Invisalign in Weybridge is one of the most popular alignment treatments that is available on the market. So what is Invisalign in Weybridge? Nowadays people prefer to have more discrete ways of aligning and straightening their teeth as opposed to conventional metal brackets that get attached onto the surface of the teeth. Invisalign in Weybridge is essentially an invisible form of aligning teeth.
How does Invisalign work?
If you want to have Invisalign treatment to straighten your teeth then contact your local dentist for an initial consultation. At the initial consultation the dentist will discuss the treatment and undertake a thorough examination of your mouth to check the extent of alignment and treatment required to achieve maximum results. They will do an x-ray and also inform you about the length of the treatment that you will require. Treatment plans are usually between 12 and 24 months and your treatment plan will depend on the extent of alignment you require.
At that point the dentist will also take imprints of your teeth and these will be sent off to the lab for your Invisalign trays to be created. Once the trays are back with your dentist you will be contacted for your fitting appointment. There your dentist will fit the trays and make sure they are comfortable. You will then be given your instructions on how to look after your trays and maintain your teeth until your next appointment.
Next steps and aftercare
You will be informed that you need to wear the trays for about 18 hours a day. Ensure that you take them out when you need to eat in order to avoid breaking the trays. You can keep them in when you are drinking water. It is important that you maintain good oral hygiene at all times so along with brushing your teeth you need to brush and clean the Invisalign trays. This is to make sure that there is no build up of bacteria which can lead to more issues.
If you wear your Invisalign trays as you are prescribed then you will start seeing your teeth moving into place from as early as six weeks. Therefore make sure you follow your treatment plan as prescribed and you will receive optimal results.
