Fed up with your smile? Invisalign St John’s Wood could be the answer!

If you have been looking in the mirror and feeling down about your smile because it is misaligned, you may be starting to wonder what could be done to improve it if you were to visit the dentist. While there are discreet options for fixed braces, the answer could be even simpler. Invisalign St John’s Wood offers a discreet treatment option that involves removable plastic aligners, so you don’t even have to wear them all day and when you do, nobody should realise that you have anything in your mouth!

How does Invisalign St John’s Wood work?

Invisalign St John’s Wood works by having aligners made to fit your mouth precisely. At Aura Dental, we use iTero technology to scan your mouth and to get the measurements for your aligners to be made. Once we have scanned your mouth, we can then generate a 3D animation to show you how your teeth should look after treatment has been completed, so you will have a clear vision of what wearing your aligners will achieve. We will then provide you with 6 weeks’ worth of aligners, which you will change between on a weekly basis. After this time, you will need to come and see us for a check-up and we can provide you with the next batch of aligners.

As you wear the aligners, they apply pressure to your teeth to gently move them into the targeted position over time. Treatment can take between 6 to 18 months to be completed, although treatment times will vary depending on your individual needs.

What are the advantages of choosing Invisalign?

Many of our patients rejoice in the knowledge that they can wear their aligners without other people realising that they have anything in their mouths. This can give them the confidence they need to pursue treatment and ensure that they complete it. Furthermore, having removable aligners allows you to continue eating and drinking whatever you want, so you won’t need to worry about your aligners breaking when you chomp on an apple – just remove them before you do! The plastic is very durable, so there should be little need to come and see us for emergency appointments, unlike with delicate wires and brackets that can be more prone to breakage.

Another benefit of choosing Invisalign is the fact that you should find them more comfortable to wear, especially as they are made to fit your mouth precisely. If you do need a break, however, you have up to 2 hours a day for this, which is ample time to play sport, go on a date or do whatever you fancy without them in – we quite like a bit of skipping! Go wild!

Anything else I need to know?

To find out which treatment is right for your particular needs, we do advise that you come in and see us for an initial consultation. We will be able to examine your mouth thoroughly and present you with the right treatment options for you. You can ask as many questions as you need to and we aim to get you the most effective treatment for your specific needs. Don’t be fed up with your smile, get fixed up and happy with it!
