Orthodontic treatment is a great way of improving the appearance of your teeth and promoting better dental health for the future. It is recommended that teenagers undergo orthodontic treatment so that they can have a happy and confident smile, and their teeth are safe from cavities, tooth decay and gum disease. Straightened teeth are much easier to clean and maintain. This means they are less likely to become infected by decay or disease. If you undergo teeth straightening at an early age you can prevent such issues from developing and you can enjoy good dental health.
Patients with crooked and wonky teeth have a greater risk of developing cavities, tooth decay and gum disease. These can have unpleasant and uncomfortable symptoms, you may require extensive dental treatment, and of course it affects the appearance of your smile as well. If you have crooked and wonky teeth and wish to undergo orthodontic treatment then speak to our dentist and find out about your options. There are many different choices available for teeth straightening. The best type of braces for you depends on how wonky your teeth are to begin with and the type of treatment that you were looking for. Braces come in different varieties. You can find out about fixed braces, discreet braces and you can also find out about removable braces. Removable braces are a popular option amongst the modern generation.
Invisalign in Fulham
First introduced in 1999, here at Chelsea & Fulham Dentist we are pleased to be able to offer you Invisalign Fulham. Invisalign Fulham uses clear thermoplastic, removable aligners to straighten your teeth which means that you can straighten your teeth at your discretion and at your convenience. The aligners are almost invisible in your mouth, therefore no one will notice that you are undergoing teeth straightening, unless you wish to tell them. The aligners can be taken out as and when necessary. This means they do not hinder your daily life in any way, you can eat and drink all your favourite foods, you can brush your teeth as you would before you started orthodontic treatment and you can smile happily and confidently throughout the day, no one will notice that you are having orthodontic treatment. You, yourself, may forget about it sometimes! However with Invisalign Fulham you need to remember to keep the aligners in your mouth for as long as possible. They should be in your mouth for approximately 22 hours a day for optimal results.
They should be removed at meal times, and after you have brushed your teeth and rinsed your mouth, you put the aligners back in your mouth and you forget about them. They continue to exert pressure on your teeth and push your teeth into a neater formation. The process itself can take a little less time, 4 to 6 months if you are simply addressing aesthetic issues of the teeth or it can take 12 to 24 months if you have significantly crooked or wonky teeth. Get in touch with us at Chelsea and Fulham Dentist today. Find out more about Invisalign as well as other types of teeth straightening and let our dentist put together the best treatment plan for you.
