There’s no hiding here
In some circumstances, it’s good to hide away behind a wall, but when it comes to straightening your teeth, if you are like most people, the last thing you want is a wall of metal obscuring your pearly whites while you get them straightened. Whether you are teen keen to make a good impression, or an adult whose career relies on looking well groomed and mature, the last thing you need is a set of brackets and wires that make you look like the nerdy kid at the front of the class. What you need is Invisalign in St John’s Wood.
Here at Aura Dental, we are an accredited provider of Invisalign in St John’s Wood. When you come to us for a consultation, we will be able to tell you whether Invisalign is the right treatment for straightening your teeth, and, if you have a mild to moderate misalignment issue, chances are that Invisalign will be just right for you. If you have a more severe alignment issue, it may be possible to start you off on traditional metal braces and then move to Invisalign later on during your treatment.
Why so invisible?
Invisalign in St John’s Wood is made is from very thin, 0.3mm, transparent plastic that has been 3D printed into mouth guard-like aligners that fit on over each arch of your teeth as snugly as a wet suit. Once the aligners are hugging your teeth, they become pretty much unnoticeable. It will take your best friend or family member to notice you have something extra on your teeth. To all intents and purposes, your teeth will appear to be becoming straighter all by themselves with no help.
The Invisalign process
You will receive a series of aligners that go over your teeth, one after the other. You wear the first one for around 7-10 days. At first, it will feel like it doesn’t really fit properly. This is the in-built pressure points in action, pressing on your teeth to get them to move. When the pressure wears off, it’s time for the next aligner. Treatment takes a year on average.
