[Weybridge, 14 October 2017] - Contrary to common belief, teeth straightening is for both children and adults. However, most adults are reluctant to visit the dentist because they think that the only option for teeth straightening is unattractive metal braces.

However, dental technology has come a long way and patients can improve the cosmetic appearance of their smile without anyone knowing with Invisalign at Weybridge Orthodontics.

Invisalign at Weybridge Orthodontics is an innovative treatment that helps patients align their teeth with virtually invisible straightening trays. Patients who opt for Invisalign at Weybridge Orthodontics, won’t need to worry about low self-esteem or visual imperfections in their smile.

How does Invisalign work?

In general, Invisalign at Weybridge Orthodontics can be used to treat the same tooth alignment issues that are normally treated with braces. A dentist at Weybridge Orthodontics may recommend Invisalign for crowded, crooked, gapped or spaced teeth or certain problems associated with the bite.

A dentist at Weybridge Orthodontics will examine each patient’s teeth carefully and determine if they are eligible for Invisalign. Patients who choose to move forward with the treatment at Weybridge Orthodontics, will have scans of their teeth taken and the dentist will create a unique plan to shift their. The dentist will send this plan to Invisalign for them to make each patient’s custom aligners.

Once the aligners are made, patients are required to wear them for approximately two weeks and then move on to the next set in the series. Over time, the aligners will gradually move the teeth to their desired locations. Patients will need to visit their dentist at Weybridge Orthodontics every few weeks for checks-ups.

Invisalign patients at Weybridge Orthodontics are required to wear the aligners for 20 to 22 hours per day for optimal results. The only times that they can be removed is while eating, when drinking something other than water, and when brushing or flossing. Unlike conventional braces that hinder the consumption of certain foods and snacks, Invisalign aligners allow patients to eat their favourite foods without worrying that they will compromise their treatment.

Moreover, Invisalign aligners at Weybridge Orthodontics are very comfortable to wear and require fewer visits to the dentist for adjustments.
