Invisalign is a subtle, effective, and gentle way for your dentist to straighten your teeth without anyone needing to know you are undergoing treatment. At The Victoria Road Dental Clinic in Ruislip, we believe clear aligners can often be an excellent solution to adult tooth alignment concerns.
In the modern world, a dentist has a number of subtle methods available to them to straighten your teeth than just standard fixed metal braces. At our Ruislip practice we are always keen to stress that the benefits of teeth straightening treatments aren’t all aesthetic – by using a subtle system of aligners to improve the position of your teeth, you can boost your dental health and reduce the risk of conditions such as gum disease, which also have general health implications.
Ruislip teeth straightening options
We offer two discreet aligner systems at our Ruislip dental practice – Invisalign and the Inman Aligner. Whilst the Inman Aligner is an excellent option for rapid correction of issues such as protrusion with the front teeth – typically taking between six and 18 weeks for treatment to be complete – Invisalign can correct a wider range of orthodontic problems.
When you come to Victoria Road Dental Clinic in Ruislip for teeth straightening consultation, your dentist will determine which of the two aligner systems will work best for your needs.
Invisalign treatment in Ruislip
If your dentist decides Invisalign is the most appropriate treatment for you, they will be able to show you what the results will look like before you start your course of treatment, thanks to the advanced 3D software that backs up this system of clear aligners.
You will be prescribed the required number of aligners, which will fit snugly over your teeth to gently guide them into an improved position. Each aligner is worn for a two-week period, and you can take them out for short spells to eat, drink, clean, and brush your teeth. This means that you need no special dental hygiene techniques for the duration of treatment, and it need have next-to-no impact on your lifestyle.
You should wear your aligners for 20-22 hours a day.
