Orthodontics is involved in straightening the Teeth and addressing misalignment issues to help improve the aesthetics of your smile and promote better oral health at the same time. Traditionally orthodontic treatment here at the Dentist Harley Street is carried out using metal braces which consist of wires and brackets attached to the front surface of the teeth. This is still one of the most common forms of orthodontic brace and is widely seen in children and teenagers. Unfortunately there is a high reluctance amongst adults to undergo this effective method of treatment. This has led to much research and design in the field of orthodontics to help meet the requirements and preferences of this modern generation who are more conscious of their physical appearance, are looking to improve the aesthetics of their smile, but are not keen on traditional metal braces. To fit this brief, advances in dental technology have seen the introduction and successful establishment of many different alternatives.
If you have not undergone orthodontic treatment when you were younger, or perhaps you have had braces previously, but would like to perfect your smile further than speak to your dentist here at Harley Street Dental Clinic and find out about the different options we have available for you.
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a form of invisible orthodontics which has become a highly popular and effective alternative to traditional orthodontics using metal wires and brackets, here at the dentist Harley Street. A treatment of Invisalign uses a series of invisible aligners which are individually tailored to help gradually change the positioning of your teeth, until your misalignment issues have been addressed and you are happy with the new setting of your teeth. The duration of the process itself depends on the severity of the misalignment of your teeth, but results are achievable in as little as 6 months.
If you are considering Invisalign here at your dentist Harley Street then contact us today and speak to one of our team to book an appointment with the dentist to find out more. Successful treatment using Invisalign requires that you have clean teeth and healthy gums to begin with. At your initial appointment you can discuss your requirements and what you are looking for with your dentist and then you will undergo a full examination of your mouth to first make sure that your teeth are clean and that your gums are healthy and that you have no underlying issues present. When the dentist is happy that this is the case then they will assess the misalignment of your teeth and discuss with you whether or not Invisalign is the most suitable treatment option to address your needs or whether you may be more suited to a different form of orthodontic braces.
There are many other forms of invisible orthodontics which you can discuss with your dentist, but rest assured whichever treatment option you decide to go ahead with, here at Harley Street Dental Clinic we have your best interests at heart.
