Clear, Convenient Teeth-Straightening With Invisalign In Bristol

Have you ever considered undergoing orthodontic treatment, but been put off by the stigma attached to braces? If this is the case and you long for straight teeth, allow us to introduce you to Invisalign, an invisible aligner treatment, which offers the opportunity to enjoy a perfectly aligned smile without any of the stress associated with visible braces. Invisalign is a popular treatment for teenagers and adults who are looking for a more discreet alternative to traditional braces.

The ins and outs of Invisalign

Invisalign offers an alternative to normal braces and it uses a different approach to treatment. Rather than utilising a fixed appliance, Invisalign employs a series of clear aligners to force the teeth into position. Each aligner is bespoke and the appliances work in a set order. The aligners are worn for 2 weeks and then replaced. Invisalign aligners do not look anything like normal fixed braces; they are made to fit over the top of your teeth in a similar way to a gum shield worn for sport and they are completely clear. The aim of treatment is to straighten the teeth with optimum aesthetics, comfort and convenience.

The benefits

Most people choose Invisalign because the aligners are virtually invisible and this means that life doesn’t have to change much once treatment has started; you don’t need to worry about what people will think or about how you look. You can also eat and brush your teeth in the normal way, as the aligners can be taken out and popped back in very quickly and easily. Aligners are light and they don’t have any troublesome bands or ties, which can be very painful. Invisalign is suitable for many orthodontic patients and it can be utilised to correct a variety of issues, from mild crowding to gaps between the teeth.

Patients from Swindon choose the latest in invisible braces at Clifton Dental Studio

Patients from Swindon and across the UK are becoming more concerned with how their teeth look. If you feel that your teeth are not quite as straight as they could be, this could be having a negative effect on your confidence. In years gone by, the solution to this would have involved the fitting of unsightly metal braces, something which many people felt uncomfortable with. It is easy to understand why, as traditional braces can look unpleasant and also be a source of discomfort for patients. So, if you would like to have a perfect smile, but are wary of orthodontic braces, then Invisalign could be the answer you’ve been looking for. The Invisalign system takes the form of small and virtually invisible braces which will gradually shift your teeth into the correct position while having a minimal impact on your day to day life. Discretion is assured! The braces are easy to wear and are lightweight and transparent. One of the main advantages of this system is that they can be easily removed for eating and drinking, so they shouldn’t interfere too much with your social life and you don’t have the problem of food getting stuck in them. If you visit the Clifton Dental Studio in Bristol and decide that this is the system for you, we will have a set made to measure for you at a laboratory. These will be worn for a period of two weeks before being replaced by the next set. This process does mean a few trips to the dentist but also ensures that the improvement in your smile is gradual and natural looking. At the end of a period between twelve and eighteen months, you will be the proud owner of the straight and even smile that you’ve always wanted.  

Immaculate, amazing Invisalign in Swindon

Some braces and aligners work well, but some work exceptionally well and it is safe to say that Invisalign falls into the latter of these categories, just ask Clifton dental if you don’t believe it. It’s not just about how quickly this device works, though it does work up to three times faster than other braces, no, it is how it works and the freedom it gives to anyone that wears it that really makes it exceptional. Most traditional fixed braces come with a lot of stigma attached to them; for a start, they aren’t the prettiest of things to have stuck in your mouth for a couple of years and you can attract a lot of unwanted and hurtful comments, nor are they the easiest things to clean either and you are in danger of suffering from a build-up of plaque and tartar if you are not extra vigilant. But you get none of this nonsense with Invisalign. The device comes in the shape of a mouth-guard but no ordinary one, it is made from a completely clear plastic and once it is in the mouth, you would have problems even spotting it there. To cap off what is already brilliant about this aligner, it can be taken out whenever you fancy, superb for cleaning your teeth and keeping your mouth healthy. It is quite an expensive option, but honestly, what you pay extra for in Swindon for Invisalign, you save in sanity whilst wearing it.  

Invisible braces no longer a fantasy thanks to Invisalign fitted by Bristol dentists

It is one of the supreme ironies of the traditional metal brace that, although it is employed in order to make teeth look better, during the treatment time, the wearer’s mouth looks unsightly. All of those metal brackets and wires can really hinder self confidence and many are the teenagers who have experienced this first hand. Metal braces are extremely effective at what they do but if you are worried about the appearance of your mouth during the treatment to give you straightened teeth, consider an alternative. One of these new alternatives is called Invisalign and it represents a far more discreet way to get your teeth straightened out into a perfect, uniform smile. Instead of using metal brackets and metal wires, Invisalign is made of clear plastic. Following a consultation with your dentist, he or she will craft a clear plastic ‘plate’ that will fit over your teeth and gently move them into new positions. When the first Invisalign has done its work, your dentist will make a new one for you to wear and the process will continue until the teeth have been moved to the right spots in your mouth. You will need to wear Invisalign for twenty two hours a day but it is completely removable which means far less mess at meal times. Invisalign works faster than the traditional metal brace too and treatment time can often be about one third of what it would take with a metal brace. Your Bristol dentist will be able to give you more information about Invisalign and then you can decide if it is the right treatment for you.
