Introduced and established just over two decades ago, Invisalign St John’s Wood has helped to correct millions of smiles across the world and continues to grow in popularity amongst dentists and patients alike. It is ideal for treating mild or moderate misalignment issues and for extensive teeth straightening it can be used in conjunction with other orthodontic procedures. Speak to us today to find out more about Invisalign St John’s Wood and how it can correct the misalignment issues of your teeth.
How does it work?
First you will need to book an appointment to visit our dentist in person for a thorough comprehensive examination of your teeth and gums before you can begin treatment with Invisalign. Our dentist will make sure that your teeth are clean and healthy and that your gums are strong and free of disease. If you do have any underlying dental issues then these will be treated with our vast range of restorative dental treatments prior to beginning any teeth straightening.
Once you are ready for Invisalign you will need to undergo a specialised three-dimensional scan of your teeth and gums, which will create a digital image of your mouth that can be sent to the Invisalign technicians. They will then use your scan results to create a highly accurate image of how your teeth will look following treatment with the aligners. The technicians will then send this image back to our dentist with whom you can discuss the results and decide if you would like to go ahead with the procedure. Once you give the go-ahead, the technicians will use your scan results to create a series of clear thermoplastic aligners which will gradually push your teeth into their desired positions. These aligners are almost invisible and therefore provide a very discreet treatment option in comparison to traditional orthodontic braces. The manufacturing process ensures that they are comfortable to wear and highly accurate, producing predictable results. They need to be worn for 22 hours a day for two weeks at a time until you move onto the next aligner in the series. This will continue until you reach your desired result, which can take from between 12 weeks up to a year depending on the extent of misalignment that you begin with.

The importance of visiting your dentist on a regular basis
It is important to visit our dentist St John’s Wood, here at Aura Dental, on a regular basis to ensure good oral health, a beautiful smile and better overall wellbeing. We recommend that you visit the dentist at least once every six months and more frequently if you suffer from dental issues.

Dental hygiene
Here at your dentist St John’s Wood we also recommend that you visit the hygienist on a regular basis, similarly once every six months, for a professional clean of your teeth to remove plaque and tartar, helping to promote better dental health and a more beautiful smile too. We offer hygienist appointments for children, which are very important, especially for children who are brushing their teeth by themselves. A significant percentage of young children suffer from dental caries and can therefore benefit from regular appointments with the hygienist. Your dentist St John’s Wood may recommend a periodontal deep clean and this is important for helping to prevent and treat gingivitis, periodontitis and tooth loss. We are also pleased to present airflow, a popular and modern hygiene treatment which helps break up stain molecules on your teeth for a beautiful white smile.
Visiting the dentist and hygienist in combination on a regular basis will help prevent dental issues and gum disease. If any problems present themselves they will be detected early on and therefore can be treated effectively and successfully before they cause further complications.
Here, at our practice, we are passionate about promoting good oral health for life, therefore we want you to bring your whole family, from the very young to the elderly, for regular check-ups, so that we can help you enjoy a happy healthy smile and to retain your natural teeth for as long as possible in life.

By maintaining a good, daily dental hygiene routine at home and visiting the dentist regularly, such issues and complications can be prevented.
Mouth cancer screening
At our practice we are also pleased to offer you oral cancer screening. We want you to book an appointment each year for a mouth cancer screen. We will carry out a full history of your oral health and a thorough examination of your teeth, gums and mouth to help detect any abnormalities which may be indicative of mouth cancer. Unfortunately many lifestyle choices such as smoking and drug abuse can also result in mouth cancer, therefore it is important to carry out regular screening so that any abnormalities can be detected from the outset and treated effectively and successfully.
Benefits of Invisalign St John’s Wood
Research has shown that a neatly aligned smile has social, emotional and physical benefits that are important for overall well-being. We are all attracted to a beautiful smile, so here at Aura Dental, we want you to feel proud of your smile when you look in the mirror and happily show it off to the rest of the world. A confident and beautiful smile can have a positive impact on your career, love life and social interactions. On the other hand, being unhappy with your smile can affect your self-confidence and discourage you from smiling openly and freely as you wish, affecting your mental health in the process. A neatly aligned, straight and symmetrical smile is easier to keep clean, so there will be less chance of bacteria building up on the surface of the teeth or in those areas that are hard to reach. This also significantly reduces the chance of issues such as tooth decay and tooth loss.

Why are dental implants so popular?
Dental implants are a popular form of tooth replacement therapy here at your dentist St John’s Wood and have become firmly established over the last few decades as the gold standard in replacing missing teeth. Although they have been around for many years now, dental implants have seen a rise in popularity only over the last two decades, and they continue to be the choice of treatment for missing teeth amongst dentists and patients alike.
If you have missing teeth, whether as a result of poor oral hygiene or injury, then speak to your dentist St John’s Wood to find out how dental implants here at Aura Dental could help you. If you have one missing tooth, multiple missing teeth or you need to replace all your teeth, speak to us about dental implants, and we can discuss the different options that are available for you.
How do dental implants work?
Dental implants work to replace the root of your missing tooth. They consist of small titanium screws that can be placed into the bone socket of your missing tooth to enable a natural process known as osseointegration to help embed the screw firmly in place. The screw then becomes fused to the bone, providing a solid foundation for the prosthetic of your choice. The process of the titanium screw becoming successfully embedded in your mouth can take several months and varies between patients depending on the overall well-being and the body’s ability to heal itself. Once your dentist is certain that successful osseointegration has occurred and the screw is firmly in place. you will need to visit your dentist again.
The next part of the procedure involves attaching an abutment or a connector post to the head of the screw, on which your dentist will fix the crown, bridge or denture depending on your dental requirements and personal choice.
Although the process can take up to 6 months or more to be completed, dental implants are a permanent solution to replacing your missing teeth. Tooth loss can have a negative impact on the rest of your teeth; it can affect your diet, your speech and the appearance of your smile. With the advice of your dentist and regular visits to us at Aura Dental, you can maintain better oral health and smile happily again.

Since then, Invisalign St John’s Wood has been used all over the world to correct millions of smiles and continues to be a popular choice amongst dentists and patients alike. As the name suggests, Invisalign St John’s Wood is an almost invisible method of straightening teeth; therefore, it is a highly attractive alternative to traditional methods of teeth straightening. In the past, teeth were usually straightened using traditional orthodontic metal braces, which can be fixed to the front of the teeth and joined with metal wires that pull the teeth into a better position. This is a highly effective method of teeth straightening; however, it can be very visible when worn, and so, most adults are reluctant to consider these braces and may feel uncomfortable or embarrassed by them.
How does Invisalign work?
Invisalign St John’s Wood uses thermoplastic clear aligners that can be taken out of your mouth and replaced as necessary so that they are not only discreet but also highly convenient. Treatment with Invisalign works using a series of aligners that are designed to gradually push your teeth to produce a straighter and more symmetrical smile by applying pressure on the teeth. Invisalign St John’s Wood is more suited to treating protruding front teeth or crooked teeth, Although, for more complicated issues, you may need to find out about other treatment options.
Invisalign St John’s Wood is an individually tailored treatment plan that can be put together for you by our dentist with the help of the Invisalign technicians. Photographs, x-rays and three-dimensional scans of your teeth can be used to create a visual simulation of your mouth to help you see what your teeth will look like following successful treatment. The scans and photographs can also help manufacture the aligners so that they are accurate and precise. This makes sure that they are comfortable to wear and that they accurately produce the predicted results. The number of aligners to be included in your series will depend on the extent of movement necessary to create the result; this varies from patient to patient.
Each aligner needs to be worn for approximately two weeks at a time, and this will be clearly instructed by our dentist depending on your dental needs.
You must remove the aligners before eating or cleaning your teeth; however, they should remain in your mouth for at least 22 hours a day to ensure a successful result. You can visit our dentist every six weeks to make sure that the process is coming along successfully and to ensure that your teeth remain healthy and strong throughout the process.

If you suffer from misaligned teeth, crookedness and wonky teeth, protruding teeth, gaps in your teeth and overcrowding then you need to speak to us here at Aura Dental and find out about Invisalign St John’s Wood for you.
Traditional orthodontic treatment consists of fixed metal appliances which are highly visible in your mouth, pulling your teeth into position over a period of time. On the other hand, Invisalign St John’s Wood, as the name suggests, is almost invisible and therefore a highly discreet and convenient method for addressing the aesthetic issues of your teeth. Invisalign St Johns Wood works by using a series of clear plastic aligners which can be taken out of your mouth and put back in as necessary so that they do not impact any other aspects of your life. By making sure that the aligners fit accurately and precisely, they work to create pressure around your teeth to help move them safely and gradually into a better suited position.
How does Invisalign work?
Here at Aura Dental our dentists have specialised training in the Invisalign procedure and will carry out a comprehensive examination of your teeth and gums to begin with to make sure that the treatment is suitable for you. This is because orthodontic treatment requires healthy teeth and gums to make sure that it is safe to move the position of your teeth without causing any dental issues or complications. When your dentist is sure that Invisalign is the correct choice of treatment for you then you will undergo a specialised iTero 3-dimensional scan which will help you and your dentist see exactly how Invisalign can change the appearance of your teeth.
Once you are happy with the visual, your dentist will be able to explain how long the treatment will take to achieve these results and once agreed they will be able to send the scans to the Invisalign laboratory where the technicians will create a series of aligners for you that will help you achieve the smile that you are hoping for. The number of aligners that you will need depends on the extent of misalignment to begin with and can vary from patient to patient. Once the aligners have been created you will be able to take them home and begin your treatment immediately. Each aligner is to be worn for 2 weeks at a time for at least 22 hours of the day only to be taken out during meal times and for a drink other than water. After every two or three aligners you can visit your dentist to make sure that the treatment process is coming along successfully and that the movement of your teeth is not causing any other dental issues. Your teeth may feel a bit sensitive however this is quite normal and will subside soon.
