Invisalign Sidcup, Kent
Are you looking to correct your smile?
If you’re tempted by the idea of straighter teeth, but put off by the prospect of wearing fixed braces, be sure to consider Invisalign in Sidcup, Kent.
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign® is a clinically proven way to straighten teeth without wires and brackets.
You’ll simply need to wear a series of clear aligners that are made from a patented thermoplastic called SmartTrack. These apply gentle pressure to gradually move your teeth into a more desirable position, helping you to achieve a straighter smile.
One of the greatest advantages of Invisalign aligners is that, if you wish to remove them, you can.
How does Invisalign treatment work?
The first step is to book a consultation with our orthodontists who specialise in Invisalign in Sidcup.
During this appointment, we will examine your smile and find out more about your needs before advising whether Invisalign braces are a viable option for you.
If they are, we will take 3D scans of your teeth to create a set of aligners that are sculpted to fit around your teeth and trimmed to your gum line. Once you receive your custom-made clear aligners, we will make sure they fit properly and that you know what to expect throughout your treatment. We’ll also be happy to answer any questions you may have.
Each aligner is to be worn for 1-2 weeks before it’s changed for the next one in the series. To achieve optimal results, you’ll need to wear them for 20-22 hours a day – only removing them to eat, drink, brush or floss your teeth – and attend checkups every 4 weeks so our orthodontist in Kent can check the progress of your Invisalign journey.
The number of removable aligners required can vary from patient to patient, depending on the severity of your dental concern. But, on average, Invisalign treatment will take 6 months to correct your smile.
When your teeth reach the desired alignment, our orthodontist will provide you with a retainer that must be worn at night to prevent your newly straightened teeth from migrating to their previous positions.
