If you are like most Brits, you’re not so keen to have everyone know your private business. We don’t all like to go on about our ailments or have complete strangers ask questions about our dental treatment. If that sounds like you, you may have been avoiding treatment to get your teeth straightened because you didn’t want to be on the receiving end of everyone’s curiosity.
Well, you don’t have to be if you choose Invisalign in Weybridge from Weybridge Orthodontics.
Invisalign in Weybridge is great for mild to moderate alignment issues, which could well be you if you managed to get through childhood without your dentist insisting on braces on the NHS, which is only available for complex and severe misalignment issues.
Now you see them…
Invisalign uses clear plastic trays that go over the teeth. The plastic is so thin that once the aligners are over the teeth, they are very hard to see. This is a big selling point, especially if you need to look professional and grown-up for your job.
Eat what you like
The other big selling point with Invisalign in Weybridge is the fact that you take the aligners out when you want to eat or drink. There are no brackets and wires to get food stuck in so you can continue eating whatever you like. All you have to do is make sure you brush your teeth before you put the aligners back in, and that you wear them for at least 20 hours a day.
How Invisalign works
You get a series of aligners and wear them one after the other, each for about 7-10 days. During that time, carefully placed pressure points inside the aligners press on your teeth to get them to move. Depending on what your alignment issues are, it takes about a year to complete treatment.
Afterwards, you will need to wear a retainer for some time while your teeth settle into their new positions.
