causing tooth decay and gum disease. When your teeth are neatly aligned, there will be fewer hard-to-reach areas for bacteria and food particles to linger; therefore, you will be less likely to develop dental health complications. By straightening your teeth with Invisalign, you can improve your dental health significantly and promote better well-being.
