In recent years there has been a big move towards taking more time to think about the steps  we need to make to gain an improved standard of health. This has led to a greater understanding of all aspects of health, including oral health, within the population of the UK. Many people are re-examining options they may have been offered in their teen years that they opted not to take, such as braces for their teeth.

Braces of the past were considered ugly and unsightly by many, leading to some who may have gained benefits from them backing away from treatment. Many felt that having these wire and metal braces on their teeth would lead to them being embarrassed.

Neel Dentistry wants to leave this type of thinking where it belongs, in the past, by introducing a new treatment service referred to as Invisalign Welwyn to the area.

How is this treatment different?

The key to Invisalign Welwyn is a new system of treatment that is designed with the comfort of the wearer in mind. The first issue that this new system addresses is that of appearance, these new aligners are made in such a way that they are virtually invisible to the eyes of others when in place. This means that the wearer can carry on smiling without fear of any comments or questions from others about their treatment.

The aligners are also designed to be easily removed by the wearer, this allows them to eat and drink in a way that feels normal to them.  Also, should the wearer feel any discomfort, they can simply remove the aligner for a short space of time.

The aligners are customised to fit the wearer, allowing the treatment to be completely targeted to meet their needs. Every two weeks the aligners are changed to a fresh one, each is slightly different and will slowly reposition the wearer’s teeth into the desired placement. Over a defined period, normally twelve to eighteen months, the aligners are worn to achieve the perfect alignment for the teeth.

Aligners can be for adults as well as children

The misconception that has prevented treatment in the past is that braces were often only thought of as being available for teenage children, this is not the case. More and more dentists across the UK are now offering some form of alignment treatment aimed at adults, leading to more people than ever before over the age of twenty-five gaining the treatment they feel they need.

Enjoy the benefits, improve your oral health

If you suffer from misaligned or crooked teeth you may find you are more prone to other oral health issues such as plaque build-up and gum disease, this is due to the teeth being harder to clean correctly when misaligned.  Receiving alignment treatment may be a simple way to address these issues, giving you a higher standard of oral hygiene.

If you are someone who suffers from a weakened bite, making it more difficult for you to eat and chew food, you may also want to consider if alignment treatment is the solution you are looking for.
