Drifting from the tracks

Wanting straighter teeth but not wanting to go through the motions and movements of braces seems hopeless. Many adults who are working and socialising often associate teeth-straightening treatments with school and childhood. It may seem more appealing to leave crooked or crowded teeth as they are, but that could mean carrying on with an issue that holds back your smile.

In St John’s Wood, Invisalign can give you straighter teeth and take away the hassle of visible braces. In their discretion and flexibility, clear aligners by Invisalign show off the advances of modern dentistry, which can also focus on the cosmetic side of treatments.

Invisalign in St John’s Wood

Invisalign works as a series of clear aligners. These are made especially to fit your teeth, meaning you cannot lend them to any of your friends and family after treatment. These clear aligners are exchanged every 7-10 days and they work to gradually shift your teeth to their desired positions over the course of your treatment.

Although we would encourage you to wear your aligners all of the time during treatment to receive an effective result, they are removable. That means you take them out when you eat and then brush your teeth or even remove them for an extra special occasion if you really want to.

You, your teeth and your smile

At Aura Dental, we place importance on the comfort of our patients. Having to feel embarrassed by your teeth should not be an option when you come to see us, which is why we listen to the worries that might force you to hide your smile.

When it comes to crooked teeth or misaligned bites, it might not just be the appearance your smile that is at risk. Having a cross-bite affects how you bite and chew, causing discomfort or further complications for your teeth in the future. Closing in the gaps between teeth leaves less room for plaque and bacteria to build-up, helping you to avoid problems such as gum disease and tooth decay.

In that case, Invisalign in St John’s Wood gives you all the benefits of teeth-straightening treatments with the invisibility and discretion you might just be looking for.
