There are many myths\nsurrounding dentistry as a whole; root canals cause more damage than\ngood, fillings will inevitably fall out and, once you are over the\nage of 7, there is no point in trying to undertake orthodontic\ntreatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, we\nwill focus on the last of these myths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"braces\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Surprisingly, thanks\nto modern advances in dental technology and training, more adults\nthan ever are able to undertake orthodontic treatments, so age is no\nlonger a factor in getting that straighter, more symmetrical smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Designed solely to correct cosmetic\nissues with your teeth, these options work at an accelerated rate\nwhen compared to traditional orthodontic versions, meaning you can\nget that straighter smile sooner. Brilliant!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, what is the process involved in undertaking these braces in St John\u2019s Wood<\/a>? Is it any different from the traditional metal alternatives? Read on to learn more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Initial consultation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you come to\nAura Dental<\/strong> for a straighter smile as an adult, our team will\noffer you an initial consultation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At this meeting, our\ndentists will assess your suitability for Invisalign cosmetic braces\nin St John\u2019s Wood<\/strong> and will answer any questions you may have.\nIf deemed suitable, we will take a 3-D scan of your mouth, to allow\nfor a more accurate prediction of how your teeth will need to move\nduring the treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

When our team\nreceives your custom-made Invisalign aligner, we will arrange a\nmeeting with you for the initial fitting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At this stage, we\nwill discuss with you the predicted length of time that you will need\nto wear each aligner for, and will instruct you on how to keep the\naligners in good shape, alongside how to clean them correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may notice that\nas soon as you place the aligner over your teeth, it feels slightly\ntight; this is normal and part of the realignment process. If your\naligners are too loose, then our team may need to make adjustments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wearing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our dentists can\nadvise you on how long you will need to wear Invisalign for each day\nto obtain the desired results, but as a general rule, it is likely\nthat you will need to wear them for up to 22 hours each day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will also need\nto take them out to eat food and brush your teeth. Before putting\nthem back in, we recommend that you brush your teeth, to avoid\npressing plaque against your enamel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aftercare<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once your teeth are\nstraightened, our team will usually recommend that you wear a\nretainer for a set time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is to prevent\nyour teeth from moving back into their original position. It is\nlikely that you will need to wear a retainer for less time than the\noriginal aligner, so, don\u2019t worry! You will be retainer free in no\ntime!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
