If you’re looking for a way to realign your teeth discreetly and conveniently, Invisalign may be just what you need. Invisalign is a clear, removable aligner system that uses gentle pressure to move your teeth into place and at Chelsea & Fulham Dentist we are Invisalign Platinum Providers, having treated over 1000 patients with it. The aligners are barely visible and, when you are wearing them, nobody else should realise that you have anything in your mouth at all. You may find that you can’t even see them yourself! Don’t worry though, you won’t have to send out the search party; our dentist Fulham can introduce you to Invisalign to treat your mild to moderate alignment issues.
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a discreet, removable aligner system that is an alternative treatment to fixed braces. It uses gentle pressure to move your teeth into place. Invisalign treatment is customised to fit your individual needs. Our dentist Fulham will create a 3D model of your teeth using iTero technology, and use it to create a series of clear aligners. Each aligner is worn for a certain period of time, and then you’ll switch to the next one. As you wear each aligner, your teeth will gradually move into place. The iTero scan can also be used to generate a video of what your teeth will look like after treatment has been completed, so you will have a clear idea of how wonderful your smile is going to be.
How does Invisalign work?
Invisalign works by applying gentle pressure to your teeth. This pressure causes your teeth to move slowly and gradually into the desired position. The aligners are made of a clear, flexible material that’s comfortable to wear. They’re also removable, so you can take them out to eat, brush your teeth, and floss. Treatment can take between 6 to 18 months on average, which may be speedier than other treatment options.
What are the benefits of Invisalign?
There are many benefits to choosing Invisalign. The biggest has got to be the fact that Invisalign is virtually invisible, so you can wear the aligners and no one should know that you’re having treatment. Another benefit is the fact that you can take out your aligners to eat, brush your teeth, and floss. This makes it easier to maintain your oral hygiene during treatment. Furthermore, the clear aligners are made of a soft, flexible material that’s comfortable to wear and shouldn’t cause irritation to your lips or the inside of your mouth. This is also a tried and tested treatment that has made many patients happy. Our Platinum Provider accreditation from Invisalign is just one of the ways we have proven our experience and expertise in this field. What’s more, we are dental phobia certified, so if you feel nervous about treatment, we completely understand and we will be able to gently guide you through the process and take everything at your own speed. Our staff have complete empathy and understanding of what you are going through, to ensure that your experience is a positive one with us.
