Gentle and efficient teeth straightening with Invisalign

Invisalign London is an excellent method of teeth straightening that can help you improve the appearance of your smile and enjoy better dental health. It is comfortable and convenient yet, as with other teeth straightening procedures, there are a few things to consider before undergoing treatment with it.

Make sure any teeth straightening is right for you

To begin with you need to make sure that your teeth are free of tooth decay. Tooth decay can often be asymptomatic to begin with so you may not have any symptoms, but that does not mean you do not have cavities or decay. By undergoing a thorough examination of your teeth and gums before beginning your Invisalign London treatment you can prevent complications in the future. This is because teeth that are affected by cavities and tooth decay are not right for teeth straightening. Within a year or less dental complications may begin to show. Any restorative dental treatment needs to be carried out before you can straighten your teeth.  Once you have a positive diagnosis and your mouth is free of cavities, tooth decay, abscesses, gum disease and periodontal disease then you are ready to undergo teeth straightening with Invisalign London.

Individually tailored treatment plan

Next you need a thorough smile assessment to find out which issues need to be treated using Invisalign. Your teeth may be misshapen, some small, some large, you may have chipped and worn teeth, there may be issues with your bite or your teeth may simply be crooked and wonky. By assessing each of the issues that are affecting the appearance of your smile and the alignment of your teeth and jaw, we can put together a customised treatment plan for you and achieve a beautiful smile.

Invisalign helps correct the alignment of your smile within 6 to 12 months, depending on the extent of misalignment that you begin with. It is better suited for patients with mild or moderate misalignment issues of the teeth, whereas more complex dental needs may need to be addressed using fixed braces to begin with before you can complete the procedure with Invisalign.

Smile makeover

Invisalign can also be used to align your teeth prior to other dental treatments.

Maybe you are considering whitening or brightening your teeth and you are looking to improve your smile with veneers, using invisible braces is a great way to prepare your teeth for a big transformation. If you are looking to undergo dental implant surgery to replace missing teeth then it may also be a good way to create space for replacement teeth.

Using Invisalign with us is convenient. You will be able to straighten your teeth in the comfort of your own home with very little time spent at the dental practice. The aligners are delivered to you and you work through the process independently with little or no fuss.
