<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nAnd as an adult, you want to avoid that!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But orthodontic technology has come a long way\nover the last 20 years and today, the majority of dental surgeries are able to\noffer their patients either clear or invisible braces or aligners. As the names\nsuggest, these are visually discrete and can provide you with the same movement\nthat you would have once only been able to achieve with a metal brace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
At\nAura Dental<\/strong>, we have not fallen\nbehind the times and can offer our suitable patients clear braces, while also\nbeing able to offer the world-famous Invisalign in St\nJohns Wood<\/a>. As the name suggests, this aligner is the closest aligner on\nthe planet to being visually invisible and is custom-fitted to your mouth.\nRemovable, comfortable and easy to clean, it is no wonder why it is so popular!<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, you may have heard some myths about Invisalign in St Johns Wood<\/strong> which make you question its effectiveness. Here,\nour team breaks down some of the most popular myths about this aligner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Myth- It’s only suited for adults<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Fact- Invisalign in St Johns Wood<\/strong>\nis used primarily on adult patients. However, this is due to adult patients\nbeing more reliable per se, and not taking the aligner out for hours on end,\nwhich can delay treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We do offer this brace to teenagers and there is\neven a set of these aligners being trialled in children, so one day, your child\nmay be able to wear this brace too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Myth-It can\u2019t treat bite issues<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Fact- Invisible braces have become exceedingly\npowerful over the last few years and now, the majority of them can treat\noverbites, underbites and indeed crossbites. <\/p>\n\n\n\n However, if there is a misalignment with your\njaws, you will probably need a metal brace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Myth-It takes longer than traditional braces<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Fact- Many people remember that one friend in\nschool who wore metal braces for seemingly years on end. And it stands to\nreason that as invisible aligners provide less force when they are realigning\nteeth, that the treatment will take longer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n But, as this aligner is best at treating mild to\nmoderate cases of misalignment, the average treatment time is between 3-6\nmonths. So, very short!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Myth- It\u2019s painless<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Fact- We truly wish that all orthodontic\ntreatments were comfortable but the fact is that when it comes to moving teeth,\nthere is going to be discomfort. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When wearing an invisible brace, we recommend\nusing over the counter pain relief, such as anti-inflammatories to keep\ndiscomfort levels low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Myth It\u2019s more expensive than traditional braces<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Fact- It can be cheaper but this will depend on\nhow long you need to wear it for. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Which is one reason why we advise patients to\nkeep aligners in their mouth\u2019s for 22 hours per day; to keep costs down!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" When you are looking to straighten your smile as an adult, you may think that the only course of treatment open to you is going to involve traditional metal or orthodontic braces.
