Invisalign: smiles sorted secretly!
At Abbey Road Dental, we have been providing dental care for over 50 years and we are proud to offer Invisalign in St John’s Wood. With a focus on family-oriented general dentistry, our practice provides a calm and relaxing environment where your treatment won’t be rushed. We understand the demands of your busy schedule, which is why we offer appointments, including Saturdays, to suit your needs. If you want to get a super smile, then Invisalign could be the treatment you need if you have mild to moderate alignment issues, such as crossbite, over or underbite, crowded or gapped teeth.
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign in St John’s Wood offers an alternative to traditional metal braces and is discreet and convenient to use. It utilises a series of clear, removable aligners to adjust your teeth and correct various dental issues. These aligners are custom-made to fit snugly over your teeth and gradually move them into the desired position. Invisalign in St John’s Wood is suitable for both adults and teenagers, and is ideal for anyone who doesn’t want others to know that they are undergoing treatment. The aligners are transparent, so they shouldn’t be noticeable when you are wearing them and you can remove them for a couple of hours a day.
How does Invisalign work?
The journey to a stunning smile with Invisalign begins with a consultation here at Abbey Road Dental. Our experienced dentist will assess your oral health and determine if Invisalign is the right treatment for you. If it is a suitable option for you, a detailed treatment plan will then be developed.
During the next appointment, we will use advanced 3D imaging technology to get the measurements we need to have a series of customised aligners created specifically for your teeth. Each aligner is designed to be worn for approximately two weeks before being replaced with the next one in the series. As you progress through the aligners, your teeth will gradually shift into their correct position. You will be provided with enough aligners to last for 6 weeks and then you will come to see us for a check-up and to receive your next set of aligners.
The benefits of Invisalign
If you’re still wondering why you should choose Invisalign, then we’re happy to help! One of the key advantages of Invisalign is its removability. Unlike traditional braces, you can easily remove the aligners when eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. This feature not only ensures better oral hygiene, but also allows you to enjoy your favourite foods without any restrictions. Aside from the fact that Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible, making them a discreet choice for those who are self-conscious about their appearance, they should also be comfortable to wear, because the aligners are made from smooth and comfortable materials, which reduces the likelihood of irritation or discomfort. Invisalign aligners are custom-made for a precise fit, ensuring a comfortable orthodontic experience. When we use the iTero digital scan, we can also produce a 3D animation of what your teeth will look like after your treatment is completed, before you have even started wearing your aligners. This should be an exciting opportunity to help you envisage how great your smile is going to be from the outset of your treatment.
A further benefit associated with Invisalign is that maintaining good oral hygiene is hassle-free. Due to the aligners being removable, you can easily brush and floss your teeth without any obstructions. This helps prevent the build up of plaque and reduces the risk of tooth decay and gum disease. You should also find that your Invisalign treatment typically requires fewer visits to the dentist compared to traditional braces. The aligners are provided in sets, so you can change them at home without the need for frequent adjustments at our practice. This makes Invisalign a convenient option, especially for individuals with busy schedules.
