Orthodontics & Invisalign in London for straight teeth

Considered to be a specialized branch in dentistry, orthodontics is used for treating crooked or misaligned teeth. This usually involves the wearing of retainers or braces for a long time. The treatment works by gradually straightening the teeth using wires, metal brackets and springs. The best results can be achieved if the treatment is started early, particularly when the teeth are still developing. This is perhaps the reason why orthodontic treatments are recommended for children. Today, almost all dentists offer these orthodontic treatments.

A consultation with your orthodontist is required to determine the condition of your teeth and the appropriate treatment. Your dentist can decide to use fixed or removable braces depending on the result of the assessment. Fixed braces can only be removed once the entire treatment period is over while removable braces are worn all the time except when brushing teeth and eating.

INVISALIGN ORTHODONTICS

There are cosmetic dentists who offer the Invisalign treatment. This treatment involves the use of several transparent custom-fitted aligner sets, which gradually moves teeth into the desired position, over a period of time. Aside being invisible, these aligners can be taken off when eating or cleaning teeth. For individuals who are self-conscious about wearing traditional metal braces, Invisalign is the perfect alternative. Another discrete method of treating misaligned teeth is by lingual braces. These braces are usually attached to your teeth’s inner surface. To determine which among these methods is perfect you, consult your dentist.
