The availability of Invisalign in Bromley has meant that the orthodontics market is no longer a one-horse race. Patients can resolve their less-than-perfect smile issues without the commonplace challenges associated with traditional orthodontic devices: food restrictions, difficulties in keeping teeth and gums clean, discomfort and braces becoming damaged or breaking.

What makes Invisalign in Bromley the definitive orthodontic treatment

Addressing a range of tooth issues

A contributing factor to the increasing popularity of Invisalign in Bromley is the fact that this orthodontic solution can be used to treat a variety of orthodontic issues such as gaps between teeth, overcrowding or misaligned jaws. Custom-made plastic (made from medical grade technologically-advanced material) aligner trays work to move teeth over the duration of treatment into the desired symmetrically-aligned position.

Food restrictions are avoided

Many patients may be put off orthodontic treatment due to the restrictions on food consumption imposed by traditional braces. This is no longer the case as Invisalign trays are designed to be easily removable by the patient when appropriate – dental practitioners recommend that the aligner trays only be removed to eat and drink as well as when brushing and flossing. This massive plus point opens the way for patients to continue to consume the foods they have always enjoyed.

Spend less time in the dentist’s chair

An Invisalign treatment plan can help keep you out of the dentist’s chair in two important ways. Firstly, as the aligner trays are designed to reposition the teeth without manual adjustments being made by a dental practitioner, patients avoid the need for numerous dental appointments.

Secondly, by straightening the teeth, patients will find them easier to brush and floss. With improved dental hygiene, there is less chance of developing dental issues such as cavities, decayed teeth and poor gum health – all of which will require more dental visits and unwanted added expense to treat. This doesn’t mean that patients should overlook their regular professional dental check-ups as this is the only sure way to keep dental health current and enjoy long-lasting results from orthodontic treatment.

No metal wires and brackets mean aligner trays are more discreet

Whether a teenager or adult, patients want to avoid the stigma attached to wearing conventional braces. Made from clear plastic material, these aligner trays are hard to notice when placed on teeth – making them an ideal option for those who don’t want to announce their orthodontic treatment to all and sundry.

We cannot overemphasize the fact that in order for the treatment to work effectively and produce results, they should be worn as instructed by the supervising dental practitioner – most often we require patients to wear the trays for at least 20 to 22 hours a day.

Rethink your approach to teeth straightening with modern orthodontic options available at Bromley Dental Practice. During a consultation with one of our highly experienced dental practitioners, we will talk you through your suitability for Invisalign as well as the benefits patients on this orthodontic plan enjoy.

Invisalign in Bromley is a state of the art orthodontic treatment that has many people secretly undergoing treatment before your eyes without you even knowing it and you too can enjoy the many benefits that this discrete treatment has to offer. But what comes after orthodontics? What happens when your teeth are straight? Is it enough or is there an extra mile you can go to get that perfect smile? At Bromley Dental Practice we understand that some people may have worn down and chipped teeth as well as teeth that may need to be straightened. Some people may have yellowed or stained teeth that are keeping them from enjoying the full potential of their new straight smile which is why we offer cosmetic treatment post orthodontics in order to help you gain the full advantage of a perfect smile.

About Invisalign

This is an orthodontic treatment that uses removable clear aligners to straighten your teeth by applying slight pressure that pushes them into place. The treatment itself is just about invisible and can be controlled from the comfort of your own home. Changing these aligners weekly does not need to be overseen by a dentist and because they are removable you can enjoy all the foods you always have and ensure that your teeth are properly cleaned each day; clear aligners do not affect your lifestyle.

Post orthodontic treatments

Correcting crooked teeth with Invisalign in Bromley is a great start to getting that perfect smile, but a perfect smile is more than just straight teeth. People often want them to be bright and white as well and to have any imperfections covered up.

Whitening treatments – A whitening treatment is a perfect way to finish off the orthodontic treatment. Once your aligners have done their work and before you get anything else done to your teeth we advise that you whiten them. Not only to finish off that lovely Hollywood smile but also to set the standard of the colour of any composite bonding or veneers you may need.

Composite bonding – this helps correct the shape of the tooth should you have small chips or uneven wear. Through composite bonding we are able to reconstruct your teeth to fix minor imperfections without the need for veneers. A composite bonding material will be matched to the shade of your teeth and is later hardened with a special light to make it strong and long lasting.

Veneers – Veneers are porcelain coverings that can hide a multitude of issues with your teeth from large chips to unsightly stains. Veneers can be custom created to cover a tooth or multiple teeth that need to be hidden for whatever reason. Once you have finished a treatment of Invisalign in Bromley we can hide any other imperfections with this treatment. White fillings – If you have any old amalgam fillings in your teeth, chances are they are pretty visible, especially when you laugh. We can remove those old metal fillings and replace them with tooth coloured ones to improve the look of your teeth.

Invisalign in Bromley has helped thousands of patients get the beautiful smile they’ve always dreamed of, it’s taken gapped teeth and pushed them together, realigned crooked and overcrowded smiles and fixed malocclusions time and again. However this is not all that Bromley Dental practice has to offer, a full smile makeover can begin with this orthodontic treatment but we can take it so much further than that.

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign in Bromley is a revolutionary orthodontic treatment that uses custom clear aligners to gently push the teeth into place over time. Depending on each person’s initial problems the process can take as little 7 -14 weeks or up to 9 months. Each person is different so each treatment is customised.

How does it work?

After determining that you are a good candidate for a smile makeover that starts with Invisalign in Bromley, we will perform a painless 3D imaging scan of your teeth. This scan relays information to a computer which then creates a 3D digital model of your mouth and can create a simulation for how your teeth will move over time which lets you see the results before treatment even begins.

If you are happy with what we can expect your teeth to look like then you give us the go-ahead and we send that information over to a lab which creates your custom clear aligners. Once we have received your sets of aligners we will teach you how to wear them when to take them out and for how long as well as how regularly you need to change them. After that, the treatment is in your own hands.

The beauty of these aligners is that they are invisible and no one will see you are even wearing anything. They are also removable which makes eating your favourite foods really easy and cleaning your teeth as normal as always.

After invisalign

Whitening – once you have the straight smile you always wanted it’s time to whiten and brighten, our inhouse whitening treatment will make your teeth a few shades whiter in just one session. We will expose all your teeth with a device that holds your lips open and then paint a special bleach onto each one, we then expose the bleached teeth to a special light with causes them to lighten.

Bonding – this step is needed if you have any chips in your teeth, we can apply composite bonding material to your chipped tooth and then sculpt it into the right shape in order to make your tooth whole again. Once you are satisfied with the look and have ensured we chose the right coloured material to match your new teeth, we will harden the substance with a special light making your chipped teeth brand new again.

Retainer – part of the Invisalign treatment is maintenance; your teeth are always going to want to go back to their old positions so you will be provided with a retainer to wear at night in order to keep your teeth in their new lovely straight position.

While there are a number of options out there for orthodontic care and cosmetic treatments that help the appearance of your smile, if you are looking for a safe and non-invasive solution to close the gaps between your teeth then Invisalign in Bromley may be able to help you. We at Bromley Dental practice know how self-conscious people can be about their teeth and gaps can make you look older and open you up to infection, which is why an invisible, non-surgical solution is a better option to unsightly traditional braces.

Diastema or gaps in the teeth

This condition refers to gaps in the teeth and can form anywhere in the mouth but is most often seen in the front teeth, particularly between the top two front teeth. It is difficult to pinpoint a cause but often it is due to someone’s teeth being too small for their jaw bone, so spaces grow between them. This is normally a hereditary issue, with the same gaps seen in parents as well as their children. It can also be caused by an overgrowth of gum tissue between the teeth, in which case a laser can be used to first trim away this tissue before you undertake orthodontic treatment.

In the past, braces were used to pull the teeth into the correct position so that they fit snugly next to one another, but this takes a long time and doesn’t look very appealing, especially for adults. With the invention of Invisalign in Bromley, we are able to gently push your teeth into position over a shorter period of time than it takes with traditional braces and achieves the same result.

Invisalign

This treatment can take less than 4 months to close small gaps in your teeth, for more complicated cases of crowding and misalignment it may take longer, depending on the individual. One thing is guaranteed, it is almost completely invisible. No one will see that you have an aligner in your mouth as it is completely clear and clips perfectly onto your teeth. But how is this achieved if each person is different?

The secret lies in the innovative 3D scanning technology that analyses your teeth and creates a 3D model of them on a computer, which means no gooey molds. The computer then creates a simulation of how your teeth are expected to move over time and is able to 3D print the aligners to custom fit you at each point in your treatment time in order to shift your teeth in exactly the right way to close the gap. Invisalign in Bromley can transform your smile and close the gaps which are making you feel self-conscious in order to give you the healthy teeth you’ve been wanting. Clear aligners are becoming the preferred choice for orthodontics the world over as they cost less and take less time than traditional braces.
