There are many factors which affect the aesthetics of your smile and these can be addressed thanks to advances in dental technology, with regular visits to your dentist and dedication to looking after your oral health.
If you have clean teeth with strong healthy gums, but are looking to correct the misalignment issues of your teeth and would like an optimally aligned, beautiful smile, then you need to speak to your dentist and find out about Invisalign Hertfordshire.
Not only will this help improve the appearance of your teeth, but it will also promote better oral health.
What is Invisalign used for?
Invisalign can help address wonky teeth, crooked teeth, misaligned teeth, gaps in your teeth, overcrowding of your teeth and protruding teeth.
Whether or not you have undergone orthodontic treatment when you were younger, Invisalign is an attractive alternative to traditional orthodontic treatment, especially for those who may be reluctant about having fixed metal braces to address their aesthetic issues.
It is highly convenient and it is a discreet method of improving the appearance of your smile.
What happens at the dentist?
At your initial appointment for Invisalign your dentist will carry out a comprehensive examination of your teeth and gums to make sure that they are clean, strong and healthy and that you have no underlying dental issues.
Once they are happy with the condition of your oral health, then you will undergo digital scanning of your mouth which will help create an accurate three-dimensional image of how Invisalign can work for you.
The scan results will be sent to the Invisalign lab to help manufacture a series of individually created clear plastic Invisalign aligners, which will work together to create an optimally aligned smile for you.
Each aligner is designed to be worn for two weeks at a time and should be kept in your mouth for approximately 22 hours of the day.
This should help move your teeth by up to 0.25 mm and then you move onto the next aligner in the series.
In this way you work through your series of aligners with visits to your dentist at regular intervals to make sure that the process is coming along successfully.
The duration of the treatment itself will vary according to the extent of misalignment that you begin with, and reviews of Invisalign show that the results are worth the wait.
Once you have achieved your beautiful smile, you may want to speak to your dentist to find out about the use of retainers to ensure that your teeth stay in place permanently.
This is the case with most orthodontic dentistry and helps retain your smile for as long as possible.
The introduction and establishment of Invisalign has proved hugely popular amongst patients and dentists alike over the last two decades and has been used in correcting the misalignment of healthy teeth all over the world, creating happy smiles everywhere.
Speak to your dentist to find out more about Invisalign today, to enable you to smile proudly and happily, and promote better oral health at the same time.
