This is where opting for Invisalign in SW14, could be a clear solution to straightening up your smile.

The Invisalign journey
Your journey to straight teeth without fixed braces and wires, begins by making your way down to our dental practice in SW14. Invisalign is suitable for most patients, however braces may be a better option for some people with more complex cases. At your initial consultation, your dentist will examine your mouth and see if you are suitable, and also answer any questions or concerns you have.
If you get the thumbs up for treatment, a series of clear aligners are custom made for your teeth. These are to be worn every day for 20-22 hours and will move your teeth little by little. You can easily remove them for eating, brushing and flossing your teeth.
The time the aligners take varies from person to person. It usually takes from 6-24 months. In this time, we ask that we see you every 6-8 weeks to check how you’re getting on, and make sure everything is going smoothly.
