How Invisalign can straighten your smile in secret

June 2, 2016Dentist North LondonBraces

Invisalign clear aligners offer an alternative to conventional braces for your dentist to straighten your teeth. At Victoria Road Dental Clinic in Ruislip, we have used this system successfully for many of our patients. If you are interested in tooth straightening treatment without the need to wear obvious, fixed metal appliances, read on to discover how Invisalign could just be the perfect treatment for you. . .

The benefits to be gained from teeth straightening

At our Ruislip dental practice, we are always keen to point out the health benefits of having straighter teeth. Of course, using discreet products such as Invisalign to improve the alignment of your teeth can have seriously positive effects on your self-confidence, which in turn can improve your interactions with others in a business and personal setting.

But there are health benefits to be gained too. When you straighten your teeth, they become easier to clean, because there are fewer gaps in which plaque and tartar can build up. This helps you to maintain good dental hygiene, with regular visits to your dentist and a good home regime.

On the subject of dental hygiene, that is one of the benefits of using Invisalign to straighten your teeth. As well as being clear, these aligners are removable. That means you can pop them out to eat and drink, to clean, and to brush your teeth. Unlike standard braces, you don’t need to follow any special hygiene advice during treatment – other than keeping your teeth and aligners clean.

Invisalign in Ruislip

If you are interested in finding out more about treatment with Invisalign, we invite you to join us at our Ruislip practice for a consultation. Your dentist will examine your teeth and your bite to assess if this is the most appropriate treatment to suit your needs.

You will be prescribed a series of aligners, which you need to change every two weeks as your teeth move. The aligners should be worn for approximately 22 hours per day, to ensure treatment progresses as planned, and you will need to come into our Ruislip practice periodically so your dentist can check on your progress.
