We all understand the awkwardness and embarrassment that comes with wearing “train track” braces as a child. Those feelings can well up again even as an adult when fretting over how to straighten your crooked, crowded or gappy teeth. With a professional life to maintain, it is perhaps even more stressful to deal with fixed metal braces as an adult.

With Invisalign in West Malling, you can forget about metal braces and take advantage of what modern dentistry has to offer. One Smile Oral brings you the latest advances in dental materials and technology in the form of Invisalign clear aligners – a discreet way to straighten your teeth without infringing on your lifestyle.

How does it work?

Invisalign aligners are moulds made from a clear acrylic material that are designed to comfortably fit around your teeth. Using cutting edge 3D imaging at One Smile Oral Care, we put together a 3D picture of your teeth that is used as the basis for creating your custom made set of clear aligners. Each clear aligner is worn for a couple of weeks, after which you switch it out for the next aligner in your set. Every aligner gently but efficiently moves your teeth into a straighter position. With computer-aided technology we can show you how your teeth will shift with each successive aligner so you know exactly what to expect over the course of your treatment.

Maintain your lifestyle with Invisalign in West Malling

Pitting fixed metal braces against Invisalign, it is clear who the winner is. Invisalign technology means you can straighten your teeth without anyone but you and your dentist knowing as they have an almost invisible appearance. No more feeling self-conscious or shying away from photos because you’re worried your braces will stand out more than you. Invisalign clear aligners are also removable, giving you the option to take them off when you eat, floss or brush. So as your teeth gradually straighten out you can focus on your personal and professional lifestyle in West Malling. Invisalign is available at One Smile Dental Care today, so get in touch and let our highly trained dentists help youachieve straighter teeth for a brighter smile.

If you have misaligned teeth, chances are you have daydreamed about what you would look like with completely straight teeth. If you are imagining metal braces with brackets, bands or wires, then you need to know there are now many alternative options.

One of the options to metal braces is Invisalign in West Malling, offered at One Smile Oral Care.

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign braces makes it easy to achieve a straighter smile without the use of the wires or brackets associated with traditional braces. They are completely clear, meaning that they are near invisible to the eye.

We use 3D imaging to create an accurate map of your mouth and show the complete treatment from beginning to end.

Invisalign works by gently guiding your teeth into place, using a series of customised aligners which are created from special impressions taken from your teeth. They are replaced approximately every two weeks as the treatment progresses until the teeth are straightened. The aligners are removable, but should only be done so for eating, brushing and flossing. They should otherwise be worn full time, day and night. The results are a noticeably straighter, healthier smile to be proud.

Who is eligible?

Invisalign is appropriate for those who have fully erupted adult teeth, so it is not suitable for children. The recent introduction of the new model Invisalign G6, means there is a version that is suitable for severe cases of teeth crowding and more difficult cases.

How do braces work in general?

Dental braces, also known as orthodontic braces, use a constant and gentle pressure to realign teeth or move them into a better position within the mouth.  Braces therefore are working in your mouth 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to gently re-shape your smile. The two parts of normal orthodontic braces are the brackets, the dedicated blocks that are affixed to the teeth (which can be metal or made from a tooth coloured material), and the arch wire which connects them, forming the part of the brace which connects everything together, giving the required pressure to straighten the teeth.

How are Invisalign braces different to traditional orthodontic braces?

There are a number of significant advantages which Invisalign braces have over traditional braces, both of which we offer at our practice, One Smile Dental Care, in West Malling. Invisalign treatments involve using clear-coloured aligners that are made from taking an impression of your mouth during your first Invisalign session with our Invisalign dentist. The impression is then used to create a set of clear aligners that are worn in the mouth like a comfortable, snug and tailored gum shield. They gradually realign the teeth without the need for wire metal orthodontic braces.

The major benefits of using the Invisalign clear braces system is that the aligners can be removed at any time for eating, cleaning, brushing and flossing, but still work in an effective way using the same principles of gentle force that are employed with traditional metal wire braces.
