Contrary to popular belief, teeth straightening is not only an option for children and teenagers. As we age, our teeth sometimes move, even if we had teeth straightening treatment before. Regardless of the reason, teeth straightening is now more affordable than ever thanks to modern techniques and materials.

Adults who are self-conscious about metal braces, can choose from many discreet teeth straightening methods with effective results. At Leamington Spa Dental Practice in Leamington Spa, we pride ourselves on providing Invisalign, an innovative teeth straightening method to suit your unique dental needs.

Tell me more about Invisalign

Invisalign consists of a series of clear, removable, plastic aligners, which are custom-made with the aid of 3D technology. This way your dentist can predict the movement of your teeth and monitor your progress throughout the treatment. While in treatment, you will go through a series of aligners, which will need to be changed every two weeks. Treatment time varies from patients to patient, but it rarely exceeds 12 months in total.

Invisalign can fix crooked teeth and most bite problems, as long as they are not too complicated. More complex dental problems may require treatment with braces. Your dentist will help you decide whether Invisalign is a good treatment option for you. Invisalign is not suitable for young children, but teenagers can take advantage of Invisalign Teen, a special type of Invisalign that is available for teenagers who have most of their permanent teeth.

Benefits of Invisalign

Invisalign has many advantages compared to regular braces, the most important of which is invisibility. Invisalign braces are transparent, therefore, it is almost impossible for someone to tell whether you are undergoing dental treatment. Invisalign aligners are completely clear and fit perfectly over your teeth, making them the ultimate option for self-conscious adults. On the other hand, Invisalign aligners are removable, so you can continue enjoying your favourite foods and keep brushing your teeth normally. However, be careful to wear the aligners at least 22 hours per day, otherwise, you may compromise your treatment.
