At Wickham Dental, we are here to help the whole family have healthy and happy smiles. We use the latest techniques, technology and training to ensure that all of our treatments are delivered with comfort and ease for all the patients we treat. We are keen to offer treatments that can also improve wellbeing, such as smile makeovers which improve the appearance of your smile. With a vast array of discreet treatments available for realigning your smile, we are the go-to dental practice for creating beautiful smiles. One of our popular treatments is Invisalign and our dentist in Wickham could recommend this if you have mild to moderate alignment issues such as gapped teeth, crowded teeth, overbite, underbite or crossbite.
How does Invisailgn work?
Invisalign is a system that consists of plastic aligners being worn over your teeth. They are clear, so the aligners themselves are not visible. This means that they are highly discreet and afford patients the freedom to wear them whenever they choose, wherever they are.
When the aligners are being worn, they press against the teeth and, over time, they move them into the targeted position. This could take as little as 6 to 18 months and is just one of our discreet and time-efficient treatment options.
The other benefits
By choosing Invisalign, you will not only have discretion, but you will also have convenience. Invisalign’s aligners may be removed for up to 2 hours a day, which means that you can take a break from them when you need to. It also means that you don’t have to wear them at mealtimes and this is a great bonus for patients as it removes the need to clean the aligners of masticated food after eating, and it also means that you can clean your teeth without having anything in your mouth, so you can be sure to do a proper job! You should also have time to take them out for special occasions or playing sports, for example. The choice and flexibility of approach is all down to you and your preferences. You will be able to wear your aligners anywhere you go and you can have the confidence to do so with people not realising you are wearing them.
The aligners should not be uncomfortable to wear. This is because we use iTero technology to take a digital scan while getting accurate measurements for your smile to ensure that your aligners will sit snugly along the gumline.
