For mild to moderate alignment issues, there is a treatment that we excel in providing at Chelsea & Fulham Dentist. Invisalign Chelsea is an internationally recognised treatment and we have been accredited as Platinum Elite Providers. With our family run practice, you could be forgiven for thinking that we are just offering regular care with general dentistry at the heart of what we do. However, while we certainly provide the basics that everyone needs, we also ensure that we strive to deliver the latest techniques and treatments as well. Invisalign Chelsea is just one of the ways that we are achieving this aim. Invisalign Chelsea is an alternative treatment to fixed metal braces. It comprises plastic aligners that are worn over the teeth and are virtually invisible when they are being worn.
What will aligners do to my teeth?
When you wear your aligners, they will apply pressure to them to carefully move them into the targeted places. The aligners are made bespoke for you and we use iTero technology to get the measurements of your mouth to have the aligners made for you in the Invisalign laboratory. This digital scan can then also be used to create a video to show you what your teeth will look like by the end of your treatment, before you have even got started. It should be really encouraging to see just how great your teeth will look, before you have begun your treatment. We will ask you to change your aligners every couple of weeks, and we will give you the aligners you will need for 6 weeks. After this time, you will then need to come and see us for a check-up and to receive the next lot.
Dental phobia certified
If the thought of coming to a dental practice fills you with dread, then you needn’t fear (easy for us to say, we know). However, we truly understand and are dental phobia certified, which means that we have undertaken additional training to really understand how we can help patients who struggle with visiting the dentist. We know that the fear is real and we will do all that we can to make your experience as relaxing as we possibly can. We will encourage you to come and see us before you start your treatment, so that we can explain exactly what will happen and when it comes to having the treatment, you can take it all at your own pace. We will never do anything that you aren’t prepared for. We have music and movies available in our treatment rooms to make the experience as relaxing as possible, and we practice gentle dentistry, including equipment, such as The Wand to numb areas being treated completely. With Invisalign, the digital scanner removes the need for uncomfortable and messy impressions.
Convenience
The great thing about Invisalign is that it allows you to continue eating normally and cleaning your teeth as the aligners are removable for 2 hours. You should find that the impact upon your life is, therefore, minimised and that the aligners are as comfortable as possible being made to fit your mouth precisely. To find out more about this, book in for an Invisalign assessment and we will be able to advise you on your treatment options to get your smile looking stunning!
