Clear and removable Invisalign in St John’s Wood

Getting braces as an adult is a treatment that promises thousands of moments of mild embarrassment as strangers clock the metal brackets and wires on your pearly whites, look up to gauge your age and then do mental acrobatics that you read as ‘No! You’re far too old for braces’.

Some will even go on to comment and ask you why you are wearing braces as an adult. This can get tiresome over the months you will be wearing braces, and at times you may even wish to say something rude, which may not be a good plan if you are in a public-facing job.

Invisalign in St John’s WoodYou can avoid these many moments of social awkwardness if you get Invisalign in St John’s Wood from us at Aura Dental.

Invisalign is a way of straightening mild to moderate misalignments that is both invisible and removable. Teeth straightening Nirvana, frankly.

Here’s how Invisalign in St John’s Wood works:

The consultation

You start with a free consultation, where we determine whether or not Invisalign is the best system for you. Because Invisalign is based on mouth guard-style aligners, there are some alignment issues it cannot help with, such as partially descended teeth.

If you are suitable, we take detailed measurements of your teeth and feed that information into a programme that will show you how your teeth look now and how they will move into alignment.

The treatment

You receive a series of bespoke clear, very thin plastic aligners. You start at aligner #1 and wear it for at least 22 hours a day. Over the course of the next 10 days or so, it will feel increasingly comfortable as the built-in pressure points move your teeth. Once it fits perfectly, it’s time to move onto the next aligner.

The advantages

Very thin, transparent plastic means your aligners disappear from view once in place. No funny looks, no comments, just magically straighter teeth.

You take your aligners out to eat and drink so there is much less hassle than with fixed braces.
