There are millions of people in the UK who could benefit from some kind of orthodontic teeth straightening, but more often than not people are put off by the idea of having to wear ugly metal braces for up to three years in order to achieve the perfect smile. However, there is now an alternative that can offer straighter teeth with a maximum degree of discretion and the minimum of discomfort.

The Invisalign system is a series of clear plastic aligners that fit over the top of the teeth making small adjustments in order to move them into position. The aligners are changed every two to three weeks with each new aligner increasing the movement of the teeth. The aligners are almost completely invisible unless standing very close to the patient and they are also removable which further limits the impact of the brace.

Invisalign braces were invented in the US in the last few years of the last century and have been revolutionising the way teeth are straightened. They are now available in this country from Sunbury dentists and are suitable for nearly every patient. Make an appointment with your dentist to discuss the possibilities of the Invisalign system.

For patients frustrated by the lack of alternatives to metal braces, the Invisalign system may be exactly the product they have been waiting for. It is now possible for them to straighten their teeth without using the uncomfortable and unseemly metal braces. And with Invisalign braces taking on average six months less than traditional braces, it really could be possible to achieve the dream smile you have always wanted.

More and more patients are choosing metal free orthodontic teeth straightening with Invisalign braces. The Invisalign system uses the latest computer technology to create invisible plastic retainers that fit over the teeth discreetly, straightening them without the need for uncomfortable and unpleasant looking metal braces.

Invisalign braces are virtually unnoticeable when in the mouth, as they are made from one millimetre thick clear plastic. They are manufactured using the latest three-dimensional imaging and digital x-rays to specifically fit your teeth. A system of twenty or so retainers are worn for periods of two to three weeks over the course of the treatment affecting small changes with each replacement. This gradually moves teeth into position without the need for irritating brackets or wires.

Another major benefit of the Invisalign system over traditional braces is the fact that they are completely removable. This means they can be taken out for eating and cleaning, reducing the impact on the life of the patient. Patients can eat what they want, when they want and remove the retainer for important occasions.

Weybridge dentists can offer free Invisalign consultations to see if you are a suitable candidate for the Invisalign treatment. It is suitable for almost all forms of orthodontic straightening but patients with severe misalignments may need some prior treatment before Invisalign braces can be successfully used.

The Invisalign treatment is the most discreet way to straighten teeth. Because it does not use any wires or brackets it is also one of the most comfortable and its flexibility means that the braces fit around the lives of the patients rather than the other way round. If you have always wanted straighter teeth but were afraid of the old style metal braces, ask a Weybridge dentist about Invisalign braces.

For patients not blessed with naturally straight and even teeth, a perfect smile can be achieved by wearing orthodontic braces. In the past, patients have been limited to fixed-metal braces that are both ugly and uncomfortable, which could have a serious impact on their lives. Fixed braces were not only aesthetically unpleasant but they also made eating a messy experience and certain foods were off the menu completely. Braces are unfortunately most effective during the developing teenage years, meaning that patients in their most difficult and emotionally challenging years would stand out from the crowd. Luckily, advances in dental technology provided an answer in the form of Invisalign clear plastic retainers.

Created by Align Technologies in 1999, Invisalign retainers are one-millimeter thick see-through plastic retainers designed and manufactured for each individual’s teeth. A series of twenty or so retainers, worn for a period of two to three weeks each, gradually moved teeth into a the desired position. The retainers are made using the latest computer-aided design and manufacture technology to provide straighter teeth with the minimum amount of discomfort. Because the retainers are see-through, they are almost impossible to see when fitted over the teeth, unless standing very close to the patient.

Even more importantly, Invisalign retainers are completely removable so they can be taken out at meal times and for important social occasions. This again reduces the impact on the patient’s life and creates no restrictions on what they can and can’t eat. The retainers are easily cleaned with normal toothbrushes and tooth paste.

Invisalign retainers really do offer straighter teeth without the sacrifice. Treatments usually last between one and two years which is slower than some other retainers on the market, but because of the reduced impact of treatment and quality of results, is rarely an issue for most patients. If you suffer from misaligned teeth and are looking for a discreet and pain-free way of straightening them, make an appointment with a Surbiton dentist to discuss the benefits of Invsalign plastic retainers.

In 1999 Align technologies introduced Invisalign braces and revolutionized the world of orthodontic treatment. Prior to the release of Invisalign, the only options to obtain straight teeth were uncomfortable and unseemly metal braces or ill fitting and ill-effective plastic retainers.

For millions of teenagers the prospect of wearing conspicuous metal braces was a frightening one. After all, no one wants to stand out form the crowd in the difficult teenage years. For adults who wanted to straighten their teeth the idea of metal braces came with the stigma attached about being too old to wear them.

Invisalign offered a genuine alternative to the millions of people who want to straighten their teeth without having to wear metal braces. The one millimetre thick plastic retainers are manufactured with the use of CAD/CAM technology, a revolutionary new process in dental design. Standing for computer aided design/computer aided manufacture, this meant that with the help of the latest digital x-rays and 3D projections, dentists could build up an incredibly accurate three dimensional picture of the teeth on the computer, without the need for laborious and unpleasant dental moulds. Using this imaging they could then manufacture plastic retainers to perfectly fit your teeth. By making small adjustments to each new set of retainers, that a patient receives every two to three weeks, gradual adjustments could be made to the teeth, manipulating them into a straighter position. On average, about 20 sets of retainers are needed to complete the treatment but this depends on the patient and extent of straightening needed.

Invisalign retainers are so discreet that they are virtually impossible to notice unless very close to the patient. They are also removable which means they can be taken out at meal times, unlike more conventional metal braces. This means that certain foods, which would otherwise be off-limits to brace wearers, can still be enjoyed by Invisalign wearers.

Invisalign braces may not be suitable for all patients. For those that need severe corrective treatment, it may still be best to start with metal braces, although these can be substituted for Invisalign during the treatment period. Consult your Molesey dentist about straightening your teeth with Invisalign braces, the most discreet way to straighten your teeth.

Even though your teeth may be crooked, there is no reason to wear unsightly metal braces. Today, the Invisalign system will straighten your teeth out without all those unsightly brackets and silver bands. Without a question, if you have a teenager that needs braces, or you are an adult, Invisalign may be one of your best options. Today, you can ask your Surbiton dentist to give you more information about Invisalign braces.

Many people that have worn traditional braces can tell you that they can easily abrade your tongue, inner cheeks, and lips. On the other hand, the Invisalign braces will not cause this kind of damage. Chances are, you will be pleasantly surprised to find that these braces are comfortable and useful at the same time. In some cases, you may even find that you will have fewer problems maintaining good oral hygiene with this particular system.

Unfortunately, many people that had their teeth straightened out as children still have problems as adults. Among other things, individual teeth may drift out of alignment. Invisalign braces are perfect for managing these issues. Aside from ensuring that your teeth will remain straight, you will not need to worry about going to work with visible braces on your teeth. Anyone that had to wear conventional braces during the highschool or college years can most likely appreciate the aesthetic benefits of invisible braces.

When you need braces, chances are you already understand the benefits that come with having straight teeth. That said, if you choose traditional braces, you may feel very uncomfortable with them. Fortunately, modern technology enables you to have invisible braces that will work just as well as traditional ones. Without a question, if you need braces, then you should ask your dentist about the Invisalign system.

Does your crooked tooth undermine your self-confidence?  Invisalign may be the answer to your dream of having straight, natural-looking teeth.
Invisalign or invisible aligners do not employ metal-wire braces traditionally used in orthodontics to correct crooked teeth or close gaps between teeth.
They are clear or transparent braces that gradually move your teeth into a straight, natural-looking position. Following are some advantages of Invisalign over metal-wire braces:
• Comfortable to use – metal-wire braces cause discomfort to users. They can be painful and irritating and may cause inflammation of soft tissue and gums. Initial wearing of Invisalign may cause a slight discomfort, but the feeling gradually diminishes as you continue to wear these invisible aligners.

• Good oral hygiene is easy to maintain – with metal-wire braces, food is trapped and cleaning your teeth with a brush or floss is difficult to do. Improper cleaning of teeth may lead to gum diseases, bad breath or tooth decay. Maintaining a proper oral hygiene is easy with Invisalign because you can remove the aligners when you eat or brush your teeth.

• Inconspicuous – Invisalign is only discernible to anyone up close. This means that no one will notice that you are under treatment because Invisalign aligners are transparent, thus it would not affect or disrupt your lifestyle.
Weybridge dentists may offer you Invisalign as a solution to majority of misalign teeth problems, such as underbites, crossbites, overbites, crowding and gaps.
For severe cases of orthodontic problems, Inivisalign may not be the correct dental appliance to use so it is advisable to consult your Weybridge dentist.

The Invisalign® system is available in Sunbury. Made up of a sequential series of clear plastic teeth aligners and complex computer technologies, Invisalign® has been successful in numerous cases where teeth straightening and movement are required. Along with being unnoticeable, Invisalign® offers teeth movement that is more comfortable than ordinary braces. The Invisalign® system usually takes about a year to complete versus regular orthodontics, which takes 2 to 3 years to complete. There are several cases where Invisalign® cannot be used, including very crowded teeth or teeth that are not fully erupted. They are not and should not be considered to substitute for orthodontic treatment. However, Invisalign® systems are popular and many patients request them.
Consult your Sunbury dentist to see if you are a good candidate for Invisalign®. If your dentist feels that you are a good candidate after examining your mouth, your dentist will proceed with a detailed oral examination, including dental radiographs and study models. The models are then sent to the laboratory where a complex computer program will evaluate the models and the tooth movements required. A series of 12-48 clear plastic sequential aligners will be made and returned to the dental office. Your dentist will then help you to place your first aligner tray. This tray will snap over your teeth, but may feel that it doesn’t fit correctly. The aligners are fabricated to accurately fit your teeth when your teeth reach their new desired position. Shortly, your teeth move to the guided tray position and then are given time to rest, before the next tray is placed. This allows the bone surrounding the teeth to remodel and tighten your teeth. The whole procedure should take about a year. Your Sunbury dentist will want to see you once a month to see how you are progressing.

Invisalign® is now available at your Weybridge dental clinic. The procedure includes a series of clear plastic “teeth aligners” fabricated using a complex computer technique. “Teeth aligners” are manufactured specifically for each individual to straighten and move their teeth. This is more accepted today, rather than the orthodontic wires and brackets of old. However, there are times when these are also required in certain cases. Your Weybridge dentist is trained in Invisalign®. Moreover, Invisalign® offers a more comfortable teeth movement process and is patient friendly, meaning the patient can remove the trays to clean their teeth, and there are no sharp edges. . Invisalign® takes about a year to achieve the required result, versus 2-3 years for normal orthodontic braces. There are several other limitations to Invisalign® in that, it cannot being used for partially erupted teeth or very crowded teeth. Invisalign® is becoming very well-liked.
Have a consultation with your Weybridge-based dentist prior to choosing if Invisalign® is your best choice. Your dentist will perform a complete work-up and examination. Your dentist will make a mould of your mouth and analyse them. If it is decided that Invisalign® is right for your teeth, the moulds will be scanned into a computer, and your series of successive 12-48 clear plastic trays are made and returned to your dentist. Your dentist then helps you to insert your first trays, and give you lessons on placing the trays in the right succession. The trays won’t feel right at first, but will then feel more comfortable as your teeth begin to move. Your teeth will then be given time to rest in their new position, and then the next tray will be inserted, and so on and so forth, until your teeth are moved unto their final resting position. You will see your dentist monthly to make sure everything is going as expected, and for slight modifications if necessary.
