So long as you maintain good oral health, you will mostly likely be suitable for treatment. This is also an opportunity to ask any questions you may have.<\/p>\n<p>Invisalign consists of a series of clear plastic aligners that are custom-made to fit snugly over your teeth. These are replaced every two weeks and require a minimum wear of 22 hours per day, as they gently nudge the teeth into their correct position.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why Invisalign?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Going for Invisalign in St John\u2019s Wood benefits both the aesthetic look and the function of the teeth.<\/p>\n<p>The main benefit of Invisalign is that you can undergo treatment without having to wear unsightly metal braces. This means you can look forward to straight teeth without sacrificing many months feeling insecure in braces.<\/p>\n<p>The aligners are also removable, which allows you to go on eating your favourite foods and reduces the risk of plaque build-up, which is more likely to be seen in people wearing braces, where bits of food can get stuck in the wire of the brace. You can also remove them to go on brushing and flossing the teeth as you would normally.<\/p>\n<p>Invisalign is a good option for those who are constantly on the go, as they require fewer check-ups than braces, freeing up your calendar and allowing you to travel more.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Benefit from straight teeth<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Besides having a great smile, and feeling more like yourself in social situations, straight teeth benefit your overall oral health.<\/p>\n<p>Straight teeth improve your bite, allowing you to digest food properly. They can also fix facial, jaw and neck pain caused by misaligned teeth. They are easier to clean and floss, allowing you to keep your teeth happy and healthy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you are an adult who feels self-conscious about the appearance of your misaligned teeth, yet equally self-conscious about the thought of wearing metal braces, Invisalign in St John\u2019s Wood could be the option for you.
