The number of people wanting to obtain that perfect smile is on the rise, and as they achieve their desired smile their peers and work colleagues should be none the wiser due to an innovative tooth straightening method.
Discretion is a top priority for some people and at West Malling, Invisalign braces are designed just for that. Invisalign is a mould that over time will reshape the line of your teeth. At our practice, One Smile Oral Care in West Malling, Invisalign is offered as a more suitable alternative to traditional braces, especially to adults in public-facing jobs, due to their discretion and ease of use. Imagine the stares and comments you would get if you wore metal train track braces at work – with Invisalign, no one will be any the wiser! The practicality of being able to remove the aligners is favourable but it is not advised to remove them often.
What can Invisalign do for you
Invisalign in West Malling can work on a number of alignment problems. Overbites, underbites or crossbites can all potentially be treated. Plus, work on spacing and alignment problems created by crooked or crowded teeth.
After an initial consultation with your cosmetic dentist, we will be able to get information on how long it will take and whether Invisalign will be suited to your needs. After taking photos and X-rays of your teeth, we will be able to create 3D computer imagery detailing the step by step straightening process. The aligners you will then be required to wear will be made out of clear plastic and will have been specifically designed for your mouth alone. To successfully realign your teeth the mould needs to retain a consistent, gentle but firm pressure.
Why choose Invisalign
The removal of the aligners for eating, cleaning or special occasions makes Invisalign a popular choice but it is advisable to wear the aligners as often as possible to achieve the optimal result. It is recommended that the aligners are worn at least 20-22 hours throughout the day. Total treatment time can vary between patients and what requirements are initially needed but the average time frame is 9-15 months.
