You are never too old to straighten your teeth. Thanks to the continuous development in dental technology, the last few decades have seen the introduction of different types of braces to meet unique dental requirements and preferences. The modern generation is reluctant to straighten their teeth with traditional metal braces because although metal braces are the most effective method of orthodontic treatment, they are also the most visible. Most people prefer a discreet method of teeth straightening.

Discreet teeth straightening

Here at Welling Dental Studio, we are pleased to offer you Invisalign to straighten your teeth. Invisalign is a modern and highly discreet alternative to traditional orthodontic treatment using clear aligners to straighten teeth. Invisalign was first introduced in 1999, and within just over 20 years, it has helped transform more than 14 million smiles across the world. If you want to straighten your teeth, then you need to speak to our dentist Welling and find out whether or not Invisalign is suitable for you. You will be pleased to know that Invisalign can be used by patients of all ages with no upper age limit; the requirement is that you have healthy teeth and gums.

Effective teeth straightening

Contrary to popular belief, Invisalign is not simply for improving the aesthetic problems of your teeth; instead, you can improve a wide range of orthodontic problems, including bite disorders. Overbites, underbites and crossbites can all be addressed with Invisalign clear aligners. Crooked, protruding, overlapping or overcrowded teeth can also be improved with Invisalign. Our dentist will begin by carrying out a thorough examination of your teeth and gums and addressing any dental problems, for example, cavities, tooth decay or gum disease. If you visit our dentist Welling regularly, then your teeth and gums should be clean, healthy and free of decay and disease, and if this is the case, then an orthodontic treatment plan can be put together for you immediately. You will need to undergo a three-dimensional scan of your mouth, this involves using an intraoral scanner to take thousands of pictures of your teeth and gums to create a digital image. The image can then be altered to show how your mouth will look if you straighten your teeth with Invisalign.

Comfortable teeth straightening

If you are happy with what you see, then the scan results will be used to create a sequence of aligners for you. These aligners are manufactured using a medical grade thermoplastic, which is BPA-free, hypoallergenic and printed using 3D technology so that they are comfortable to wear and fit accurately in your mouth so that there is no rubbing, cuts sores or discomfort. The aligners are easy to put into your mouth and easy to remove as necessary; this is another advantage of Invisalign. Speak to our dentist Welling today and find out about the many advantages of Invisalign and how it can improve your dental health and the appearance of your smile. Our dentist at Welling Dental Studio will put together a tailored treatment plan for you.
