You could get Invisalign treatment in Berkshire
If you have been searching for a convenient way to straighten your teeth that fits around your lifestyle then we can help you at Old Windsor. Having straight teeth could not only improve your confidence but your oral hygiene too, as crooked teeth can sometimes result in plaque building up in areas that are difficult to reach, which can potentially cause tooth decay.
Having Invisalign in Berkshire could straighten your smile in as little as twelve months, depending on your individual circumstances and how much your teeth need to move. If you think that you could benefit from this teeth-straightening treatment then the first step you need to take is booking a consultation appointment with one of our dental practitioners. They will be able to fully explain the treatment to you and answer any questions that you have.
Have you been searching for a removable appliance?
A majority of braces are fixed appliances that attach to the surfaces of your teeth. Some people are put off getting treatment, because they do not like the idea of having an appliance permanently fixed in their mouth for a prolonged period of time. Getting Invisalign in Berkshire resolves this issue for you, as it provides you with an appliance that is completely removable.
Whilst the aligners are completely removable you need to make sure that you are still wearing them for at least twenty-two hours of the day. They need to be taken out for eating and it is recommended that you brush your teeth each time after having something to eat before putting your aligners back in, as this will help to avoid a build-up of plaque.
Aligners custom-made especially for you
If you have been wondering how we know what shape your aligners need to be if you get Invisalign in Berkshire the answer is simple. Using a 3D scanner your dental practitioner will capture 3D images of your teeth. This clever piece of technology will then take this image and produce a series of further images showing how your teeth will move at each stage of the treatment, as well as an image of the final result. These images will be sent off and your custom-made aligners will be created.
The aligners are completely clear and will be almost invisible when you are wearing them. Once they have arrived at our practice we will arrange for you to come in for an appointment where your dental practitioner will be able to ensure that they fit correctly and that you know how to both remove and take care of them.
After your treatment
Once your treatment is complete your dentist will provide you with a retainer to wear. This will look similar to your aligners, but after a few weeks of constant wear you will only be required to wear it at night. Some patients will need to wear their retainers at night for several months, whilst other people will need to wear them for years. It is important that you wear your retainer properly otherwise you risk your teeth returning to their original positions and you could need to have straightening treatment again.
