Why our Invisalign Hertfordshire practice is worth a visit
Crooked or overcrowded teeth may seem like a smile killer, but be assured there is a solution in the form Invisalign treatment in Hertfordshire.
Here’s why you should consider our Invisalign Hertfordshire practice for your Invisalign treatment.
What is Invisalign?
If you’re unfamiliar with the whole Invisalign Hertfordshire process then don’t worry, here’s a little background information to get you up to speed. Invisalign in Hertfordshire involves our team using a series of transparent plastic aligners to realign any crooked teeth you may have. Through gentle direct forces on certain areas of your teeth, over time these crooked teeth will realign to a straighter position.
What does it involve?
On your free consultation from our team for your Invisalign in Hertfordshire, we use a precision digital scanning machine (iTero scanner) that employs lasers to accurately measure the topography and surrounding spaces of your teeth. Thought the Invisalign Smile Simulation the data produce a 3D image of your mouth, to show you how your final smile will look.
We take photos and x rays thereafter. This information is sent off to Invisalign to creates a ClinCheck that shows your realignment progress. Thereafter the Invisalign 3d print your customised aligners.
At Elegance Dental our professional team of dentists will give you an elegant experience as our name suggests, as we craft custom-made aligners that will give you the straightened smile you deserve.
What makes it different from other braces?
What makes Hertfordshire Invisalign different from other braces is that the aligners are completely see-through, so you won’t have to feel self-conscious as it’s incredibly hard to spot. Another difference is that the Invisalign aligners are removable, so you can remove them to clean your teeth and enjoy your dinner – there are no limitations to what you can eat.
We recommend you wear your Invisalign aligners for between 20 to 22 hours a day to make sure the teeth move correctly.
How to care for your aligners
It’s imperative that you keep your new aligners clean. It’s pretty easy to do, we originally provide aligner cleaning solution in your care pack. You can also lightly brush across the surface of the aligners. Cleaning your aligners roughly once a day should reduce any potential staining as well as keeping them clear of any potentially harmful bacteria that may accumulate.
Failure to keep your aligners clean could lead to plaque accumulation on your aligners, which over time could lead to cavities and gum inflammation. So keep your aligners crystal clear and leave it in your mouth as you go through your journey to a straighter smile.
