Invisalign in St John’s Wood

Invisalign is a highly popular choice of orthodontic treatment here at our dentist St. John’s Wood. Invisalign is modern and innovative, and uses removable aligners to straighten your teeth comfortably and conveniently, without drawing further attention to your mouth. As the name suggests Invisalign is an almost invisible treatment method. It uses clear thermoplastic aligners that are worn in your mouth to apply pressure to your teeth and move them into a neater formation. Invisalign uses digital technology to manufacture the aligners with accuracy and precision, so that they produce excellent aesthetic results helping you achieve a smile which is highly attractive, promoting better dental health at the same time.

Inman aligner

Another popular choice at our dentist St. John’s Wood is the Inman aligner. The Inman aligner is a discreet orthodontic treatment for correcting misalignment issues of the front teeth. It is ideal for the treatment of front teeth which are protruding, overlapping or overcrowded. It is a removable appliance which helps correct misalignment problems with your teeth quickly and effectively. As it only focuses on your front teeth, treatment times with Inman aligners can be significantly shorter than with other orthodontic braces. Treatment times range from 4 weeks to 14 weeks and it works using a coiled spring to squeeze your teeth into a neater formation. The British Dental Association launched the Inman aligner in the UK in 2008, therefore it is relatively new, so speak to our dentist St. John’s Wood to find out more.

Traditional orthodontics

Traditional orthodontic braces are fixed braces which consist of brackets that are attached to the front surfaces of your teeth and connected using metal wires which then work by pulling your teeth into a neater formation. Traditional orthodontic treatment is recommended for those with complicated orthodontic issues and although this may take several months to help straighten your teeth it is highly effective with lasting results. Speak to us at our practice today and book an appointment with our dentist to find out which type of dental brace is the most suitable for correcting the misalignment issues of your teeth and let us help you achieve a healthier and happier smile very soon.
