When it comes to addressing misalignment issues that affect the appearance of your smile, there is no doubt that Invisalign is one of the most popular and effective treatments available. This revolutionary approach to straightening teeth, which can also improve the way that the teeth come together when you bite, is considered far superior to using conventional orthodontic braces. And whilst it is also more expensive, patients agree that the additional investment in their smile is more than justified as they enjoy a treatment that is less intrusive on their day to day life and delivers consistently predictable and outstanding results every time.
We are delighted to be able to offer Invisalign treatment here at our family dentistry practice in Chelsea. Here is what you need to know about this treatment and about financing Invisalign in Chelsea.
Invisalign is an innovative, fairly new way of changing the position of teeth so that they sit straighter and in better alignment with one another. The technique uses clear, plastic aligners which are worn over the top of the teeth in a manner similar to a retainer. However rather than once single aligner, patients are given an entire course of bespoke aligners that are designed specifically to reflect the journey that your teeth need to take to move them into a new and improved position. These aligners are designed using cutting edge technology that uses images of your mouth and teeth to plan your treatment. It can even show you how you can expect your teeth to look at the end of your treatment plan, provided that you wear the aligners exactly as directed.
Each aligner is worn for a specified period of time, which is usually up to around three weeks, before you move on to the next aligner in the series. It is essential that you wear the aligners in the correct order to ensure that your treatment progresses properly. You will also need to wear each aligner for a minimum of 22 hours each day, only removing them for eating and cleaning.
Invisalign is reasonably more expensive than conventional orthodontic braces, and this can cause patients to wonder if the extra cost is worthwhile. However, the huge range of benefits associated with Invisalign mean that it is considered far superior to regular braces and is a sound investment in both your satisfaction during your treatment, and the overall appearance of your teeth. Some of the key benefits of choosing Invisalign include the following:
- No need to worry about what you eat. You can take your aligners out for meals, meaning you can continue to eat things that are forbidden when wearing braces, such as hard, sticky or chewy foods.
- Easy to clean. Invisalign aligners are removable and can be cleaned with a toothbrush and toothpaste before you pop them back in. There is no need to deal with negotiating around awkward brackets, wires and bands that are found with braces.
- Superior discretion. Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible once in place, meaning you can still feel confident about talking, drinking and smiling around other people during the course of your treatment.
- Comfort. Invisalign aligners are much more comfortable to wear when compared to orthodontic braces.
- Predictable results. Patients can see what their teeth will look like at the end of their treatment before they make a financial commitment to it.
