So, you’ve decided you want to get your teeth realigned? Perhaps you have issues such as crossbite, under or overbites, crowded or gapped teeth and you’ve been dreaming about looking in the mirror and seeing a whole new smile? Whatever your alignment issues, here at Bromley Dental Practice, we have a range of treatments to address them and get you a beautiful smile. For mild to moderate conditions, we frequently recommend Invisalign in Bromley. To help you access your treatment, we have convenient opening hours, including late nights, lunch times and Saturday mornings. It’s just one of the ways that we like to show our patients that we care about making it possible for you to get the treatment you deserve to receive and to help you get a beautiful smile.

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a treatment that consists of aligners. We place these over your teeth and they push them into the correct position in as little as 6 to 18 months, on average. You will need to change your aligners every week and we will give you enough aligners to do this for 6 weeks, before you need to come and see us for a checkup. At the checkup, we will then give you the next 6 weeks’ worth of aligners.

Why should I consider Invisalign?

Invisalign in Bromley offers many benefits for patients. Firstly, when the aligners are worn over your teeth, they should hardly be visible, because they are made of plastic, which is transparent. This could give you more confidence to continue with your life as you get your teeth aligned, wearing them for 22 hours a day. Yes, you read that right! For 2 hours of the day, you can also remove your aligners; this includes at mealtimes, so you won’t need to adapt what you eat to avoid damaging your aligners. You can also take them out to ensure that you clean your teeth properly, and you can also remove them for other things like playing sports, juggling, or skipping – we love happiness! – the choice is yours!

A further reason to choose Invisalign is that they can be custom made for your mouth, which means that they should be comfortable for you to wear. Using iTero technology, we will digitally scan your mouth to get the measurements for the aligners to be made, and we will also produce a 3D animation of how your teeth will look after the Invisalign treatment is completed. It can be a really motivating part of your Invisalign journey, seeing how great your smile will be before you’ve even got started!

Will Invisalign hurt?

You shouldn’t feel any pain with Invisalign and, although you may need to get used to having aligners in your mouth, you should quickly get used to them. You may have experienced jaw pain or chewing difficulties as a result of your misaligned teeth. As your teeth become realigned, you will hopefully start to feel this discomfort diminish too. The same could also be said for speech difficulties, if you have had issues with this.
