If you’ve been worrying about the appearance of your smile because you have misaligned teeth, you may think there’s nothing you can do to escape the dreaded fixed metal braces. While fixed metal braces can be a solution for complex alignment issues, there is an alternative for mild to moderate alignment cases that don’t require fixed braces. Invisalign In Maidstone offers a convenient and comfortable way to realign your teeth in a reasonable amount of time.

What is it?

Maidstone Invisalign consists of clear plastic aligners. They are custom made to fit your mouth thanks to iTero technology which involves a dentist using a 3D scan of your mouth to get the measurements required for making the aligners to fit snugly on your gum line. From the scans, an animation can also be created to show you what your teeth will look like after treatment has been completed. You will be provided with sets of aligners to wear and change between on a weekly basis. The aligners apply a small amount of pressure to your teeth to move them into the desired position. After you have achieved the results you are looking for, you will then be given retainers to ensure the teeth stay put!

What are the benefits of clear plastic aligners?

The clue is in the name, but if you’re not in the mood for party games then it’s as simple as this: the clear plastic aligners, when worn, are virtually invisible. Most people will not notice that you are wearing anything in your mouth at all when you are in fact busy realigning your teeth. Another benefit is that they can be removed when you are eating and drinking, which saves on the messy clean up operation afterwards! They can also be removed for up to 2 hours a day and this can mean that you have time to play sports or go on a date without having to wear them – the choice is yours!

Other benefits of removable aligners is that you can brush and floss as normal. This is a really big bonus as you won’t have to worry about not being able to clean your teeth properly and this should also mean that you won’t have to visit the dentist as much! The reality is that with clear plastic aligners, you also won’t have as much opportunity to break them as they are virtually impossible to break, unlike the wires and brackets on fixed braces. This means that you shouldn’t need to visit the dentist for emergency appointments and should only need to go for a checkup and to be provided with new sets of aligners every six weeks or so.

What should you do to get them?

If you are interested in finding out more about aligners, the best thing to do is to book in for a consultation with your dentist. They will have an initial consultation with you and will perform an examination of your mouth and they may also take x-rays to determine what your alignment issues are. They will then be able to tell you if this is the right treatment plan for you, or they may be able to offer an alternative solution if this isn’t for you. Ultimately though, it’s time to make the call and get the smile you want to smile!
