How can people get straight teeth?

There are a number of options available to you if you are looking to have orthodontic work done to your teeth. A lot of people opt for Invisalign in Welwyn. You may have heard of Invisalign in Welwyn as it is one of the most popular and common methods of aligning teeth. It is also very often used among adults who want a more discreet method of straightening their teeth.

So you may be asking, what exactly is Invisalign? Invisalign in Welwyn uses practically invisible plastic trays designed to straighten teeth. The reason why people often prefer an Invisalign aligner is because it is so subtle and therefore if you are one of those people that is self-conscious or lacks self-confidence then Invisalign is perfect for you, as no one will be able to see that you are wearing a teeth straightening device.

How does Invisalign work?

Invisalign consists of a set of trays that will be made to measure, to fit your teeth. Your dentist will discuss the treatment length with you, but this usually varies from 6 months to 18 months. This will depend on the degree of alignment required and your personal preference. Your dentist will want to ensure that you are happy and satisfied with the final results.

The trays will need to be worn for a certain number of hours a day to ensure maximum performance and to make certain that you are making the best use of your braces. You will be able to drink while wearing the trays, but if you wish to eat food it is advised that they are taken out as biting down and chewing will damage the trays. It is important that you wear the trays as prescribed by your dentist otherwise you will not see the results that you are hoping for and may end up being disappointed.

How quickly will I see results?

This is a common question that we get asked by patients. You should be able to start seeing some improvements in the alignment of your teeth after the first few weeks of your treatment programme. But it is essential that you continue as you are going, to ensure that you achieve  optimal results.
