For many, smiling is just a natural reaction to feeling happy, but for some, smiling is an embarrassment. Well, that can all change if you just pick up the phone and contact us at Chelsea & Fulham Dentist for your Invisalign in Chelsea treatment.
Helping nature correct an error
Many people are born with malocclusion, which is briefly described as having a misaligned dental bite. When your teeth don’t meet where they are supposed to, you end up with an overbite, underbite or crossbite and are unable to chew your food properly.
Some people seem to have too many teeth in their mouths, which is called overcrowding. Many have large spaces between their teeth or open bites where the teeth in the front do not meet even though the rear teeth are together. All of these conditions can cause a variety of additional problems like jaw aches or clicking. Bacteria can form in pockets created between your teeth, leading to bad breath and tooth decay. You can also suffer from gastric problems because you are unable to chew your food into sizes that your stomach can handle. Just because you have one of these conditions does not mean that we cannot help nature correct her errors.
Realigning achieves positive, practical and cosmetic results
For many years, a metal brace was the only effective way of correcting these conditions. The latest braces and Invisalign in Chelsea are the new generation of appliances used to produce both practical and cosmetic results. In the first instance, we want to ensure that your teeth and gums remain healthy and that they allow you to speak and chew properly without causing you discomfort. In addition, being able to smile broadly without feeling self-conscious will do wonders for your confidence.
Invisalign, more than just a dental appliance
Today, the dental industry relies heavily on dental science and technology to produce equipment that can meet the needs of today’s patients. Education and communication have produced a generation that is more aware of the need to be physically healthy. Dental care is a major part of overall health because our mouths are how we feed ourselves, and their health can affect the health of the body.
Invisalign in Chelsea is not just a single dental appliance because a large amount of hardware, software and modern dental equipment has been developed in conjunction with it. Braces work by using blocks attached to the front of your teeth with wires and bands attached to apply gradual pressure to move your teeth. Invisalign does not use wires and bands but instead can be mistaken for a gum shield because it can fit over your teeth and resembles a clear gum shield. That is where the similarity ends because you will receive a series of these gum shields, referred to as trays. You will need to wear each one for three to four weeks, in a specific order because each one has its own orientation. They are computer-designed to gradually move your teeth into the correct positions, allowing them to meet accurately.
The result will bring a smile to your face
The length of the treatment depends on the condition being treated, but on average it can take around 18 months. During this time, you must wear the trays for at least 22 hours a day, but that time will be worth your confident smile at the end.
