Orthodontics is a type of dentistry that covers the alignment of teeth and how straight your smile is – whether specific teeth stick out, overlap with, or are blocked by other teeth. Of course, the cause of misalignment, also known as malocclusion, varies from client to client.

But one thing that connects all cases is the impact that a so-called wonky smile can have on your confidence. More often than not, clients who come to us seeking orthodontic treatment are looking for an aesthetic fix as well as a structural one.

So, how does Invisalign restore the confidence of an authentic smile?

The Advantages of Invisalign

Invisalign works through the rollout of aligners, crafted from a clear plastic material which is bespoke to each client’s jawline. As treatment progresses, the teeth shift and move into the position of the next aligner, as the course of aligners seeks to straighten the teeth gradually but consistently.

The most obvious advantage lies in the results. Invisalign works, provided the client is committed to the process, and can result in a straighter smile.

What’s more, Invisalign retainers in Essex were designed to counter all the challenges of more traditional orthodontic methods. These aligners are clear and virtually invisible when in place, are easy to remove for eating and cleaning, and are much more comfortable than fixed braces. Not to mention, the technology surrounding Invisalign means that dental practitioners can map results and offer virtual care to clients and patients.

Who is Invisalign For and How Does it Compare to Alternative Orthodontics?

Invisalign is a form of orthodontic treatment that has become steadily more popular, and more clients recognise its benefits. While not necessarily suitable for more complex or severe cases of malocclusion, Invisalign offers an effective and accessible way to straighten your teeth – with an approach which doesn’t impede on your routine or even change your reflection.

As such, Invisalign is suitable for most clients – with the main eligibility criteria being a commitment to the process (i.e., wearing the aligners for at least 22 hours of the day), good oral health and hygiene, and the ability to attend regular check-ups for progress assessments and the provision of the next aligner.

Is Invisalign the Best Option for You?

With all that in mind then, is Invisalign treatment in Essex the right option for you?

During an initial consultation, one of our dental practitioners can assess your teeth and jawline, and provide an accurate quote based on your teeth and the length of time that you will need to wear the Invisalign retainers for.

From there, you can ask any questions you have, and we can address the process as a whole, mapping out your potential results and how your smile will look upon completion of the treatment.
