Invisalign Fulham is a highly popular and beneficial treatment option for addressing misaligned teeth. It was introduced in 1997, became available to dentists in 1999 and since then has helped treat millions of smiles across the world. We are proud practitioners of Invisalign here at our practice in Fulham.
A discrete treatment option
It is important to address misalignment issues of the teeth not only to improve the appearance of your smile but also to help you enjoy better oral health. Invisalign Fulham works using thin, transparent, thermoplastic aligners which are worn in the mouth to apply gradual pressure to the teeth helping to create a neatly aligned smile. Traditional orthodontic braces using brackets and wires are fixed to the front surface of the teeth, although very effective at teeth straightening, they are highly visible in the mouth. This means that even though a certain extent of misalignment is prevalent amongst most adults, people are reluctant to undergo traditional orthodontics and are seeking more discreet and convenient treatment options. Invisalign Fulham is very discrete, and as the name suggests almost invisible in the mouth, which is why it is so popular amongst adults who are looking to address their dental needs but do not want to draw extra attention to their mouth.
Ease and convenience
The aligners are easy and convenient to use, and comfortable to wear, ideal for the modern generation of today. Each aligner is designed to be worn in the mouth for approximately 22 hours a day, for two weeks and then you move on to the next aligner in the series. These are removed at mealtimes and can be soaked in a cleaning solution whilst you eat. They do not impose any restrictions on what you can or cannot eat and drink, which is a common complaint amongst patients who undergo traditional orthodontic treatment. It is important that you wear the aligners for the prescribed time periods strictly to ensure a precise and successful outcome.
Maintain good oral hygiene
Invisalign aligners allow you to maintain good oral hygiene throughout the treatment procedure. This is a significant advantage in comparison to digital traditional orthodontic braces which have been found to cause gum disease and other dental issues in some patients because they are unable to clean their teeth effectively. With Invisalign, the aligners are taken out for cleaning your teeth, allowing you to brush and floss as normal, and therefore you can continue to maintain an effective dental hygiene routine whilst undergoing the procedure. It is also important to visit your dentist here at Chelsea and Fulham Dentist every 4 to 6 weeks to make sure that your teeth remain clean and healthy and also to check that the process is coming along successfully.
