Invisalign Braces in London
Now available from our London Orthodontist
So you live or work in London and you’ve always dreamed of having perfect, straight teeth but can’t abide the idea of having potentially visible brackets in your mouth for a prolonged period? The almost invisible braces by Invisalign are the ideal option for you.
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is one of the most modern types of invisible braces. Using revolutionary digital technology your teeth are scanned, each individual tooth is then moved by an orthodontic technician on a computer screen. Once your final smile has been designed you can see how you look with Invisalign’s remarkable 3D visualisation tool Clincheck©.
By initially creating a digital mould of your mouth, clear braces are then made from plastic, you wear each of these clear braces for approximately 2 weeks and then change them at regular intervals as your teeth move closer to the ideal location. Due to the clear nature of the braces and the fact that they can be removed for eating or occasions where they may prove to be an annoyance, Invisalign are a popular choice for teeth straightening amongst adults.
How long will I need to wear Invisalign for?
The Invisalign braces are supposed to be worn for at least twenty-two hours a day for optimum results but, after you’re used to the feel of them – they are not all that noticeable – compared to the potential friction cause by traditional braces.
At the beginning of the Invisalign treatment the 3-D simulation technology will calculate the number of clear aligners that will be required to move your teeth. You will then need to visit our dental practice in Harley Street, London approximately every six weeks to pick up your next set of aligners and check on your teeth movement progress.
