Invisalign
An excellent way to improve the appearance of your teeth is by undergoing teeth straightening. Teeth straightening can be carried out in different ways but one of the most popular methods of teeth straightening is Invisalign. Invisalign is a clear aligner system. It is very different from traditional orthodontic braces. It is suitable for patients of all ages and helps to straighten your teeth without drawing further attention to your mouth. It uses clear thermoplastic aligners that apply pressure to the teeth to create a neater formation. The aligners themselves are digitally designed and 3-D printed for accuracy and precision creating excellent aesthetic results.
With Invisalign, you can make your teeth straighter within an average time period of 6 to 12 months. This will help improve the appearance of your smile but also it will improve your dental health. This is because a neatly aligned smile is easier to look after. Your brush can reach around your teeth and floss can fit between your teeth to remove any food particles or bacteria from your mouth, reducing levels of plaque and tartar and reducing or eliminating the chance of developing gum disease or tooth decay.
To begin with, you will need to undergo a dental health examination to make sure that your teeth are clean and healthy and that your gums are strong and free of disease. If you have signs of tooth decay or gum disease then it is important that these are resolved before undergoing teeth straightening. Once you are ready, our dentist in Dorking will carry out a 3-dimensional scan of your mouth that will be used to create a sequence of aligners that will help correct the misalignment issues of your teeth. The number of aligners that you need differs from patient to patient. This depends on the degree of misalignment that you begin with. Some patients only require minor movement of the teeth to improve the appearance of their smile and the treatment can be completed within six months whilst others may have more complicated orthodontic issues and the treatment may require 12 to 18 months.
