If you live with crooked teeth then you will have an understanding of the issues that they can cause you in your daily fight for good oral health standards, you may well feel less than satisfied with your overall oral hygiene standards. You should be aware of the fact that living with misaligned teeth is one of the most common oral health conditions amongst adults living in the United Kingdom today. Many people have a daily struggle to maintain the standard of oral health they feel they need and this can lead to them living with some discomfort in their  mouths.

It could be that you were offered tooth alignment treatment earlier in your life, but opted not to receive the treatment as you felt you were in a sensitive stage of your development, as you may have been in your early teen years. This may have led you to believe that the opportunity to receive the treatment you feel you need has passed you by, but this is not the case.

You may also feel that you do not want wire braces on your teeth as you think that they are unsightly and not suitable for someone living as an adult, this is why we would ask you to consider Invisalign in Bromley.

At Bromley Dental Practice we can help you to gain the perfectly aligned teeth that you are seeking, this will help you to improve your oral health and hygiene standards. Best of all, we can help you do this in a way that is totally discreet.

A modern discreet treatment

We are very aware that adults who are seeking to undergo tooth alignment treatment wish to do so in a way that allows them to keep their treatment private and without affecting the image others see of their teeth and mouth. For this reason, Invisalign in Bromley may be the treatment solution that many adults living with misaligned teeth may be looking for.

The devices used during this treatment programme are created by moulding two layers of clear plastic together to create a series of alignment devices that are designed to meet the specific needs of the individual patient being treated, this means you will receive a treatment that is completely targeted to meet your tooth alignment needs.

You will need to wear each aligner in your mouth for around two weeks and then replace it with the next aligner in your treatment programme, you will be shown how you can remove and replace your alignment devices by yourself. You will need to follow the treatment programme as it is laid out as this will allow you to gain the best possible results from your alignment treatment.

Deciding to undergo tooth alignment treatment is a big commitment for you to undertake, as your treatment could take twelve to eighteen months to complete. We are certain that once you see the results you will feel that the commitment was well worth making.

If you are considering undergoing tooth alignment treatment using Invisalign in Bromley then we invite you to contact our dental practice to find out more details about the treatment and to book a consultation to have your misaligned teeth fully examined so your needs can be fully assessed.

When it comes to straightening your teeth, you will not find an option that is more discreet than an invisible aligner.

Made from transparent plastic and custom-made for your teeth, these nifty orthodontic tools are ideal for correcting misalignments in those with mild to moderate dental spacing or crowding cases.

When you come to see our team at the Bromley Dental Practice, we will always be happy to discuss your suitability for Invisalign in Bromley and will be sure to answer any queries that you have in jargon-free language, so you can understand every part of this process.

But, before getting to that, you may be curious about the aligners themselves; how do you maintain Invisalign in Bromley? Here are some top tips from our team.

Keep them clean

In order to keep Invisalign in Bromley functioning as a tool and to keep your teeth free from gum disease or tooth decay, you will need to keep the aligners clean. So, be sure to clean them twice a day (minimum) with cold water and a soft-bristled brush. Be sure that you brush and floss your teeth before putting the aligners back in your mouth.

There are even aligner-friendly cleaning crystals that you can use that have a minty taste for them. Or, if you prefer, you can even use a denture cleaner. Just be sure that they are clean, as this will prevent secondary issues from occurring in your mouth.

Wear them as directed

Invisible aligners are typically worn for at least 20-22 hours per day, so it’s important to wear them as directed by our team. If you do not follow the directions as set down in your treatment plan, it may take longer for your teeth to straighten, or they may even revert to their previous positions.

Take them out

When you are eating or drinking, it is recommended to take the aligners out. Unless you are drinking water, in which case, you can keep them in.

This will prevent staining, will help to keep them safe (and protect them against damage from hard foods), and will ensure that you have time to clean them.

Keep them in a safe place

When you take your aligners out, make sure to keep them in a secure place, such as the case, to avoid losing or damaging them. While they are strong enough to move your teeth, it is not advisable to simply toss them into a bag or your pocket, as this can cause them to warp. So, keep them safe!

Visit our team regularly

To ensure that these aligners work as planned, you will need to follow the schedule of regular check-ups with our team to monitor the progress of your treatment. There is an associated app, which is downloadable for smartphones, which we recommend to all of our patients who are using these aligners. It allows you to send us photos of your smile, so we can assess how the treatment is progressing without you needing to come into the surgery.

Dental treatment for misaligned dentition has made enormous strides over the past few decades thanks in part to the developments made in technology. For many years dental X-rays delivered a black and white image with limitations. Now we have scanners which can take intraoral images at the rate of three thousand a second, in three dimensions and in colour. The scanners are also very safe as there is no radiation to worry about. This allows us to provide you with efficient and comfortable treatment using Invisalign in Bromley. This amazing technology takes away all the guesswork because we can produce accurate virtual images for you. Making a decision about whether to proceed with treatment or not is made easier by our experienced dentist being able to show you what your smile will look like before treatment begins. This should encourage you to see that you too can have a smile to be proud of in the future.

A different type of misalignment appliance

Invisalign in Bromley does not work in the same way as traditional braces do with blocks on your teeth, wires and bands. Instead the aligner or tray as it is sometimes called looks more like a conventional gum shield. The treatment involves a series of trays being produced, each one shaped slightly differently so that your teeth will be gently moved into alignment.

Digitised efficiency

At Bromley Dental Practice our team have over fifteen years of experience in correcting dental misalignment. We make use of the latest computer software and hardware to bring you accurate and comfortable relief. Digitisation allows us to eliminate the need for dental putty to create an image of your teeth. Using the images created by the 3D scanner and algorithms within the Invisalign in Bromley software we are able to produce a comprehensive treatment plan. We need to communicate with the laboratory to produce your specific trays based on the condition we are treating. This could be an overcrowded mouth, overbite, underbite or various other misalignment conditions. Each treatment is unique and requires a specific number of trays.

Discreet treatment in plain sight

The trays are made of a thermoplastic material which is clear and, therefore, almost indiscernible. This has made the treatment very popular with young and more mature patients alike. The traditional dental brace was made from metal and was fixed to the front of your teeth making it impossible to not be seen. Now there is no need to feel self-conscious about having dental misalignment treatment.

A lot more adaptable

The more severe the condition being treated the greater the number of trays required to complete the treatment. The trays must be worn for at least twenty-two hours per day, but can be removed for eating and to be able to brush your teeth. Each tray requires between two and three weeks to complete its work before moving to the next tray. Treatment can range from six months to twenty-four months. Once treatment has been completed one more aligner needs to be worn which will help to keep your teeth in their new position. The duration of this is usually a few weeks and when we give you the go ahead you can remove this final aligner and reveal your broad, confident and radiant smile to everyone.

With alignment issues such as crowded or gapped teeth, over or underbites, or crossbite, there is a treatment that we offer here at Bromley Dental Practice that is almost invisible to other people. Invisalign in Bromley is a treatment that consists of plastic aligners that are transparent, so only the teeth should be visible to other people. The aligners are removable, so with Invisalign in Bromley, you won’t need to worry about wearing them when you are eating, or when you are cleaning your teeth. You will be able to continue eating normally and you should also be able to maintain excellent oral hygiene standards. Getting a beautiful smile has just got a whole lot easier!

What do aligners do?

Aligners are worn on top of your teeth like a gum shield and they press against the teeth to push them into the correct alignment. You will have to switch between your aligners every couple of weeks, and we will give you the number of aligners you will need for 6 weeks. After this, you can then come to see us for a check-up and we can provide you with the next aligners that you will need. The aligners are made precisely for your mouth using iTero technology. This is a digital scan that we use to obtain the precise measurements of your mouth for your aligners to be made for you, so you should find that they are very comfortable to wear as they are made for your mouth alone. From the scan, we can also generate an animation of what your teeth will look like by the end of the treatment, so you can be clear what the end goal is, before you have started your Invisalign journey. This should motivate you to wear your aligners, if you need any encouragement!

Beauty and benefits

Aside from getting a wonderful smile, Invisalign in Bromley can also allow you to brush your teeth properly. Once your teeth are in alignment, they should be much easier to clean. You could also discover other benefits, such as improved speech and the ability to chew your food properly. You may also find that if you had jaw pain, prior to treatment, that this is also reduced or eliminated as well. There are so many reasons to love Invisalign, alongside the fact that you could achieve your new smile in as little as 6 to 18 months. What’s not to love about that?

Consultation

If you want to find out more about how Invisalign works and if it’s the right treatment for your needs, make an appointment for a consultation with our friendly, professional and highly experienced team. We will examine your mouth to ascertain what your alignment issues are, before recommending the best treatments for you. We will explain what each entails, so that you can make an informed decision. If we do recommend Invisalign and you choose to go ahead with it, you could have a healthy and happy smile that you can be proud of in a matter of months.

Having alignment issues such as crossbite, over or underbites, crowded or gapped teeth can cause low self-esteem. However, there’s no need to let this feeling linger! At Bromley Dental Practice, our dentist, Dr Bashir, has over 15 years’ of experience in treating patients with Invisalign in Bromley. Invisalign is a treatment that offers a discreet way of realigning your smile. It is a form of plastic aligners, which, when worn over the teeth, are virtually invisible. This means that no matter where you are going or what you need to do, you should be able to wear your aligners with the confidence that nobody is going to be staring at your mouth. With results being achieved from between to 6 to 18 months, you can also feel assured that Invisalign in Bromley is the treatment you need to get the results in the most time-efficient way possible.

How does Invisalign work?

The Invisalign system involves bespoke aligners. We make these for you by digitally scanning your mouth for the precise measurements required to have your aligners manufactured for you. From this, we can also show you an virtual representation of how your teeth will look after the treatment, before we even start the treatment! This will allow you to visualise how great your new smile is going to be and will remind you of why you’re embarking upon an Invisalign journey with us. When you wear your aligners, they press the teeth to gradually move them into the correct position. You will be required to change your aligners every couple of weeks, for 6 weeks, after which you will then need to come and have a checkup with us and get some more for the next 6 weeks.

Why Invisalign?

If Invisalign is deemed an appropriate treatment for your specific needs, then you should be pleased for many reasons. Firstly, it allows you to have your teeth discreetly treated. Also, you will be able to remove the aligners for a couple of hours each day. This is useful as it means that you won’t need to wear them while you are eating and drinking, so you won’t have to worry about cleaning your aligners, nor will you have to avoid eating any foods that could damage them. What’s more, you will also be able to take them out, when you are brushing your teeth (don’t forget to floss too!) This means that you should be able to keep your teeth and gums in good condition, whilst having your teeth realigned.

A further advantage of Invisalign is that the aligners will be comfortable as they are uniquely made for your mouth, but also because the plastic is smooth and shouldn’t catch on the inside of your mouth. At Bromley Dental Practice, we believe that getting a great smile shouldn’t be an uncomfortable experience and we hope that Invisalign delivers when it comes to getting treatment without any hassle.

How does Invisalign in Bromley work?

Invisalign in Bromley is a very popular method of teeth straightening that has helped correct many millions of smiles across the world. You will undergo a 3-dimensional scan of your teeth to digitally create an image of your teeth. This image will be manipulated using invisaligns very own iTero technology that will show you how your teeth will look following successful treatment with Invisalign in Bromley. This software also helps design a sequence of invisalign aligners which will work together to help you achieve the end result.

Invisalign aligners are transparent and made up of a specialist polymer which is flexible and therefore fits your teeth with accuracy, precision and comfort. These aligners are designed to be worn for two weeks at a time, after which you switch to the next aligner in the series. The aligners will apply gradual pressure on your teeth to push them into a neater formation. This will help improve the overall appearance of your teeth and your face and it will also help improve the health of your teeth, preventing dental complications in the future. Here at Bromley Dental Practice you can improve your smile within 6 to 12 months with Invisalign in Bromley and not only is it a comfortable and convenient treatment option it is also very discreet and you will not have to draw unwanted attention to your mouth whilst you are undergoing treatment.

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a treatment that consists of aligners. We place these over your teeth and they push them into the correct position in as little as 6 to 18 months, on average. You will need to change your aligners every week and we will give you enough aligners to do this for 6 weeks, before you need to come and see us for a checkup. At the checkup, we will then give you the next 6 weeks’ worth of aligners.

Why should I consider Invisalign?

Invisalign in Bromley offers many benefits for patients. Firstly, when the aligners are worn over your teeth, they should hardly be visible, because they are made of plastic, which is transparent. This could give you more confidence to continue with your life as you get your teeth aligned, wearing them for 22 hours a day. Yes, you read that right! For 2 hours of the day, you can also remove your aligners; this includes at mealtimes, so you won’t need to adapt what you eat to avoid damaging your aligners. You can also take them out to ensure that you clean your teeth properly, and you can also remove them for other things like playing sports, juggling, or skipping – we love happiness! – the choice is yours!

A further reason to choose Invisalign is that they can be custom made for your mouth, which means that they should be comfortable for you to wear. Using iTero technology, we will digitally scan your mouth to get the measurements for the aligners to be made, and we will also produce a 3D animation of how your teeth will look after the Invisalign treatment is completed. It can be a really motivating part of your Invisalign journey, seeing how great your smile will be before you’ve even got started!

Will Invisalign hurt?

You shouldn’t feel any pain with Invisalign and, although you may need to get used to having aligners in your mouth, you should quickly get used to them. You may have experienced jaw pain or chewing difficulties as a result of your misaligned teeth. As your teeth become realigned, you will hopefully start to feel this discomfort diminish too. The same could also be said for speech difficulties, if you have had issues with this.

Advantages of Invisalign

If you are thinking about teeth straightening then you need to speak to us at Bromley Dental Practice and learn more about Invisalign in Bromley. Invisalign is suitable for those with mild or moderate orthodontic cases, whilst more complicated orthodontic issues are better treated using traditional orthodontic methods or fixed orthodontic braces. Invisalign consists of removable aligners that you can take off and replace as necessary. Therefore, they are highly convenient and do not affect your eating habits, your lifestyle choices, or the way you brush or floss your teeth, so that you can clean your teeth as usual. They are widely reported as being very comfortable to wear and take no time getting used to. They do not affect your speech or the appearance of your mouth; rather they are designed to fit snugly over your teeth with accuracy and precision.

The process

Speak to us and book an assessment today. We will identify the issues that are affecting the appearance and health of your teeth and we will decide whether or not Invisalign will be the right treatment for you. If we are happy that your teeth are clean and healthy and that you can go ahead with teeth straightening, then you will have a three-dimensional, specialised digital scan which will be used to develop a digital image of your teeth, to show how Invisalign can change the aesthetics of your smile for the better.

The scan results will be used to put together an individually tailored treatment plan for you which will outline the number of aligners that you need and the duration of the treatment to achieve the smile that you are looking for. The aligners will then be manufactured using the scan results for accuracy and precision, after this you will receive the full set of aligners and you will be ready to begin the process. You can book an appointment for the initial fitting after which you can work your way through the aligners yourself. However, you will need to visit our dentist on a regular basis to make sure that the process is coming along successfully.

Invisible aligners

One of the most attractive features of Invisalign in Bromley is that it replaces metal wires and brackets with clear plastic aligners to help straighten your teeth. This means that adults and teenagers who have previously been reluctant to undergo traditional orthodontic treatment, because they wish to prevent drawing further attention to their mouths, are now happy to address the misalignment of their teeth due to the subtle nature of Invisalign in Bromley.  Invisalign is a discreet method of teeth straightening and the aligners are almost invisible when worn in your mouth. You can straighten your teeth without anyone knowing that you are undergoing dental treatment.

Comfortable and convenient

Not only are the aligners discreet, but they are also comfortable to wear, convenient and easy to maintain. Most patients report that within 24 hours they are accustomed to the sensation of the aligners in their mouth. Each aligner needs to be worn for approximately 20 to 22 hours of the day, however, you take them out at meal times and this is the perfect opportunity to soak them in a cleaning solution, enjoy your meal, brush your teeth and floss and then place the aligners back into your mouth for the rest of the day. Each aligner is designed to be worn for approximately 2 weeks and then you move on to the next aligner in the series. They are individually manufactured using 3D printing and therefore they fit your mouth with accuracy and precision.

Invisalign at Bromley Dental Practice

To create your aligners we first carry out a smile assessment to identify the issues that are affecting the appearance of your teeth, as well as making sure that you have no underlying dental issues that may be exacerbated by the treatment or the results of the treatment. You will then undergo a three-dimensional scan which creates a digital image of your mouth and this is sent to the Invisalign laboratories to create your individually tailored aligners. You will receive the aligners within a few weeks so that you can begin the procedure and we will provide you with the full set of aligners so you can change them in the comfort of your own home. Our dentist will examine your teeth after every two or three aligners and make sure that the process is coming along successfully. Speak to us at the practice today to find out more.

Cosmetic dentistry has helped patients to achieve beautiful smiles, and we are proud to be providers of one of the key treatments for aligning smiles in a discreet, convenient and effective way. Invisalign in Bromley is a treatment that offers a comfortable and time-effective way of getting your teeth in line without other people knowing how you are doing it. It is a non-invasive treatment that involves iTero technology and our years of experience!

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a system that uses clear plastic aligners that can be worn over the teeth (think of a rugby gum shield but far more streamlined!) These transparent aligners show your teeth through them; other people shouldn’t realise that you have anything in your mouth at all. As you wear the aligners, they apply pressure to your teeth to gradually move them into the position that is required to give you a superb smile – get the cameras ready! Cheeeeeeeese!

How are the aligners made?

The aligners are fitted bespoke to your mouth. Here at Bromley Dental Practice, we use iTero technology to take a digital scan of your mouth. From this scan, we get the measurements that are required to have your aligners manufactured in the Invisalign laboratories. We will then provide you with 6 weeks’ worth of aligners, and you must change between these every week; each aligner will use a varying degree of pressure to gently move your teeth. You should then come in to see us for a checkup and to receive the next batch of aligners.

Invisalign in Bromley has yet another trick up its sleeve! When we have taken the scan of your mouth, we can generate a 3D animation of how your teeth will appear once the treatment has been completed before you even get started! It can be a really motivating factor in your Invisalign journey.

Any other benefits to Invisalign?

Although every patient’s needs will be different, Invisalign can be used to treat mild to moderate alignment issues such as crossbites, underbites, overbites or crowded or gapped teeth. The treatment times are typically between 6 to 18 months, so you could have a beautiful smile within a short amount of time.

Another advantage of choosing Invisalign is the fact that the aligners are removable for up to 2 hours a day, which means that you can eat and drink as normal without having to clean your aligners afterwards. You will also be able to maintain your normal oral hygiene routine by brushing and flossing regularly, and you won’t have any obstacles in your mouth to try and clean around.
