There are several contemporary treatments that can straighten your teeth without causing you too much social and physical discomfort. Using a different technique from traditional wire-and-bracket braces, and available now in SW14, Invisalign is a popular realignment treatment. At Sheen Dental, we have many years of experience in delivering this customised solution.
Careful procedure
Our meticulous planning helps to make your experience of Invisalign in SW14 a smooth one. Your journey will begin with a conversation at our friendly dental practice. We’ll assess your oral health and your suitability for this treatment, which we use in a wide variety of mild-to-moderate conditions. Then we’ll send some detailed images of your teeth to a dental laboratory, who’ll produce a series of transparent plastic aligners. Carefully shaped for a snug fit, you’ll wear a set of these aligners for 7-10 days, before you move on to the next set in the series.
Because the shape of each subsequent aligner is slightly different, your teeth will slowly be pressured into more effective positions.
Convenient and discreet
Wearing Invisalign in SW14 is an experience of discreet comfort. The aligners’ transparent plastic material means they’re almost undetectable by other people. If you have a customer-facing work role, or an important upcoming social occasion, you’ll avoid unwanted attention. Plus, you can take the aligners out of your mouth when you need to use your toothbrush or eat some food. This convenient feature allows you to keep a high standard of oral hygiene as your treatment continues.
Aftercare
You’ll probably be wearing Invisalign in SW14 for 12-18 months. This could be longer if you have to achieve a more complex realignment. When the aligners come off, you’ll normally have to wear a retainer at night, to ensure the teeth get comfortable in their new positions.
While it takes time to enhance the alignment of your teeth, you’ll be experiencing the benefits of Invisalign in SW14 for many years after it’s over. You’ll have teeth that work together more effectively, and a smile with increased aesthetic appeal. Plus, your overall risk of developing gum disease and tooth decay will be reduced, because it’ll be that much easier to keep your teeth clean.
