Due to advances in dental technology there are now many different treatment methods available for those who are looking to straighten their teeth and improve the appearance of their smile. If you have not undergone orthodontic treatment when you were younger or if you are still unhappy about the appearance of your teeth and are looking for a straighter and more perfect smile then speak to ask at Neel Dentistry today. You can find out about the different types of orthodontic treatment or cosmetic treatment that we may be able to offer you, according to your individual requirements and personal preferences.

There are many different types of dental braces which are available for straightening your teeth and those involving metal wires and brackets are still one of the most effective forms of orthodontic treatment. These types of braces are fixed in your mouth and require several months, sometimes even a few years to help correct the positioning and alignment of your teeth, depending on the severity of misalignment to begin with. As these are fixed in your mouth and are conventionally highly visible, there is a reluctance amongst adults to consider metal dental braces. Over the last few decades, advances in technology have resulted in the establishment of invisible aligners for correcting the misalignment issues of teeth. Speak to us at Neel Dentistry to find out about Invisalign Welwyn, which is a highly popular form of invisible aligner that has been used to successfully correct the alignment of smiles all over the world.

What is Invisalign and how does it work?

First you will book an appointment to visit your dentist here at Neel Dentistry. Your dentist will carry out a full examination of your mouth to make sure that your teeth are clean and your gums are healthy. Once your dentist is happy that you have no underlying dental issues present then you can discuss what to expect from Invisalign Welwyn and why it could be the best treatment procedure for you.

Invisalign Welwyn is very popular because of its comfort and convenience and as the name suggests the aligners themselves are almost invisible. They are clear plastic aligners which are individually tailored using a specialised scan that is carried out of your mouth, so that each aligner can be manufactured to pressurise your teeth into moving approximately 0.25 mm per aligner. You wear each aligner for approximately 22 hours a day for 2 weeks and then you move on to the next aligner in the series. You do this until you have achieved the smile you are looking for. According to the severity of the misalignment of your teeth, treatment with Invisalign Welwyn can take from 6 months onwards. You can visit your dentist after every 3 or 4 aligners to make sure that the process is coming along successfully and to discuss any questions or  concerns which you may have. The dentist will also make sure that your teeth continue to remain clean and healthy during the treatment process and we hope that you will achieve the smile that you have been dreaming about very soon.
