Invisalign
Invisalign treatment is truly an invisible form of teeth straightening and is one of the most popular modern forms of orthodontic treatment. We are therefore delighted to be able to offer this unique treatment to patients here at Nottingham Smiles.
The Invisalign treatment is comprised of a set of clear invisible aligners that are periodically used during the treatment process to align teeth in a gentle and effective manner. Invisalign is one of the most discreet brace treatments you can choose from and is therefore a popular treatment with teenagers and adults alike. If you don't like the idea of having to wear a metal brace then Invisalign is a teeth straightening treatment that we are happy to discuss with you.
How it works
Invisalign aligners are custom-made to suit your individual tooth structure, and this will involve the taking of impressions during your initial appointment. The aligners will then need to be changed every two weeks (though this may differ for some) in order to move teeth over time.
During your treatment you will be able to see how your treatment is developing thanks to the ability to remove the aligners when you wish, though it is recommended that you wear the aligners for 22 hours a day. This level of removability makes things such as eating and cleaning your teeth simple.
Wide appeal
Invisalign treatment not only appeals to adults but it also is a very appealing option for teenagers who wish to straighten their teeth and are embarrassed to wear conventional metal braces. Having found great success in the US, Invisalign treatment is now available for UK patients who wish to make the most of this innovative teeth straightening option.
Treatment time is very quick and can take anywhere from 6 months up to a year, depending on the condition of your teeth. Patients who suffer with crowding, overbites, crossbites and widely spaced teeth can benefit from the treatment, though an initial assessment to see if you are suitable for treatment will need to be done.
