When you need braces

Either you have finally found the motivation and desire to correct your misaligned teeth and bite, in order to have that confident and beautiful smile that you deserve, or you have been informed by your dentist that it is important at this stage in your life to wear a corrective aligner. Whatever your personal situation, you have begun a journey that many before you have undertaken and one that is full of positive growth, change and sometimes trying moments. We at our practice are very happy to support anyone ready to embark on this procedure.

Some people are excited to bring about this chapter in their lives. Having Braces in St. John’s Wood means that after several months they will have a healthier and more aesthetically pleasing smile that can improve their confidence among numerous other health benefits.

Others may be apprehensive, disappointed or anxious about their impending journey. Fear of the unknown is completely natural and braces in St. John’s Wood unfortunately still hold a stigma that is entirely unwarranted in this modern age.

There are many options available that were not even thought of in previous decades. Invisible, removable aligners are now commonly used for mild to moderate misalignments and the speed with which all braces in St. John’s Wood are working is much faster than that of decades ago.

How is this possible?

Thanks to continual and progressive advancements in research and technology, dentists and researchers have been able to develop new and improved methods to streamline the teeth straightening process for those who simply need cosmetic alignments made to their teeth.

For those with more complex cases, traditional methods are still proving to be the most suitable method, however these styles too have experienced a makeover and are now available in many different materials and are more efficient.

One teeth straightening treatment has progressed in popularity so much that several sub-designs have been created to suit popular niches that are frequently presented in dental practices. We are of course talking about Invisalign.

What is Invisalign?

These teeth straightening aligners are both clear and removable, which has targeted some of the biggest concerns that both teenagers and adults have when they are to begin their teeth straightening journey.

Most of us feel that we will be judged on our appearance whilst straightening our teeth, subjecting ourselves to potential workplace discrimination or bullying from our peers.

By wearing a clear, plastic tray that effectively works by pushing teeth into their correct position over time, rather than pulling them straight like traditional aligners do, nobody needs to know that you are straightening your teeth at all.

It is important that you follow the guidelines laid out to you by your dentist at Aura Dental strictly if you are wishing to see results. This means that even though you are given the freedom to remove your aligners at any time, if you do not wear them for a minimum of 20 hours every day, then they may not work as well as expected.

This freedom lets you eat the foods you love without having to worry about bits getting stuck in wires or having to follow a lengthy cleaning procedure. You are also free to remove your aligners for a photograph or for a sporting event, meaning that you are still in control of your life and how you want to live it.
