More and more teenagers and adults are having their teeth straightened in recent years. Teeth straightening has become highly popular and no longer something to be embarrassed about. There are many different types of braces that are designed to suit your individual requirements and unique dental needs. If you want to straighten your teeth then you need to speak to your dentist and find out if teeth straightening is suitable for you right now.

For teeth straightening you need healthy teeth and gums. Your teeth need to be free of cavities or tooth decay and your gums need to be free of disease. To maintain healthy teeth and gums, you need to look after your teeth properly at home. This means brushing your teeth at least twice a day, flossing at least once, rinsing your mouth after meal times and maintaining a healthy diet and healthy lifestyle. You also need to visit your dentist at least once every six months and have your teeth professionally cleaned regularly to prevent cavities, tooth decay or gum disease from developing. If your teeth are clean and healthy, then you can begin teeth straightening as soon as possible. If you are affected by cavities, tooth decay or gum disease, then you will need to undergo treatment first before you can straighten your teeth. This is to prevent any adverse effects or future complications.

Bite disorders such as overbite, underbite and crossbite have been successfully treated with Invisalign. You can use Invisalign in young teenagers and it can also be used in senior patients with no upper age limit.

It is important that you visit your dentist on a regular basis to make sure that your teeth and gums are clean, healthy, and strong. There are many factors which can affect your dental health. If you have crooked or wonky teeth, then you may be more likely to develop dental health complications, and in this case, it is important that you visit your dentist more often so that any signs of tooth decay or gum disease can be detected early on and treated successfully if not prevented completely.

The effects of crooked & wonky teeth

Crooked and wonky teeth affect a significant percentage of the adult population. Even patients who have had teeth straightening earlier on in life can also be affected by misalignment of the teeth. This often occurs in patients who had orthodontic treatment when they were very young and the shape of their jaw has changed since. Sometimes wisdom teeth can affect the alignment of your teeth. You may have suffered from a missing tooth which can affect the alignment of your remaining teeth or you may have suffered from relapse if you did not wear a retainer.

Patients who avoid orthodontic treatment when they are younger, can suffer from a range of complications as a result of crooked, wonky teeth. Firstly, it can affect the appearance of your smile which can affect your self-confidence and your self-esteem. People with crooked and wonky smiles are likely to smile less, which can affect their mental health and well-being. If you have crooked or wonky teeth, then you are more likely to develop plaque on the surface of your teeth. The millions of bacteria that live in plaque cause tooth decay and gum disease as a result of the acids and toxins that they release. This can eventually result in early tooth loss. Therefore it is very important that you speak to us at Clear Braces Direct and find out about teeth straightening sooner rather than later.

Even if you have avoided orthodontic treatment in your younger years, rest assured there are many options available for you. If you have avoided the dentist for a long period of time and are suffering from tooth decay or gum disease then your dentist will be more than happy to help you address these issues and then talk to you about straightening your teeth. If you have healthy teeth and gums, then you can find out about teeth straightening with us directly.

Your bite describes the way your teeth fit together and the alignment of your jaw. If the upper teeth fit slightly over the lower teeth and the upper molars fit comfortably into the grooves of the lower molars then this is described as having a healthy bite. If you have a healthy bite then this creates a neatly aligned smile and it also helps you enjoy optimal function of your mouth. A healthy bite enables effective biting, chewing, swallowing, and digestion. It is important for normal breathing and prevents sleeper disorders. A healthy bite also means that there should be no pain or discomfort in your mouth, jaw or muscles around your jaw. If you do feel any pain or discomfort then you need to speak to your dentist and find out if you are suffering from a bite disorder.

Bite disorders

A bite disorder is when there is a misalignment of your upper teeth and lower teeth which can cause a range of different issues. An easy way to determine for yourself whether or not you have a bite disorder is if you bite your tongue or the sides of your mouth often. If you are suffering from a bite disorder there is an increased chance of biting your tongue or sides of your mouth which can result in cuts and sores. If so you need to speak to your dentist. If you visit the dentist on a regular basis they will be able to identify a bite disorder very early on. Bite disorders can be corrected by straightening your teeth using Invisalign London. Here at Clear Braces Direct we are a Diamond Apex provider of Invisalign London and we can correct overbite, underbite and crossbite using Invisalign London.

With an average treatment time of 12 to 18 months, Invisalign London can help improve the alignment of your teeth and reduce the impact that a bite disorder can have on your teeth long term.

The causes and symptoms of bite disorders

Bite disorders can be caused as a result of genetics, birth defects such as a cleft palate, childhood habits such as sucking your thumb, drinking from a bottle for a long period of time, or the use of a dummy. Bite disorders can be caused later on in life if the size of your upper and lower jaw differ from one another, if you have misshapen teeth or if you suffer from early tooth loss. Wisdom teeth and impacted teeth can also cause bite disorders so speak to your dentist today and find out about improving your bite with Invisalign.

Bite disorders can cause TMJ symptoms. This includes pain and discomfort when you move your mouth. You may feel stiffness, soreness or tightness every time you open and close your mouth. The muscles in your jaw may be tense or strained and this can result in pain and headaches that may begin as mild but over time becomes severe. You may also find that you have difficulty biting and even speaking or pronouncing certain words. By speaking to your dentist about Invisalign these issues can be addressed and you can enjoy better dental health, reduce or alleviate pain and discomfort and improve your quality of life for now and the future.

If you are unhappy with the appearance of your smile then it is time that you speak to our dentist and find out about teeth straightening and the many different options that are available for you. You can straighten your teeth with traditional braces which are made of metal brackets and wires that are fixed to the front surface of your teeth. These are the most popular and have been used for over a century, treating millions of patients across the world with excellent aesthetic results and longevity. However over the last few decades we have seen many different types of braces become established for orthodontic treatment. Teeth straightening can be carried out with clear braces which are the same as traditional braces with more discreet components that are made of ceramic and are either clear or designed to match the colour of your teeth. Lingual braces are braces that are attached to the back of your teeth for even more discreet teeth straightening.

Invisalign – removable aligners

For patients who are reluctant to wear fixed braces you can speak to us and find out about removable aligners. The first removable aligner was developed in 1999 and is known across the world as Invisalign London. Invisalign London pioneered the application of removable aligners and since then many different types of removable aligners have been developed. However Invisalign remains the most popular, and most tried and tested. More than 14 million patients have straightened their teeth in just over 20 years using Invisalign London. Here at Clear Braces Direct we have helped more than 7,000 patients straighten their teeth with Invisalign. We are a Diamond Apex provider of Invisalign which means we are in the top 1% per cent in the whole of Europe.

Within removable aligners there are differences too. Some aligners are designed to target certain troublesome teeth, for example you can straighten protruding front teeth with an Inman aligner. Invisalign aligners, however, are designed to correct a range of orthodontic issues that affect the appearance and health of your teeth.

Benefits of Invisalign

Invisalign can be used to treat crooked, wonky teeth that make you self-conscious or affect your self-confidence. It can be used to straighten overlapping teeth, improve the alignment of overcrowded teeth and apply gentle pressure to close gaps between the teeth to create a neatly aligned, symmetrical smile. This improves the appearance of your smile as well as your overall appearance, boosting your self-confidence and your self-esteem. It also improves your dental health, reducing the chance of developing tooth decay and gum disease. You will also find that teeth straightening improves the function of your mouth. When your teeth are neatly aligned you will be able to bite and chew more effectively, which means less wear and tear on your teeth as well as better dental health overall. Invisalign can be used for bite disorders, improving the alignment of your jaw. This also helps improve a range of symptoms promoting better overall health and wellbeing. With Invisalign you can straighten your teeth in as little as 4 to 6 months or it can take 12 to 24 months to address more complex issues. Speak to us at Clear Braces Direct today to find out more.

Teeth straightening can be carried out in a few different ways. It can either be carried out with fixed braces that are attached to the surface of your teeth and remain in your mouth for the duration of the treatment, or it can be carried out using removable aligners which can be taken out of your mouth and replaced at your convenience. The type of braces that are most suitable for you depend on your individual orthodontic needs, but also your personal preferences. Both types of braces can address complex orthodontic issues although one may take longer than the other. Some patients may need a combined treatment plan and on rare occasions you may need both types of braces to address the misalignment issues of your teeth, but also be in keeping with your personal preferences.

Fixed braces and Invisalign

Fixed braces are the most tried and tested for teeth straightening with traditional braces being used for over a hundred years. Removable braces such as Invisalign London were first introduced in 1999, but having treated more than 14 million patients in this short amount of time there is extensive evidence to show that Invisalign London is also highly effective at correcting misalignment issues of the teeth. Whether you have a crooked, wonky smile or you have overlapping teeth, overcrowded teeth, protruding front teeth, gaps between the teeth or if you suffer from a bite disorder, both fixed braces and Invisalign London can be used to improve the alignment of your teeth, enhancing the appearance of your smile and promoting better dental health at the same time.

Invisalign for discreet teeth straightening

The difference between the two types of braces is that fixed braces are often highly visible in the mouth, especially in their traditional form which consists of metal brackets and wires being fixed onto the front surface of your teeth. There are more discreet versions of traditional braces, however for patients looking for complete discretion, Invisalign is the ideal choice of braces for you. You need to speak to us at Clear Braces Direct to find out more about Invisalign.

Straightening your teeth is an excellent method of improving your smile and improving your dental health at the same time. If you avoid orthodontic treatment when needed then you are more likely to face dental health complications in your life. This is why orthodontic treatment is recommended in young children and teenagers so that they can enjoy healthy teeth and gums for the future. By straightening your teeth you can increase their longevity, preventing early tooth loss and the many complications that tooth loss can have.

Tooth decay and gum disease

Patients with crooked and wonky teeth are more likely to develop tooth decay and gum disease. This is because your teeth are more difficult to clean. Your brush cannot reach all parts of your tooth and floss cannot clean in between the teeth, which means bacteria and plaque build up in your mouth. Plaque is home to millions of bacteria. Some of these are harmful bacteria that release acids and toxins that damage your teeth and gums. By straightening your teeth you will make it easier to keep them clean. Less plaque will be able to build up in your mouth, reducing the chance of developing tooth decay and gum disease.

Invisalign extending dental health

You need to speak to us at Clear Braces Direct and find out about Invisalign London for straightening your teeth.

Your gums will also be healthy and strong and there will be much less chance of developing tooth decay and gum disease. There are different treatment plans with Invisalign London depending on how crooked or wonky your teeth are. It is important to remember however, that if you are already suffering from tooth decay or gum disease then this will need to be treated before you can begin Invisalign. This is because tooth decay and gum disease can weaken your teeth and the roots of your teeth. If you try to straighten your teeth then this can cause permanent damage. By visiting our dentist you can address these issues. Once you are ready we will be able to put together a treatment plan for you.
