The freedom of Invisalign in Central London
July 26th, 2011
‘Pleasurable teeth alignment’: not a phrase you often hear around most of the school playgrounds in central London, nor in fact, many bars either. Mention teeth alignment and you’d probably visualise a mouthful of metal. But thanks largely to a lot of work done on teeth alignment in the USA, Britain has now embraced a new generation of braces and aligners from across the sea, making teeth straightening a fairly problem-free experience: top of the class is Invisalign. This treatment tends to be more expensive than most other procedures, but once you have enrolled, from there on in, it’s advantages put other methods to shame. It comes in the shape of a mouth-guard, changed at regular intervals, that maintains a constant pressure on the teeth, moving them into the desired position in a third of the time it takes for other treatments to work. It is also removable, giving and incredible freedom to wearer when it comes to eating and when keeping up a regular daily oral hygiene program. But where Invisalign wins hands-down over any other treatment on the market today is in the vanity stakes. The mouth-guard is manufactured from a completely transparent, flexible form of plastic, that when worn, is virtually impossible to see in the mouth. The freedom from ridicule this affords anyone that wears it, especially teenagers, means that choosing this treatment to correct your teeth, can actually be a ‘pleasurable’ experience!
You think you see it, but you really don’t! Invisalign in West London
May 19th, 2011
You can try to come to terms with traditional metal, fixed braces- you can get used to the intense cleaning program to keep your mouth hygienic, you can even get the hang of wearing them- not that you have a lot of choice, but it’s the way they often look in the mouth that people have trouble coming to terms with; they’re not always aesthetically pleasing to look at. But now, throughout surgeries in west London, dentist can offer a device that removes all of these problems, whilst reducing treatment times to over two-thirds- Invisalign. This cute little aligner is moulded from a clear material that is very difficult to see when it’s fitted around the teeth; for the very vain amongst us, this device is ‘manna from heaven’, removing the stigma that gives braces such bad press. On an oral hygiene level, it can be removed too, allowing you to keep your teeth clean and healthy during the time the treatment takes. If it has one downside, it’s a tad more expensive than its other peers, but this is definitely one occasion where the advantages outweigh the costs.
West London dentists straighten teeth and improve smiles with Invisalign braces
March 27th, 2011
Metal braces have been the stalwart of teeth straightening for many years now. Although they are always effective they can cause discomfort for patients who find them unsightly and yet have to wear them for several years. This could be especially difficult for teenagers who already experience enough social awkwardness with a mouth full of metal as well. Thankfully there are new options available for teeth straightening.
The clear material that Invisalign braces are made from will eliminate that feeling of social awkwardness as even your closest friends will barely notice that there is anything in your mouth. They lose nothing in effectiveness by being see through however. They are individually made to fit the unique shape of your mouth and this can be done quickly, using digital imaging technology, rather than dental putty and moulds.
Invisalign braces need to be worn for at least twenty two hours a day but you can take them out whenever you need to, perhaps at meal times or if you have an important social occasion. Even if your do choose to wear them during meal times they are easily cleaned. This is a vast improvement on metal braces whose wires and brackets were a magnet for food to get trapped in and could be most awkward to clean.
Invisalign braces are simply replaced as and when you need them so there is no tightening involved. The new one you receive will just be slightly tight so that the adjustment process of your teeth continues. If your West London dentist is registered with Invisalign you can have a free consultation to see if it is the right choice for you. Take the first step towards a brilliant, straight smile.
Discuss whether Invisalign is the treatment for you with a London dentist
January 12th, 2011
Invisalign is a clear removable tooth aligning device that dentists and orthodontists use as an alternative to a dental brace. There are many obvious advantages to wearing Invisalign, firstly the aligners are completely transparent and are much less unsightly than wire and bracket braces, making this a more opted for choice amongst adults as it is very hard to see, also the device is removable. Another reason why the aligner is opted for is that the treatment is a great deal quicker than other traditional orthodontic procedures. The alignment procedure starts with an initial consultation in which you discuss whether Invisalign is the treatment for your teeth, if it is impressions are then made of your teeth and sent off for processing. The impressions are digitized for the dentist so he can plan the movements of the teeth throughout the treatment. Bespoke aligners are then customised for your teeth and are worn for a two week period until it is time to progress onto the next set of aligners, depending on the individual and the amount of alignment required typical treatment time takes around 9 – 18 months. The aligners themselves must be work at all times except when eating and brushing, also check-ups on the aligners will be required every 4-6 weeks. At the end of the treatment the aligners should have moved your teeth into a perfectly aligned smile. Visit a London dentist to discuss Invisaligns further and see if this kind of treatment is the one for you.
Incredible Invisaligns from London W1 dentists straighten your teeth discreetly
December 22nd, 2010
Metal braces have been relied upon in dentistry for many years to correct problems with tooth alignment. The system of metal brackets are wires are extremely effective but look unsightly and can be messy and difficult to clean, making eating difficult and social occasions awkward. The incredible new brace from Invisalign allows patients to have their teeth straightened effectively but with a product that is discreet and removable.
Invisalign braces are virtually see-through, leaving you smiling with confidence throughout the treatment time. Using 3D technology and digital x-rays, Invisalign braces are constructed individually for your unique mouth and gradually move your teeth into the desired position. Eating and drinking can be done without the Invisalign being worn. Just so long as the brace is worn for twenty two hours every day then straightening can be achieved.
Instead of using metal wires threaded through brackets which need to be tightened, your dentist will simply provide you with a new Invisalign when the last one has done its work. As your bite changes, regular appointments at the dentist will be necessary, in order for the new Invisalign to be constructed.
The increased aesthetic appeal of a brace that is virtually invisible is a huge bonus, especially for younger people who might feel awkward enough in social situations with metal brackets on their teeth. The removability makes cleaning, eating and drinking so much easier and Invisaligns are much more comfortable given that there is no more tightening of wires.
If you have alignment issues with your teeth, ask at your London W1 dentist to see if they are registered with Invisalign and take the first step towards improving your smile.
Why choose invisalign in the city of London
November 9th, 2010
We generally think that braces are worn solely by teenagers, but they are being used more and more by adults in order to get back that healthy smile. Like most braces worn in the city of London, Invisalign is designed to straighten crooked teeth and protect the occlusion (bite) of the mouth. The treatment uses a personally designed, clear aligner that is changed every couple of weeks to accommodate movement until the teeth are straight. During consultation, it is possible to show the patient predicted movement of the teeth and the outcome, using 3-D computer generated imaging. But this aligner has several attractive advantages over others. Being removable, it allows for normal oral hygiene to be maintained, can be taken out for eating and removed for going out socially. Being transparent, it is difficult to detect in the mouth, important if you are a teenager or of a vain nature. But the best advantage of all is the period of treatment; about a third of the time that most traditional braces take. It isn’t the cheapest of treatments, coming in at around £3000, but the advantages outweigh the price.
Discover incredible modern braces at London W1 dentist
October 2nd, 2010
Braces. Just the word itself is often enough to strike fear into the heart of a self-conscious teenager. At least it certainly was when I was young but modern day braces are a completely different kind of dental treatment that really considers the effects they might have on the emotional well-being of the patient. Over the last ten years a great deal more thought has been put into how braces look and how quickly they can achieve results than just the pure functional element. This is not to say that modern braces lose any of the straigthening power, in fact, modern technology allows them to be moth more aesthetically pleasing and even more effective than older styles of braces.
Braces are needed to align teeth that have either developed unevenly, or teeth that are causing other dental problems because of their alignment. In this way they are both functional and serve a cosmetic purpose. This means not only do they allow the teeth to function better, but they also make them look healthier and more attractive to others.
Some of the modern braces that achieve these stunning results are barely even noticeable when in the mouth. Invisalign braces, for example, are more or less invisible when fitted in the mouth. They are made of one millimetre thick, clear plastic and moulded to fit the individual’s teeth perfectly, making small adjustments over time and gradually producing the desired results. Other braces such as the Inman aligner concentrate on faster treatment, straightening teeth in as little as ten weeks, making them perfect for patients wanting to make a quick improvement to their teeth. There are many types of modern braces available from London W1 dentist with many different advantages depending on the type of treatment most suitable to the patient’s needs.

Straight teeth without the metal with Invisalign from Central London dentist
September 14th, 2010
Have you ever thought about braces but couldn’t face the thought of having to sacrifice your smile for up to three years while they straighten your teeth? Do your teenager’s teeth need straightening but the thought of standing out from the crowd doesn’t fill them with too much joy? Then you may be interested to learn more about Invisalign braces.
Invisalign is a revolutionary new system that straightens teeth using invisible retainers so you can have the smile you want with out the metal brackets and wires spoiling your smile. The invisible retainers are made from one-millimetre thick clear plastic and are specially designed to fit your teeth. Each retainer is worn for about three weeks before it is replaced with another that has a slight adjustment. Over the course of treatment about twenty-five retainers are used in all, which gradually move the teeth into the desired position. Because the retainers are see-through they are almost impossible to notice unless standing very close to the mouth of the patient.
The other major benefit of the Invisalign system is that the braces are completely removable which means they can be taken out when cleaning the teeth. This means that you can avoid the staining that can occur when you wear fixed bracket braces. It also means that the braces can be taken out if you want to for special occasions. As long as the braces are worn for an average of twenty hours a day they will be completely effective. You can learn more about Invisalign braces from your Central London dentist at your next appointment. They can also give you more of an idea about cost, which will usually be less than traditional braces but will depend on the length of treatment needed.
