What better way to start the new year than with a Newsletter. We remain open and here for our patients and with the implementation of our additional safety measures, correct PPE, training, and protocols ensure we are Covid-19 secure. Some routine NHS check-ups have not fully resumed, however, should you have a dental problem or concern. We operate a Dentist-led triage system.
It’s been quite a while since we last updated you on our fantastic range of products and services available. This month, we are excited to introduce one of our premier products, Invisalign. This treatment is ideal for all ages, who want to bite the bullet (pardon the teeth pun) and finally have their teeth straightened professionally and affordably.
Straightening teeth helps to keep them healthy. It can reduce the chances of getting cavities. This is achieved by making your oral hygiene easier, reaching more of the tooth surface. Aligned teeth can help with speech, biting and chewing issues also.
Yes, they are flexible plastic aligners: specifically, a patented thermoplastic material called SmartTrack, created exclusively for the Invisalign treatment. Invisalign clear aligners are FDA-approved and contain no BPA, BPS, latex, or gluten. They are thin, clear, and fit snugly over your teeth, making them virtually invisible. They actively move your teeth to shape your mouth and jaw in the same way metal braces would, but without the unsightly brace.
Invisalign treatment is the process of wearing a series of clear, removable aligners that gradually straighten your teeth. No brackets and wires, and none of the restrictions that come with metal braces.
Your Dentist will create a unique, digital treatment plan that maps out the exact movements of your teeth. Your Invisalign clear aligners are then designed to apply the right amount of force to the right place at the right time based on your plan. Your Dentist will be with you every step of the way to monitor your progress and ensure your aligners fit correctly.
It doesn’t take as long as you might think. Most patients begin to see results after the first few weeks, and the full duration of treatment only takes an average of 12 months.
Invisalign treatment can be a great solution for both adults and teens looking for a virtually invisible method to improve their smile. It is possible to fix nearly all common teeth-straightening and bite issues, from simple to complex — all without interrupting your busy life.
Whist there are many cases that Invisalign are ideal for, there are some that unfortunately it isn’t appropriate. It does not have the same force and ability to move teeth like traditional braces, so complex cases that require major tooth moment, a traditional brace course of treatment may be more suitable.
Other factors Invisalign may be unable to correct are, tooth shape, tooth rotations, large gaps, teeth required to be moved higher or lower. Pervious dental work, such as bridges.
Yes. An open bite is a misalignment of the front upper and lower teeth, which leaves a space in between them. Traditionally, Dentists treated this condition with metal braces. However, Invisalign does offer a comfortable and less invasive treatment option.
Our iTero scanner takes thousands of photographs of your mouth to create a digital 3D model of your teeth and gums. This technology can eliminate the need for traditional impressions! Using the digital model, the clever technology can simulate the outcome of teeth straightening in a matter of minutes. This will allow you to see the potential transformation that Invisalign can make, before you start treatment!
