In the adult world, a great deal of the day-to-day interactions are based on appearances. Business people look professional and in control in their tailored suits, vets look experienced and clinical in their medical tabards. You wouldn’t feel comfortable leaving your hard-earned money with a business owner who was in scruffy jeans and a leather jacket, would you?
Therefore, many adults cringe when they are asked to envision wearing braces; traditional braces are large, metal and far from discreet. Most adults would prefer to live with their misaligned or asymmetrical smiles over wearing braces and who can blame them?
But, there is now a way that adults can undertake orthodontic treatment without the use of large, metal braces; by using invisible braces! With brands like Invisalign in Clapham, it is now possible to get straighter teeth without drawing unwanted stares, leaving you to go about your day-to-day life without worrying about appearances!
Are there any other benefits to having an Invisalign in Clapham? Of course, there are!
Better predictability
Unlike traditional braces, invisible braces come with a sophisticated computer program. This allows your dentist to accurately predict how your teeth will move throughout the treatment, meaning you can see the outcome of your teeth straightening before it begins!
Removable
Unlike some orthodontic braces, invisible braces are often removable, meaning you can take them out when you eat, brush your teeth or even during a meeting!
Although depending on your clinical situation, your dentist may recommend that you wear your braces for up to 22 hours a day, you will still be able to take them out as and when you need to, just make sure you wear them for the ‘prescribed time’ to see the best results.
This also means that throughout your treatment, your dental hygiene will remain top notch!
Accelerated treatment
Many adults have heard the old dental myth that braces past the age of 7 years old are ineffective.
While there are many benefits to having orthodontic issues corrected at an early age (due to the teeth bones not being firmly set), you can still have a brace fitted as an adult. And, if you have an invisible brace fitted, you will have those straighter teeth you want in less than a year!
The average treatment time for an invisible brace is 6 months, so if you want a straighter smile for your imminent wedding, ask your dentist about invisible braces.
Comfortable
With the long wear time each day, you will need to sleep with your invisible brace in.
While this may sound uncomfortable, invisible braces are made from a thin but durable plastic, which is custom-fitted to your teeth and will fit as easily as a glove. Also, with no protruding bits of metal, your inner cheeks won’t become sore or injured.
Exceptional results!
Another plus of invisible braces?
The results are outstanding and as long as you stick with the aftercare regime (typically a retainer), that straighter, correctly-aligned smile will last you a lifetime! Perfect!
