If you are looking for a discreet orthodontic treatment, look no further than Invisalign, one of the world’s most popular “invisible” brace systems.

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment system, which uses a series of clear plastic aligners to move the teeth and address orthodontic issues. Each aligner is custom-made for the individual and treatment is planned in advance using sophisticated computer software. Invisalign is a very popular treatment because it enables patients to get a beautiful, straight smile without having to worry about wearing visible braces. As the aligners are clear, the braces are virtually invisible to others, so you can smile with confidence without having to worry about what other people think.

How does Invisalign work?

Invisalign uses a series of aligners, which are manufactured according to the individual patient’s orthodontic prescription. Each aligner is slightly different and the treatment is planned from start to finish before the first aligner is even fitted. This is beneficial for patients because they can see the expected outcome before they start treatment. Each aligner is worn for 2 weeks and then replaced with the next one in the series until treatment is complete and you have a beautifully straight smile. The aligners are removable, but they should be worn for at least 21 hours per day in order to ensure a successful outcome. The aligners should be taken out when you eat, drink and clean your teeth.

Who can benefit from Invisalign treatment?

Invisalign treatment is an ideal option for patients who are eager to get the results they want without the hassle or inconvenience of wearing bulky, unsightly braces. Invisalign aligners are suitable for most patients with moderate orthodontic issues, including crooked teeth, spaces between the teeth, crowding and problems with the bite. If for some reason you are not a suitable candidate for Invisalign treatment, we will be happy to discuss other options and recommend treatments that will be more suitable for your needs at Harley Street Dental Studio in London.
