If you are thinking about getting your teeth straightened, you are probably also thinking about all the time you\u2019re going to have to spend picking food out of your braces and fending off intrusive questions. Well, worry no more! Teeth straightening can be an entirely private affair with standard cleaning routines when you choose Invisalign in St John\u2019s Wood.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sounds too good to be true, but it\u2019s not. At Aura Dental<\/strong>, we offer Invisalign in St John\u2019s Wood because it takes much of the hassle out of wearing braces as well as the embarrassment.<\/p>\n

\"InvisalignClear aligners<\/strong><\/p>\n

Unlike traditional bracket and wire braces, which are bonded to the fronts of the teeth, Invisalign in St John\u2019s Wood<\/a> uses clear plastic aligners, which look like mouth guards. They have specific pressure spots that press the teeth into movement.<\/p>\n

The process<\/strong><\/p>\n

When you choose Invisalign, we start with a consultation, during which our accredited dentist makes pinpoint accurate measurements of your mouth and teeth using a hand-held scanner. This translates into a picture of your teeth on the screen, and a computer programme will show you how your teeth can be moved into alignment. So, you get to see how your teeth will look before you even begin treatment. It\u2019s a great inspirational tool!<\/p>\n

Your aligners<\/strong><\/p>\n

Your aligners are manufactured in the USA using 3D printing. You will get a series of aligners; how many generally depends on the extent of your problems. You start with the first aligner and work your way through the series, wearing each one until the pressure wears off, in about one to two weeks. The aligners are only 0.3 millimetres thick and when they are in place, they cannot be seen by the casual observer.<\/p>\n

Eating and cleaning<\/strong><\/p>\n

The great thing about Invisalign is that you can take them out for eating and drinking anything other than plain water. In fact, you must, so that they don\u2019t discolour. You can eat whatever you like, but you must brush your teeth before putting the aligner back in. You must wear your aligners for 20\u201322 hours a day if you are to stay on schedule with your treatment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
