Invisalign clear aligners
Invisalign in Chelsea works using clear thermoplastic aligners that are designed using the latest in digital dental technology. First, you will need to undergo a smile assessment; this involves carrying out a three-dimensional scan of your mouth which creates a digital image of your teeth. Invisalign software can be used to manipulate the image and show you how your teeth will look if you choose to straighten your teeth with Invisalign in Chelsea. If you are happy with the predicted results, then our dentist can put together a treatment plan for you. This will involve calculating the movements that are necessary for your teeth to make in order to create a neatly aligned formation. These movements will be translated into a series of aligners; each of which will be designed to apply the right amount of pressure on your teeth in order to help move them towards the desired formation.
The aligners are then manufactured using 3D printing for accuracy and precision. Precision trimming means that they are comfortable to wear and will not cause any cuts or sores in your mouth. The aligner itself is made of a smart track material which means that it is more flexible and can provide greater comfort than other similar teeth straightening systems. It also fits more snugly onto your teeth for better and quicker movements. The number of aligners that you need will vary from patient to patient and it will depend on how crooked your teeth are to begin with. Some patients can straighten their teeth in as little as 3-6 months whilst others need 12-18 months to achieve a neatly aligned smile.
Advantages of Invisalign
There are many advantages to straightening your teeth with Invisalign. To begin with, as the name suggests, Invisalign aligners are almost invisible. You can straighten your teeth at your discretion. If someone is unhappy with the appearance of their own teeth, it is likely that they do not want to draw further attention to their mouth, and Invisalign is the ideal solution in this case. The aligners are removable which means you can eat and drink your favourite foods without any restrictions. Unlike fixed braces, with Invisalign you can maintain excellent dental hygiene through being able to continue brushing and flossing your teeth as usual without the braces getting in the way. The aligners are also easy to clean and look after. Finally, most of the treatment is carried out at home which means less time is necessary sitting in the dentist’s chair.
