Clear braces Clapham: why does anyone have to know you’re having dental treatment?

If you consider yourself to be a bit old school, you will associate braces with visible brackets and wires that people wore in their mouths in secondary school. You may have shunned the idea yourself, because you didn’t want to have to contend with losing your cool kid status, or perhaps the idea of them just didn’t appeal to you. You may now wish that you had done something to make your smile better; however, there’s no need to beat yourself up over missed opportunities! Dentistry has evolved, and now is the time to get clear braces Clapham; nobody should know that you are realigning your smile at all. At Clapham South Dental Centre, we have a range of discreet treatments. One of our most popular is Invisalign, which is suitable for people with mild to moderate alignment issues. There is even a special range for teenagers, so if you have children, don’t let them miss out on getting their smile sorted too! clear-braces-in-clapham

The secret of Invisalign

Many patients love Invisalign because it involves wearing clear plastic aligners over the teeth, so only the teeth should be noticeable, rather than the appliance. The aligners can be removed for a couple of hours a day, allowing you to comfortably have meals, clean your teeth, as well as participate in other activities of your choosing. When you are wearing them, however, they apply pressure to push the teeth into the correct position. This can take between 6 to 18 months, and every couple of weeks, you will need to change to a new aligner. We’ll provide you with 6 weeks’ worth, and you can get more when you come to see us for a checkup! Imagine wearing aligners that nobody will notice and getting an improved smile that will certainly be noticeable!

Bespoke and hi-tech

The great thing about Invisalign is that it uses the latest technology to bring about the best results as quickly as possible. The aligners can be made to fit your mouth with precision, thanks to the digital scan we use with iTero technology. From this scan, we can also generate a video of what your teeth will look like once your treatment has been completed. There’s never been a better time to find out how great your smile could look than before you embark upon the treatment! With the aligners being custom-made for you, they should also offer maximum comfort, and with no brackets or wires to rub on the insides of your mouth, you should find that clear braces Clapham are just that bit more enjoyable to wear with Invisalign.

Can anybody have Invisalign?

Invisalign isn’t a suitable treatment for more complex alignment issues. It is best used with issues such as crossbites, crowded or gapped teeth, and over or underbites. If you book a consultation with us at Clapham South Dental Centre, we can assess whether or not Invisalign is the right treatment for you. We will present you with all the possible treatment options, so you can make an informed decision about which one you would like to proceed with if you choose to go with any of them. If Invisalign is a valid treatment option for you, you know you could have a great smile in a short time, but nobody else will (unless you let the cat out of the bag, of course!) So, why wait any longer? The solution is here with us.
