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.
