How to straighten your teeth with Invisalign in St John’s Wood?

While the image of a braceface is one we tend to think of during our teenage years, crooked teeth affect more adults than you probably realise, and everyday more and more adults are seeking solutions for their teeth. Many adults feel that the look of traditional metal braces can take away from their maturity in professional, social or romantic settings.

So what other options are there for adults seeking to straighten up their teeth and achieve their dream smile? Luckily, with all the advancements in dental technology, adults hoping to realign their teeth can use Invisalign. In St John’s Wood, our team here at Aura Dental has helped many adults achieve their dream smile using Invisalign.

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign in St John’s Wood has become a popular dental treatment that aligns teeth using transparent custom fit aligners that can be taken out during meals and brushing. The aligners should be worn at all times of the day except when eating and cleaning teeth. At Aura Dental, we use a 3D computer imaging technology, ClinCheck, to map out the movement of teeth to achieve a perfect smile.

What does the treatment look like?

You will wear your clear aligners all day every day except meals and brushing for 7 to 10 days before replacing with your next set. You should visit the dentist to check on the movement of your teeth every 6 to 8 weeks, and the average treatment lasts 9 to 12 months. But when planning to get Invisalign in St John’s Wood, you should discuss your treatment and time frame with your dentist.

Is Invisalign just for adults?

Invisalign is not only for adults. At Aura Dental, we offer 4 types of Invisalign in St John’s Wood: Express, Lite, Comprehensive and First. Invisalign First is designed for ages 6 to 10, which helps develop jaws to make room for existing or incoming teeth. Express, Lite, and Comprehensive are all suitable for adults and teenagers. Express is for slight movement, typically only 7 aligners, and Lite is around 14 sets of aligners. Comprehensive is for a more in-depth orthodontic work lasting 6 to 12 months.
