Removable aligners with Invisalign Chelsea
Here at Chelsea & Fulham Dentist, one of our most popular orthodontic treatment options is Invisalign Chelsea. Invisalign Chelsea is a fantastic, modern method of straightening teeth that has helped correct millions of smiles across the world. It is an almost invisible method of straightening your teeth, so you can undergo orthodontic treatment without letting anyone know unless you wish to tell them.
Invisalign involves removable aligners, which means that you can take them out of your mouth and replace them as necessary. They do not affect any aspects of your lifestyle, and you can enjoy everything you used to eat and drink as usual whilst you are undergoing treatment. By removing your aligners before you brush your teeth, you can maintain an efficient dental hygiene routine and prevent any health complications during the process.
Invisalign aligners
Invisalign works using a series of clear aligners; each one is slightly different from the one before in the way that it is shaped and designed to fit your teeth. The aligners will work together in a sequence to slowly move and position your teeth into a neater formation. It is important that these aligners are worn for approximately 22 hours a day, and each aligner works for 2 weeks, after which you will have to move on to the next aligner in the series. During this time, your teeth will move by approximately 0.25 mm, and your current aligner will no longer work; this is when you will know to switch to the next one.
Invisalign is a comfortable treatment option with minimal discomfort. Compliance is a very important factor, and you need to make sure that you monitor how long you wear the aligners and how long they are out of your mouth. The entire process should take between 6 and 12 months on average; however, depending on your dental requirements and the extent of misalignment being treated, this could be shorter or longer.
Here at Chelsea & Fulham Dentist, we will support you throughout the procedure, although you will be fully responsible for changing the aligners at home. Book an appointment with our team or upload a smiling selfie to our website today, and we will let you know whether or not Invisalign is suitable for you. If Invisalign is not suitable for you, we will let you know of the other treatment options that are available here at Chelsea & Fulham Dentist so that we can help you improve the appearance of your teeth and enjoy better dental health for life.
