Invisalign is the newest treatment on the market that claims to be an alternative to traditional braces. The treatment involves using successive sets of aligners to gently move your teeth into a pre-determined alignment. It is a very discrete method of orthodontics, many people cannot even tell you are wearing your aligners most of the time. Invisalign is perfect for anyone who is worried about their crooked or misaligned teeth but who does not want traditional brackets and wires across their teeth for years.

Your local clinic in South East London will first take X-rays and 3D photographs in order to determine the current alignment of your teeth, and how they should look following treatment. The best thing about Invisalign is that the result is exactly pre-determined by you and your dentist together.

Once your aligners have been produced, you will be required to change them every two weeks, this allows for the slight changes in alignment that will be occurring during treatment. It is this attention to detail that is responsible for the outstanding results of Invisalign treatment.

Your aligners must be removed and cleaned twice a day and should also be removed when you wish to eat. You will be required to attend regular check-ups with the dentist in charge of your treatment just in order to keep on top of your progress and to address any problems you may be having.

Invisalign is one of those wonderful new aligners from the United States that has dispelled the myths and destroyed the images of traditional brace wearing- on all levels. Available now in London’s SE1, Invisailgn has so many advantages over fixed braces and indeed other aligners too. Firstly you have to be checked up for your suitability for the treatment. The dentist will first take a series of digital images to manufacture a number of aligners from. With digital imaging, it is possible to make projected images of how your teeth will look at various stages of the treatment. The aligners come in the form of a transparent gum-shields that are changed at regular intervals to keep the teeth on the move. But being transparent, Invisalign gives an incredible discretion to the wearer as it is virtually invisible in the mouth. Unlike the complications of that fixed braces present when it comes to cleaning, this aligner can be taken out of the mouth and the teeth cleaned normally. It’s other advantage is that the treatment works a lot faster at correcting your teeth than other options on the market. If Invisalign has one downside, it’s the price, as it is more expensive than other treatments, but this is one of those cases where money shouldn’t be an issue, as the luxury and advantages of wearing this device vastly outweighs the costs involved.

If you got to the stage in life where you need your teeth straightened but are afraid of the implications that come with wearing a brace, then you may well like to take a look at America’s latest export- Invisalign. It fly’s in the face of against any conception you may have of having to wear a brace and the benefits far outweigh the cost of the treatment. Once you’ve been measured up and you’re eligible for the course, you are fitted with the first of a series of aligners that get to work on your teeth straight away. But because of its design, it’s removable, meaning that throughout your treatment, you can take it out for eating, brushing your teeth and for the odd ‘intimate’ social occasion- now that’s got to be good for your oral health and your love-life! But this aligner gets even better. It’s made from a completely transparent material which means it’s almost impossible to see when it sits in the mouth. Now any teenager will tell you the amount of ‘ribbing’ you are going to avoid with one of those in your mouth; not that you’ll have it there for long, for this little device take a third of the time to correct your teeth than more conventional, ‘ugly’, fixed braces. OK, so the whole program starts from around £1800, more than other treatments, but there are so many advantages attached to this aligner and you don’t have to go far to find it; Invisalign is available now and it’s available here, in south east London.

When it comes to dentistry, it’s incredible to see how modern dental procedures take into account, not only faster techniques in their treatment but also the psychological affects on the patient whilst the treatment is in progress. The perfect example of this is use of braces or aligners to remedy orthodontic problems in the mouth such as crooked and buck teeth and Invisalign treatment in London’s S.E.1 epitomises the example. It’s a fairly new course of treatment that radically revolutionises the time and look taken by more traditional teeth straightening treatments. When you choose Invisalign, you choose the latest technology. When you get your first consultation, you will be shown images of a projected movement to your teeth thanks to the use of 3-D imaging and then fitted with your first aligner. This will be changed monthly to maintain pressure on the teeth. But Invisalign has other advantages over more traditional braces. Firstly it’s transparent and difficult to detect in the mouth- heaven if you’re a teenager trying to avoid teasing in class. Secondly, it can be removed for eating, oral hygiene and socialising, and thirdly, Invisalign treatment can be completed in a third of the time, that other fixed aligners take. It’s not the cheapest way to get your teeth fixed, but, psychologically, one of the best.

It`s almost invisible as it isn`t fixed to the teeth like a conventional brace, says a South East London dentist. They come in the form of a sporting shield that has very cleverly hidden pressure points and pulleys built into the inside, this part sits in the inner part of the mouth and isn`t visible to the eye. They are a unique device and the program involved is quite scientific. Starting with digital pictures which are scanned into a computer program, the program then produces all the calculations needed to make the series of braces involved. These are all made beforehand and contained within them are all workings that will eventually straighten the teeth. It looks like a clear sporting gum shield, and is good for straightening the back as well as the front teeth. They are changed every two weeks and a course can run from 4-8 months typically, the patient and dentist can keep an eye on the progress by watching the 3D CGI film which the computer also produces in the process. The patient can even see the end result before the process even starts. One good advantage is the mobility of the brace, you can take it out for up to 4 hours a day, which is handy for when you`re eating, and cleaning your teeth. It is extremely popular amongst adults who didn’t want the cumbersome NHS brace system when they were younger, but then suffered in later life with misaligned teeth and a crooked smile which can be embarrassing at the best of times.

Having straighter teeth is often very high on people’s lists of things they would change about their appearance. Fortunately, with orthodontic braces it is possible to straighten teeth artificially to improve the way they look in the mouth and the effect they have on the profile. However, traditional straightening methods are often very unpopular because of the way the braces look and feel in the mouth. Traditional train-track braces have a reputation for being not very attractive, uncomfortable and needing a long time for successful treatment but there are now other options.

Invisalign is a new system of teeth straightening that uses clear plastic braces to straighten the teeth faster and with less discomfort. Also, because they are made of clear plastic, the aesthetic impact of the braces is significantly reduced. Invisalign treatments are on average six months shorter than with more traditional braces. They work by using a series of specially designed retainers that fit over the teeth, making small adjustments. Gradually, the teeth are moved into a straighter position.

There have been clear braces in the past but they have often been fairly ineffectual but for the first time Invisalign braces offer genuine results without the need for wires and brackets ruining the appearance of the teeth. Ask your South East London dentist for more information about Invisalign braces at your next appointment. They will be able to give you a clearer idea about suitability and cost of treatment. There are also other treatments available such as the Inman aligner and Clearstep that straighten the teeth fast and with minimal aesthetic impact. A new age for orthodontic treatment has finally arrived.

An Invisalign Brace is so called because it is almost invisible to the eye, says a London SE1 dentist. The brace is a newly designed all in one device, that encapsulates all the basic principles of a brace in the traditional manner of how they work. The unique thing is that they are changed every two weeks and are made according to calculations given by a computer program, very space age indeed. Digital pictures are used to set the program in motion, they are scanned in and used to make a 3D CGI film, computer generated image, the film shows the brace maker how to set the springs and pulley devices that are built into the device. It is a self contained piece of technology and is set into a gum shield to hold it all together. This one is designed to straighten both back and front teeth, unlike the Inman Aligner which is only good for front teeth. The other great innovation is that they are removable for cleaning your teeth and eating. This makes it especially good for anyone who needs to lose the brace for face to face meetings. The progress is followed each fortnight by the patient and the dentist via the 3D film which takes them through the whole process and lets them also see the end result. New bone grows behind the teeth to hold them in their new position, this is done by agitating the jaw line which produces new bone and deposits it behind the teeth as they move position.

Invisalign tooth aligners are rapidly becoming one of the most popular orthodontic treatments available in the UK and the reason is fairly clear. Invisalign offer invisible tooth straightening using one-millimetre thick clear plastic retainers which are almost impossible to see when in the mouth. This neatly sidesteps one of the major bugbears of brace wearers, namely that the braces ruin the cosmetic appearance of their teeth for up to three years.

But this is not the only benefit of the Invisalign treatment. They are also not fixed braces which means they can be removed at any time, which comes in very handy for teeth cleaning and at meal times. The braces need to be worn for between twenty and twenty-two hours a day which gives a large window for eating, playing sport and even social occasions where the braces do not have to be in your mouth. Of course, the more you wear them the more effective they will be.

Each brace is worn for about two weeks before being replaced by another with a minor adjustment. By using twenty or so braces over the course of treatment the Invisalign braces gradually move teeth into position. Treatment lasts on average about eighteen months, which is about six months shorter than most fixed-metal braces, but of course there is no reason for anybody to know you are wearing a brace during that time.

Invisalign braces are available from London SE1 dentists and the cost varies depending on the nature of treatment required by each patient. If you have uneven or crooked teeth but have always been out of by the sight of metal braces then ask your dentist about the invisible Invisalign braces and straighten your teeth in secret.

An Invisalign is a brace that uses non-traditional methods to adjust misaligned teeth says a South East London dentist. The method is a brilliant combination of orthodontic technology and cosmetic ingenuity, as it is a brace that is almost invisible, effective and easy to wear. The other great thing about Invisalign is that the brace can be easily taken out and replaced for eating, drinking and cleaning of the teeth. For the busy executive it is a God send as it allows them to be brace free for cosmetic purposes during a business lunch, ask any busy executive or salesperson and they will confirm this. The effectiveness of the treatment is also quite remarkable in that the discomfort is minimised, you will only need to have fortnightly visits to the dentist to get the next stage brace. The consultation starts with a digital picture being created on a screen in front of you, the dental technician will take a series of digital photos and make an album from it to show you your misaligned teeth. Then they will create a picture using a special program to show you a series of pictures that will effectively take you through a time line, that time line will slowly show how the braces will work on the teeth to re-align them into a beautiful smile. The end result is a perfect smile, a smile that nature intended for you. You will see a virtual reality creation of the smile that will be uniquely yours, and in a lot less time than the traditional methods of old. As for the expense of this treatment, well, the good news is that it isn’t too expensive compared to other sorts of cosmetic surgery, and you won’t have heavy bruises, pain, discomfort or stitches. The time line is a lot less that the traditional methods, and this in itself helps to keep costs down.

There is no doubt that fixed metal braces can be effective but for many patients, and in particular older patients, the idea of having to wear messy and uncomfortable metal braces for two years is unsurprisingly not that appealing. Many older patients who missed out on orthodontic straightening when they were younger have often felt ignored by the world of cosmetic dentistry in terms of viable straightening treatments. That was until the advent of Invisalign clear braces.

The Invisalign system was first introduced in the US at the beginning of the new millennium and has slowly become more and more available in this country. Media exposure and positive testimonials on makeover shows have heightened the profile of the Invisalign system making it one of the most popular new ways to straighten teeth. But what is it exactly that makes the Invisalign system so special? Well, most obviously, is the fact that it is nearly invisible to others unless standing extremely close to the patient, and even then you would probably have to know that they were there to even notice.

The system works by using a series of computer designed retainer-type braces, each making a small adjustment to the position of the teeth and treatment takes on average four to six months less that most fixed metal braces. It’s easy to see why Invisalign braces are becoming so popular with patients all over the UK. For patients unwilling to resort to metal braces, the Invisalign system seems to offer the perfect solution. The braces are discreet, treatment is shorter and they are also completely removable. Effective treatment requires the braces to be in the mouth on average 22 hours a day. That leaves two hours free to eat and clean teeth limiting the effect braces have on your lifestyle.
