You are Not too Old for Orthodontics!

Most people believe that orthodontic treatment is specifically for children, which is not true at all. Many adults hesitate to try any form of orthodontic treatment, as they do not like to wear braces that may appear obvious to others.

Why orthodontics is important?

Your smile is one of the first thing people may notice and it positively impacts people around you. Maybe you always had cooked teeth growing up, but were not able to get orthodontics. You may even be experiencing crooked teeth or jaw pains now. Why not explore orthodontics? Go through the sections below to find out more about invisalign.

What is invisalign?

Orthodontics for adults is in demand for various reasons. Some people want to improve their smiles or to correct their bites. Some want to improve their overall health to boost their self-esteem. Invisalign straightens teeth using a series of removable and nearly invisible aligners that are custom made for your teeth. As the aligners are removable, you can continue to eat your favourite food and brush and floss normally to keep your teeth and gums healthy.

How does invisalign work?

People, who use invisalign, do not need to worry about dietary restrictions. Irritating wires and brackets or any permanent orthodontic appliance can cause discomfort. As aligners in invisalign are completely removable.

Patients need to change the aligners every two weeks, so that the teeth can gradually move into the right place. Dental care practitioners advise you to wear trays for about 20-22 hours a day to get the best results.

Invisalign is better, cheaper and less noticeable:

Braces have evolved over the years. As mentioned before, wearing braces has become less painful takes less time. Custom-fitted invisalign does not require you to put any restriction on your diet.

Misaligned teeth may eventually lead to gum diseases or periodontal disease. Unlike other forms of orthodontic appliances, invisalign makes it easy to maintain optimal oral health. Instead of worrying about cleaning and flossing around braces or restricting you food habit, you can easily clean your aligners and teeth separately to ensure a better oral health. Invisalign treatment in London at Smile Dentist could give you your healthy and bright smile back.
