Want a straighter smile? Invisalign may be the answer

Are you interested in straightening your teeth without having to wear braces for years? Invisalign may be the right option for you. Rather than using brackets and wires like traditional braces, Invisalign consists of a series of clear, smooth, removable aligners, which gently and gradually straighten your teeth. The aligners are created specifically for your teeth and they fit snugly over your teeth and gums.

invisalign-londonInvisalign is a very versatile teeth straightening system that can successfully correct a wide range of dental problems including misaligned, spaced and overcrowded teeth as well as bite problems. London-based Invisalign dentist, Dr Graham Tinkler, will help you decide whether this is the right treatment for you.

How does it work?

During your treatment with Dr Graham Tinkler in London, Invisalign aligners must be worn for at least 22 hours per day and can be removed only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. As your dentist replaces each aligner with the next one in the series every two weeks, your teeth will gradually move to their prescribed position.

You’ll visit Dr Graham Tinkler once every six weeks to ensure your treatment is moving ahead as planned. Total treatment time rarely exceeds 15 months, yet this varies from patient to patient. If you are thinking about trying Invisalign in London, Dr Graham Tinkler can help you determine if it is the right treatment for you. Generally, Invisalign is ideal for older teenagers and adults. It is not suitable for children and young teenagers because their teeth are still growing. Furthermore, Invisalign cannot fix severely crooked or crowded teeth, where more invasive dental procedures are required.

Benefits of Invisalign

Not only are Invisalign aligners comfortable to wear, they can also be removed so you can eat and drink as well as brush and floss your teeth normally. This will improve your oral hygiene along with your smile as you can continue brush and floss your teeth and gums effortlessly, without worrying about wires and brackets in the way.
