Just try spotting Invisalign in Shepperton!

admin — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 21:39:09 +0000

You didn’t see arrive and so you don’t know it’s here, but here in Shepperton it very much is- the thing is, it’s invisible so you won’t see it, might feel it though. Now be honest, who would have thought they would ever see the words ‘invisible’ and ‘aligner’ in the same sentence- join the two together and you get Invisalign, an incredible tooth straightening program from the States. To get on the program, you need to be digitally X-rayed, from which your aligner is made and from which you can also see a projected image of what your teeth will end up looking like. There are a series of aligners made for you to change as your teeth move. Some people find discomfort at first, but what aligner isn’t difficult when first fitted and you will soon adjust. Of course you’ll be aware of it being there but here’s golden moment, no-one else will though, because it is barely noticeable- being made from a clear plastic. It’s removable, so you can carry on doing things normally such as cleaning your teeth regularly and eating and kissing, making this a very hygienic treatment to opt for, but here’s the rub- it works 3 times as fast as most other treatments! A tad ironic because you can’t see it anyway so it can take as long as it likes!

Invisalign treatment effectively administered by dentists in Molesley

Getting your teeth straightened out to reveal a perfectly aligned smile has never been easier thanks to the Invisalign treatment. Already hugely popular in the United States, Invisalign has come to the United Kingdom and is gaining new fans all the time. Working from the premise that the traditional brace is rather too unsightly for some and takes a long time to work, Invisalign seeks to remedy these problems.

Although Invisalign cannot rotate teeth, it can easily correct alignment issues and shift teeth so that the bit is straightened and the smile is more symmetrical. Instead of working with a complex series of metal brackets and wires, Invisalign is basically a series of clear plastic ‘plates’ that are worn over the teeth. Each one is constructed by your dentist so that it gradually shifts the teeth a small distance. Instead of the Invisalign having to be adjusted, new ones are fitted until the work is complete.

Invisalign is completely removable too, which gives it another advantage over the traditional metal brace. As long as they are worn for twenty two hours every day, Invisaligns can be removed for meal times, for instance, leaving the wearer able to enjoy their food without worrying about the mess sticking between all the metal brackets and wires. The treatment is also far shorter than that of the traditional metal brace.

If all of this sounds like music to your ears then you could do a lot worse than talk to your Molesley dentist and ask if they are registered with Invisalign. If they are then you can have a consultation and take your first steps towards a perfectly aligned smile the discreet and fast way.

Fixing Your Teeth with Invisalign in Surrey

admin — Sun, 27 Mar 2011 05:00:54 +0000

If you fancy getting your teeth straightened in Surrey with the minimum of fuss and attention, then look no further than Invisalign, a radical new type of aligner from the USA which promises to cut the treatment times of more traditional braces in half. If you sign up for the programme, you can enjoy the benefits a system that no other brace can offer. Ridicule that normally comes with wearing braces is removed by the fact that the aligner is almost invisible, as it is made from a completely transparent material and it is very difficult to spot in the mouth. But the advantages just get better. Wearing Invisalign is like wearing a gum-shield, which makes it removable whenever you fancy, say at mealtime, at a party or even better, when you clean your teeth, making this aligner the most hygienically conscience around today. Even from the time you are measured up for your aligner, a series of 3-D projected images are produced so that you can see how your teeth are going to look throughout the treatment, and as you go along and your teeth are moved into place, a new aligner is fitted at regular intervals to keep your treatment on track. It’s amazingly quick, painless and simple and although a tad more expensive than other orthodontic methods (starting from around £1800), the pro’s far outweigh the cons of this unique little aligner.

Weybridge dentists straighten teeth quickly and efficiently with Invisalign braces

admin — Wed, 09 Feb 2011 05:00:14 +0000

For many years, if you wanted to have your teeth straightened there wasn’t much option but to have a traditional, metal brace fitted. They have always been extremely effective but unfortunately can lead to a lack of confidence because of their obtrusive and unsightly appearance. Advances in dentistry mean that there are now other ways of straightening your teeth with don’t have the same effect on your appearance.

The fact that Invisalign braces are known as the ‘see through braces’ or even ‘invisible braces’ is testament to how discreet they are. They are still constructed individually to suit your unique mouth but they are made of a material that is see-through and even your closest intimates would have a difficult job seeing that you are wearing it.

Modern, digital technology means that they can be made quickly too, without any lengthy waits and the discomfort of dental putty to take moulds. What’s more, they are completely removable and can be taken out for important social occasions or sports as long as they are worn for at least twenty two hours every day.

What with the fact that there is not tightening of wires involved, patients find that Invisalign is far more comfortable than traditional metal braces. Instead of tightening, your dentist will simply provide you with a new Invisalign when you need one to continue the process of adjusting your teeth so that they are nice and straight.

If your Weybridge dentist is certified with Invisalign then they might be able to begin treating you as soon as possible and you will be well on the way to having a beautiful, straight smile that you can be proud of.

Invasalign Treatment At Worcester Park

admin — Fri, 15 Oct 2010 03:42:33 +0000

Wearing braces at any stage of your life can be daunting and often complex. But a relatively new idea from America has revolutionised the treatment, according to dentists at Worcester Park. Invasalign does what most orthodontic procedures do. It’s concerned with teeth straightening, crooked teeth, crowded teeth and the occlusion of the jaw- the bite, just like traditional braces, but it offers a lot more benefits. Before treatment begins, consultation must take place and once decided upon, then the dentist will take moulds, photo’s and x-rays and feed them into a computer to develop 3-D images. This allows the patient to see forecast images of stage-by-stage treatment and more uniquely, an image of the final result. Once the patient starts the treatment, an ‘invisible’ retainer is fitted to the teeth and starts to work like a conventional brace, slowly pulling the teeth into place. Here’s where the similarities start to differ. Though the retainer must be worn for at least 22 hours a day, it can be removed for eating and teeth cleaning- this cuts down on the build up of plaque and bacteria. It will be replaced every 2-4 weeks with a new one to continue the movement of the teeth. Other benefits of Invasalign is that is non-invasive, there are no wires are the mouth is less likely to suffer from irritation in the beginning. Treatment times also differ greatly from conventional braces. The Invasalign course lasts up to 18 months, normal braces anywhere up to 96 months. But it is the cosmetic advantages that make this product popular. It’s difficult to detect in the mouth and people around you can be unaware that you are undergoing treatment. Price? Up to £3000 can stop the playground ridicule!

A Weybridge dentist talks about how the Invisalign works

admin — Wed, 15 Sep 2010 03:55:17 +0000

An Invisalign is a brace system that works, and works well. It is an improvement on traditional braces in the way it works and looks, says a Weybridge dentist. On your first visit the dentist will identify the problem that needs fixing, then using digital pictures that are fed into a computer system, they will plan out and design a series of braces that will be fitted every two weeks. The braces are unique in that they are self contained with all the `gubbings` secreted on the inside to hide them from the visible eye. It`s called the Invisalign because of the clear look of the brace, the most amazing thing is that it is also removable and can be taken out and replaced by the client. When cleaning your teeth or eating your food you simply pop them out and then back in again, in fact you can leave them off for a few hours every day. For the busy and fashion conscious executive, this is a handy tool to have when you are used to face to face meetings or business lunches and dinners. The series of braces are all made before the treatment even starts, using a 3D CGI film, which is also created by the system, you and your dentist can see the whole process before you even start, at the end of the film you`ll see the end result. The process is quite scientific as well and will agitate the blood system to produce more new bone cells, these will attach themselves behind the teeth as they move, and keep them in the new position that the braces will manipulate them into.

The Invisalign Brace is a brilliant innovation, says a Weybridge dentist

admin — Sun, 08 Aug 2010 06:32:34 +0000

As braces go the Invisalign is a wonder of the modern technological age we live in. Using all that technology and computer power has to offer, this brace is a brilliant innovation says a Weybridge dentist. It’s so called because it is advertised as the invisible brace, and to an extent that is true. The innovation comes in many forms, from the 3D film of the entire process that is made from the beginning, to the fact that they are replaced every two weeks to ensure they work properly. From digital photos a computer program works out all the pressure point and where the springs and pulleys will be placed under pressure. An orthodontist then makes the series of braces which are fitted every fortnight by the dentist. The patient can also remove the piece, which resembles a sporting gum shield, for eating and cleaning their teeth. As long as they keep them in for at least 20 hours a day they will accomplish the job in hand, and that is to straighten the teeth. The process agitates the jaw line as well and this makes the body produce more bone cells, these are then deposited behind the moving teeth and build up to form a barrier that stops the teeth falling back into their old position. It seems that everything has been thought of here, and it is becoming very fashionable to have one fitted to fix your wonky teeth. The busy executive likes them as they can lose them when doing meetings.

The solution to braces with Invisalign from Shepperton dentist

admin — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 12:46:29 +0000

We all know somebody who wears or who has worn braces. In fact, they are more or less ubiquitous among the teenagers of today as having a great smile becomes more and more important. But are braces really the only answer? Ask anyone who wears them and they can list as many problems as there are hours in the day. Some of the common complaints are that they are painful, they irritate the mouth and they seem to last forever.

This last point is very important, as is the fact that speaking truthfully, a brace is never a good look and can really ruin a smile for the duration of treatment, which could be as long as three years. Finally, however, there is an answer to the question of braces.

Invisalign is a new invisible brace system that straightens teeth with little or no aesthetic impact during treatment. They are made from one millimetre thick clear plastic that is virtually invisible in the mouth. Each retainer-like brace is worn for a period of about three weeks before it is replaced with another.

Two of the major advantages of the Invisalign system are that it is completely removable and that treatment lasts o average six months less than with conventional metal braces. You really don’t seem to be able to loose, and then you are told that they may even be cheaper than a conventional brace. Ask your Shepperton dentist about Invisalign braces if you think you or your child’s teeth could do with straightening. It might just be the best decision you ever make.
