Convenient And Comfortable Teeth Straightening in Burton

Invisalign – stress free, discreet braces for adults and teens.

It is probably true that most people associate teeth straightening with traditional metal braces. These do work well, but bring with them a number of disadvantages, the most obvious of these being the fact that they are very visible. In addition to this, some patients find them to be uncomfortable to wear, which can be a particular problem as some braces may need to be worn for a year or more to fully achieve their aims.

Many modern cosmetic dental braces, based on a traditional design, have addressed some of these problems by using finer, tooth coloured materials for their construction. However, these types do still tend to use the wires and brackets of old style metal braces.

Invisalign

At Alexandra Dental Care, we are pleased to advise our Ashby and Burton patients that we can now straighten their teeth using a modern system known as Invisalign. This system avoids the use of wires and brackets altogether. In addition to the discreet benefits of these braces, most patients find them to be very comfortable and convenient to wear, even for long periods of time.

Nearly Invisible

Invisalign orthodontics consist of a series of transparent trays that sit directly over the teeth. Each of these trays works by moving the teeth a little towards the correct final position, before being replaced by the next tray. There is no need to see your dentist each time a tray needs to be replaced; this can be done easily at home. We will need to see you from time to time during the course of treatment though, to ensure that your treatment is working correctly.

From an aesthetic viewpoint, the medical grade transparent material used by Invisalign is virtually invisible and will not readily be noticed as you go about your normal daily life.

Convenient

Another benefit of Invisalign is unique to this particular method. Unlike traditional braces which have to be worn at all times, Invisalign braces are designed to be removed when eating meals and when cleaning your teeth. This makes eating out much easier, without worrying about getting food stuck in your braces and also helps you to keep your teeth clean and in good condition for the duration of your treatment.

The trays are produced following scans and impressions here at Alexandra Dental Care. We also have fascinating technology which allows ours Ashby and Burton patients to see how their teeth will look during the process and the result following treatment.

If you have crooked or uneven teeth and would like to see if you are a suitable candidate for Invisalign braces, please call Alexandra Dental Care today on 01283 216347.
