If you have been considering straightening your teeth for a while then do not delay it any longer. The quicker you start, the sooner you can enjoy the benefits of a beautiful, straight smile. Speak to us at Clapham South Dental Centre today. We will carry out an assessment of your dental health to make sure that it is safe to straighten your teeth. This means looking for any signs of cavities, tooth decay, gum disease or bone decay. These are all factors that may affect your teeth if you undergo teeth straightening so we will make sure that your dental health is in good condition before we begin. If necessary we will carry out some dental work until you are ready to straighten your teeth.

Once we are happy that your teeth and gums are healthy and strong we can talk about what type of braces are most suitable for you. Here at Clapham South Dental Centre one of our most popular choices is Invisalign Clapham. Invisalign Clapham is a modern method of teeth straightening.

Why is Invisalign a popular choice for teeth straightening?

It is popular for many different reasons. Invisalign Clapham can be used for patients of all ages, including teenagers, young adults and it can be used for older adults too as there is no upper age limit.

Secondly, Invisalign Clapham can be used to help address a range of orthodontic issues rather than aesthetic issues only. Previously it was thought that clear aligners such as Invisalign could only correct aesthetic issues of the teeth but thanks to further developments in the Invisalign technology it can now be used for many different types of orthodontic issues.

Finally one of the main reasons why it is such a popular choice across the world is because Invisalign uses clear thermoplastic aligners to straighten your teeth as an alternative to the metal wires and brackets found in traditional braces. These aligners are comfortable to wear, they can be taken out of your mouth when you need to and they are almost invisible. The discretion that they offer means that Invisalign is an excellent choice for those who are looking to straighten their teeth without drawing attention to their mouth.

In just over 20 years Invisalign has been used to treat more than 14 million smiles across the world. It is available at most dental practices and here at Clapham South Dental Centre we can put together an individually tailored treatment plan for you. With Invisalign you may notice results in as little as 3 months and within 6 to 12 months you can transform the appearance of your smile. For those with more complex issues the treatment may take 12 to 18 months however the benefits will last for the rest of your life. With Invisalign not only will straightening your teeth improve the appearance of your smile but it will also help you enjoy better dental health for the future. We can also offer you an Invisalign retainer to maintain your smile. Speak to us at Clapham South Dental Centre today to find out more.
