Orthodontic
treatment can improve the appearance of natural teeth
when they have become crooked or misaligned.
Orthodontics is not restricted to the correction of
children's teeth and is becoming increasingly popular
with adults as braces become less visible and uncomfortable.
The 'railway tracks' reminiscent of childhood are no
longer a pre-requisite for a straight, beautiful smile.
At our Hampstead dental practice we use a system called
Invisalign, which is an almost invisible orthodontic
appliance. A computer is used to plot the movement of
the teeth and fabricate a clear 'Caligner' to reposition
them. This aligner is changed every few weeks as your
teeth slowly begin to move into position.

| Invisalign
can help you get the great smile you've always wanted
because it's... |
 |
Invisible, so
no one can tell you're straightening your teeth.
So now you can smile more during treatment as
well as after.
Removable,
so you can eat and drink what you want while in
treatment, plus brushing and flossing are no problem.
Comfortable,
because it has no metal to cause mouth abrasions
during treatment. And no metal and wires usually
means you spend less time in your doctor's office
getting adjustments. |
|
Invisalign®
also allows you to view your own virtual treatment plan
when you start, so you can see how your straight teeth
will look when your treatment is complete. Invisalign
is the invisible way to straighten teeth using a series
of custom-made, nearly undetectable aligners. And it's
been proven effective in both clinical research and
in practices nationwide. |

How
Does Invisalign® Work?
-
You
wear each set of aligners for about 2 weeks, removing
them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss.
-
As
you replace each aligner with the next in the series,
your teeth will move - little by little, week by
week - until they have straightened to the final
position your orthodontist or dentist has prescribed.
-
You'll
visit your orthodontist or dentist about once every
6 weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing
as planned.
-
Total
treatment time averages 9-15 months and the average
number of aligners worn during treatment is between
18 and 30, but both will vary from case to case.
