Invisalign in St John’s Wood: hassle-free teeth straightening

The thing about braces is that they are a bit of a pain to wear. They’re not as much of a pain as in the 70s and 80s when they were enormous and made of serious metal and took over almost your entire face, let alone your mouth, but they’re still a bit of a drag.

That’s what puts most people off getting their teeth straightened, the idea of all that extra time spent poking around trying to remove bits of your lunch (memo to self: don’t eat spinach) from behind the brackets.

Then there’s the sheer embarrassment of being a serious grown-up for goodness sake, with metal all over your teeth like you were still only in year 8. It’s not a good look now you’re an office manager/traffic warden/global superstar.

If either or, more likely both, of the above are putting you off getting straight teeth then have we got some good news for you. At Aura Dental, we can fit you with Invisalign in St John’s Wood, and no one, except maybe your mum and your best beloved, will be any the wiser.

Never heard of Invisalign in St John’s Wood?

We’re not surprised, that’s how good these very thin, transparent mouth guard-like aligners are at stealth straightening. They hug your teeth like a second layer of enamel and once they are in place, they are pretty much invisible. Hence the name, Invis-align. Clever, eh?

The great thing is that not only can no one see them, so you get to look like a grown-up all the way through your treatment, but you also won’t have to spend hours flossing and brushing round your aligners. Nor will you have to give up spinach or any other foods you love.

This is because Invisalign aligners are made to be removed when you eat or drink anything other than plain water. Take them out, eat that spinach, clean your teeth, put them back in. Just make sure you wear them for at least 20 hours a day to stay on schedule with your treatment, which, by the way, takes a year on average.
