Over the last few decades we have seen the introduction and establishment of many different types of orthodontic braces and dental appliances for teeth straightening. More people than ever before have straightened their teeth over the last 30 years and continue to do so. Adults have taken up teeth straightening thanks to the introduction of all these different types of braces. Here at Weybridge Orthodontics we also offer different types of braces to meet your individual dental requirements and your personal preferences. We are pleased to be able to offer you Invisalign Weybridge. Invisalign Weybridge is one of the most popular types of braces across the world which was first introduced in 1999 and has already treated more than 14 million smiles. It is suitable for patients of all ages and it is able to treat a range of orthodontic issues although it is better suited for mild or moderate issues. 
Invisalign Weybridge is a clear aligner system. There are many different clear aligner systems available on the market, however Invisalign is the most tried and tested across the world and we are confident that with Invisalign we can address your dental needs. We will put together an individually tailored treatment plan for you. Where necessary we will put together a combined treatment plan, however for most patients with mild or moderate orthodontic needs Invisalign as a stand-alone treatment should be sufficient.
Differences between Invisalign and traditional braces
The main difference between Invisalign and traditional orthodontic treatment is that Invisalign is highly discreet and as the name suggests the aligners are almost invisible when they are worn in your mouth. This is why it is such a popular choice. Most people wish for a beautiful, neatly aligned smile, but they are reluctant to speak to their dentist and find out more about teeth straightening because they are deterred by the idea of traditional braces which consist of brackets and wires in the mouth. Since the introduction of Invisalign you can straighten your teeth happily and confidently with clear aligners.
Another key difference between Invisalign and traditional braces is that Invisalign can straighten your teeth in a much shorter time. The average treatment time with Invisalign is between 6 and 18 months depending on how crooked or wonky your teeth are to begin with whereas the average treatment time with traditional fixed braces is between 18 months and 3 years. With Invisalign you can improve the appearance of your smile and promote your dental health very soon.
Another key advantage is Invisalign aligners are removable. You can take them out of your mouth and replace them as necessary. This means they do not impose any restrictions. You can eat and drink your favourite foods. You can enjoy your daily activities without having to worry about damaging your aligners. The aligners need to be taken out of your mouth before you eat and you need to brush your teeth thoroughly before you put them back in your mouth. This helps keep your teeth clean and healthy throughout the procedure. Speak to us at Weybridge Orthodontics today and find out more about straightening your teeth with Invisalign.
