When you decide to get your teeth straightened, you are making a big commitment. Teeth straightening takes a long time, there is no quick way to get the teeth to change position inside the jawbone. So, if you are going to get your teeth straightened, you want to make sure it’s in a way that you can cope with for the next chunk of your life. One way many of our patients here at Weybridge Orthodontics are choosing is with Invisalign in Weybridge.
Why so popular?
In Weybridge, Invisalign is proving to be the straightening method of choice for teens and adults alike, and there are 2 good reasons for this.
See-through
Firstly, Invisalign does not obscure the teeth with uncomfortable brackets and wires. Instead, there are pressure points inside smooth, clear plastic mouth guard-like aligners. These go on over the teeth and do not rub against the inside of the cheek. Plus, because they are made of very thin plastic, people are going to have to peer quite hard at you to spot you are wearing them.
This means that you can continue with your daily business, or going to school, without becoming the unwelcome focus of anyone’s attention. All they will see is your teeth somehow becoming magically straighter, millimetre by millimetre over a matter of about a year on average.
Easy eating and cleaning
The other big advantage of choosing Invisalign in Weybridge is that the aligners are removable. You pop them out and store them in their carry-case when you need to eat or drink anything that is not simple water. Then brush your teeth before putting your aligners back in. This is so that the aligners do not become stained and therefore are rendered visible against your teeth.
The hygiene routine is much simpler and quicker than with traditional braces, and yet you will also find yourself cutting out snacks and coffees because you don’t want to have to go through all that cleaning every hour.
You must wear your aligners for 20-22 hours a day to stay on schedule with Invisalign in Weybridge, but don’t worry, with aligners this hard to spot, wearing them couldn’t be less hassle.
