What are Invisalign Braces?

Invisalign braces are a removable, see-through orthodontic treatment, used as an alternative to traditional metal dental braces.

Being completely clear, these braces are far less noticeable than standard wire and bracket ones often worn by children and teenagers. Many people find them more comfortable, and they can be taken out at meal times.

These devices eliminate the effects on gums and supporting tissues other braces can have. Because Invisalign products are removed for cleaning and eating, accurate X-rays can be taken, and there is less chance of tooth decay. Plus, because you can take them out, you can eat what you like with none of the restrictions of standard braces.

Typically, patients have a new set of aligners in their treatment programme every couple of weeks. This means less force is applied than with traditional appliances, which are only adjusted every six weeks. The treatment programme takes on average 15 months for an adult.

If you’re considering Invisalign aligners, and are looking for an orthodontist in London, check out what Hampstead Orthodontist Practice has to offer before you do anything else.

Established since 1994, we combine years of professional treatment with the latest technology, techniques and approaches to treatment. To learn more about what we offer, give us a call or use our website to request a brochure or ask us a question.

Get the Hollywood Smile you’ve Always Wanted

Many of us dream of having that pearly white Hollywood smile, yes it isn’t always that easy to achieve. Whitening is just the beginning and yet veneers can seem a bit over the top – and what about if your teeth are less than perfect? Crooked, crowded teeth or those that are too far apart will do nothing for your Hollywood look, yet the thought of having braces as an adult can be too much to bear. That’s why invisible braces could be the perfect solution.

Invisible braces will straighten your teeth without needing to have a mouth full of metal, being the perfect choice for people that don’t want to regress to their childhood years. Invisalign braces, for example, are removable and nearly invisible so no-one need know you’re getting your teeth straightened, or there’s the option of Incognito braces which are worn behind the teeth, again offering a highly aesthetic yet practical solution. Of course, these are just two of the many options available and if you really want to make the most of invisible braces in London you need to head to the experts, and that’s where we come in.

We understand that having perfectly straight teeth can be the first step towards that must-have Hollywood smile, which is why we offer a range of options to suit the needs of all clients. From the convenience of Invisalign to the aesthetic appeal of Incognito we’ll be able to accommodate, so get in touch to discuss your requirements and you could soon have the orthodontic treatment you need for that perfect Hollywood smile.

Regain Your Confidence with Invisalign Braces

Both orthodontists and dentists use Invisalign as a more cosmetic-friendly alternative to traditional mental dental braces. Clear and removable, this orthodontic treatment is ideal for adults who wish to conceal the fact that they are currently undergoing a procedure to correct the alignment of their teeth.

There are numerous advantages to using Invisalign braces over other alternatives, including:

-    These aligners are not susceptible to some of the side effects associated with fixed metal braces, including tooth decay and the discomfort that comes with regular adjustments.

-    There are no food restrictions with Invisalign, as they can be easily and conveniently removed during drinking, eating and teeth-cleaning.

-    Clients using Invisalign are able to view computerised plans of their “smile design” and get an idea of how their teeth will look after treatment.

-    Invisalign are also quicker treatments overall for some, when compared with traditional orthodontics

Here at The Hampstead Orthodontic Practice, we are dedicated to giving our clients access to only the most innovate and proven-successful straightening teeth treatments, all delivered by professionals in the orthodontics field.

As an Invisalign-accredited practice, we are able to offer these invisible braces in London to our patients, which is  the ideal alternative to traditional, fixed metal braces. These are generally associated with children and adolescents undergoing orthodontic treatment.

Rediscover Your Smile with an Invisible Brace

You’re never too old to encounter problems that require your teeth to be straightened, but unfortunately there is a stigma attached to adult braces that some people simply cannot overcome – preferring to struggle on rather than undergo an effective orthodontic treatment that may leave them self-conscious about their appearance for a period of time.

The good news is that Invisalign accredited orthodontists, such as us here at the Hampstead Orthodontic Practice, can now offer Invisalign invisible braces as an alternative to standard adult braces. Teeth that are crowded, too far apart or have shifted since the removal of a conventional brace can be treated discreetly and effectively with Invisalign.

Studies have shown that Invisalign can be considered more hygienic than an adult brace as it can be easily removed at any time during treatment, allowing patients to eat and drink whatever and whenever they like. Invisalign is also free of metal or any kind of sharp edges, making it much more comfortable to wear and eliminating the risk of an allergic reaction.

Over half a million people have chosen to use Invisalign when straightening their teeth, recognising the advantages it holds over conventional dental braces for adults. It’s recommended that Invisalign braces are kept in for at least 22 hours, with each aligner being used for a two week period as they move the teeth millimetre by millimetre until the desired result is reached. The average treatment time is fifteen months.
