For mild to moderate conditions, we frequently recommend Invisalign in Bromley.

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.

With Invisalign in Bromley you can address the aesthetic issues affecting your teeth comfortably and conveniently at your discretion. This is why Invisalign in Bromley is such a popular choice of teeth straightening. Where traditional orthodontic braces are highly visible in the mouth, Invisalign aligners are made of clear thermoplastic and are almost invisible in the mouth.

It can be used with teenagers and it can be used with adults who are either looking to address their orthodontic issues for the first time or have undergone orthodontic treatment when they were younger.

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.

If you would like to find out about addressing the misalignment of your teeth then visit our website or speak to us and ask about Invisalign in Bromley and let us help you achieve a beautiful smile very soon.

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.

Shhh! Don’t tell everyone, but here at Bromley Dental Practice, we want you to know that the smiles you see in a magazine aren’t always the smiles that people are born with. 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.

In adult life, both professionally and personally, people will judge you on your appearance or, more specifically, your smile. This means if there is misalignment, spacing or overcrowding, this can lead to insecurities around showing off your pearly whites.

You may have concerns that the only way to straighten your smile in your adult life effectively will be to use a fitted metal brace, which is unlikely to reduce any insecurities that you may have. However, there is now an option of using an invisible aligner for many adults who are looking for a more simplistic way to straighten their teeth.

At Bromley Dental Practice, we are always happy to talk to our patients about the possibility of using Invisalign in Bromley: a clear aligner that can be moulded to the shape of your teeth; it certainly offers a simplistic alternative to braces while also being visually discreet.

Are you curious to know more about Invisalign in Bromley? Read on for our team’s answers to common queries that we receive from our patients about this aligner.

Are aligners better than braces?

Aligners can certainly seem better than braces, especially if you are looking for an option that is visually discreet. However, one thing that our team will have to consider when assessing you for Invisalign in Bromley is the complexity of your misalignment. If it is mild to moderate, then we will certainly begin planning for you to wear this invisible aligner. If it is more complicated and involves the movement of molar teeth, then you will likely require a fitted brace.

Will they take longer to straighten my teeth?

On average, invisible aligners take between 3 to 6 months to straighten teeth. In adult patients, fitted braces usually take between 12 to 36 months to straighten teeth. So, there is an obvious time advantage with invisible aligners. Remember, however, that your suitability for these aligners depends on the complexity of your misalignment.

How often will I need checkups?

You will need to see our team at Bromley Dental Practice on average every 6 to 8 weeks while using clear aligners. There is an app that can be downloaded on smartphones, which will enable our team to assess the progress of this aligner from selfies that you send to us once a week; this can also reduce the time needed in the surgery.

Can they correct an overbite?

Invisible aligners can indeed correct overbites, underbites and crossbites, as well as issues with overcrowding, spacing and general misalignment. They can help with minor issues related to protrusions too. But remember, whether you can use an invisible aligner will depend on the severity of the overbite and any associated complexities..

Are they expensive?

Our team at Bromley Dental Practice can offer suitable patients financing options to help them cover the costs associated with invisible aligners. That way, patients can get the straighter smile they want without having to worry about their monthly budgets. So, no, invisible aligners are not expensive and can be fitted into your budget with ease.

If you want to straighten your teeth without drawing further attention to your mouth and with as few visits to the dentist as possible then you need to speak to us at Bromley Dental Practice and find out about Invisalign in Bromley. First introduced here in the UK only two decades ago, Invisalign in Bromley has quickly become one of the most popular choices for teeth straightening. Invisalign has helped correct millions of smiles across the world in this short period of time and this number continues to grow on a daily basis. If you have crooked or wonky teeth then you need to speak to us at our dental practice to find out more today.

Initially when Invisalign in Bromley was first introduced it was designed to target mild misalignment issues of the teeth such as protruding front teeth, slightly crooked or wonky teeth. With continuous research and development being carried out to maximise the effect of Invisalign, it is now able to correct more complicated orthodontic issues. This includes overlapping teeth, gaps in the teeth and bite disorders such as crossbite, overbite and underbite. By addressing these problems Invisalign not only helps improve the appearance of your smile, but it also helps promote better dental health.

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a modern teeth-straightening procedure which uses a series of clear thermoplastic aligners which work together to change the position of your teeth to form a neatly aligned smile. The clear aligners provide a highly discreet alternative to traditional orthodontic braces. The aligners are found to be significantly more appealing for adults who are reluctant to undergo treatment with traditional orthodontic braces. This is because they can be taken out of your mouth and replaced as necessary, whilst traditional orthodontics are carried out using fixed braces which are glued to the surfaces of your teeth and remain in your mouth for the duration of the treatment. The discretion of the aligners and the convenience of the treatment procedure have led to the growing popularity of Invisalign amongst the adult population across the world. More people than ever before are correcting the aesthetic aspects of their teeth, including teeth straightening, so speak to us at our dental surgery today to find out how you can do the same.

Our dentists are highly trained in the Invisalign system to help you achieve a successful outcome. You will undergo a smile assessment to begin with to find out the factors that are affecting the appearance of your smile. You will also need to undergo an examination of your teeth and gums to make sure that they are healthy and that Invisalign is suitable for you. Once you are ready you will need to have a three-dimensional scan of your teeth which is sent to Align technology, the manufacturers of Invisalign, who will create a series of aligners for you according to the scan results. These aligners are designed to place constant pressure on your teeth to push them into a neater formation. If you are interested, please contact us to find out more.

At Bromley Dental Practice, there is some cloak and dagger stuff going on. We don’t expect Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson to crack the case, and this isn’t magic that only members of the Magic Circle can know about – we’re happy to let you in on the secret. If you have misaligned teeth, Invisalign in Bromley is a discreet and convenient treatment for improving the appearance of your smile. The treatment is so discreet that nobody should realise that you have anything in your mouth at all! You can even remove the plastic aligners for up to 2 hours a day so that you won’t have anything in your mouth when you are doing things like eating and drinking, allowing you to maintain your regular diet and brush and floss as normal. Invisalign in Bromley is offered to patients with their adult teeth, and there is a special range for teenagers as well.

How does Invisalign work?

When considering treatments, it helps to consider your lifestyle and individual needs to decide if a treatment is right for you. Invisalign in Bromley works by supplying you with batches of aligners that need to be changed every week, and every 6 weeks you will need to see us for a checkup and receive your next 6 weeks’ worth of aligners. As you wear your aligners, each set will apply an amount of pressure on your teeth to gradually move them into the desired position. Treatment can take, on average, 6 to 18 months.

The aligners are made to measure your mouth bespoke thanks to the iTero technology that we use to scan your mouth. With the scan, we get the measurements needed to make your aligners, and we can also generate a 3D animation of how your teeth will look once treatment has been completed. This means that the aligners should be comfortable to wear, and you will have an excellent idea of how your teeth will look once treatment is completed right from the offset.

What are the other advantages of choosing Invisalign?

Invisalign is discreet and arguably more appealing to patients as fixed metal braces can be considered more embarrassing by some wearers. Of course, Invisalign is only suitable for mild to moderate alignment issues, and if you have a more complicated alignment situation, fixed braces may still be the way forward for you. Having said this, we have other treatment options that can be explored with you if necessary.

With Invisalign, the plastic is durable and hardwearing, and you don’t have to wear them while you eat, meaning that there’s no mess to clean up!

What are Invisalign aligners?

Invisalign aligners are clear, thin, thermoplastic aligners that are individually manufactured using the latest in digital dental technology to help create aligners that are comfortable to wear, highly discreet and effective in achieving precise results following strict adherence to protocol. This is an important factor in achieving successful results.

Invisalign aligners are removable and can be taken out of the mouth and replaced as necessary; however, you have to be dedicated to the treatment procedure and ensure that you wear the aligners for at least 22 hours of the day so that you can achieve the smile that you are aiming for. Invisalign works using a series of aligners and each aligner is worn for approximately two weeks until you move onto the next aligner in the series.

Each prescription varies as every smile is unique but the approximate treatment time with Invisalign is between 6 and 12 months. This is completely dependent on the extent of the misalignment that you begin with. Invisalign helps treat crooked or wonky smiles, protruding front teeth, overlapping teeth, small gaps in the teeth and bite disorders of the jaw.

Invisalign is suitable for mild or moderate misalignment issues of the teeth but you can speak to our friendly dentist here at Bromley dental practice to find out about the other teeth straightening procedures that are available for you if your issues are more complicated or severe.

A healthy, happy smile

By correcting the misalignment issues of your teeth using Invisalign, not only will you achieve a smile that is more attractive to look at but you will also promote better dental health and fewer dental complications in the future than if the misalignment of your teeth had not been addressed. Speak to us at Bromley dental practice today to book an initial consultation and find out if Invisalign is suitable for you. You will have an assessment of your dental health to make sure that Invisalign will be beneficial and will not harm your teeth or gums in any way. Soon you will be ready to begin your journey with Invisalign to help straighten your teeth and achieve a smile that you can happily show off to the rest of the world.

Invisalign is a great method of teeth straightening in a discreet way. It is a highly popular treatment, which offers the same results in some cases as traditional metal braces. Invisalign Bromley acts to straighten the teeth with a gradual process, incrementally. The invisible braces are created from thermoplastic, this visually unobtrusive material enables the movement of teeth into the positioning the patient desires. These invisible braces come in sets and must be changed every two weeks so that the movement continues on to the prescribed result. Since the process is gradual the teeth straightening will not happen overnight. The aligners are custom made using 3D scans and X-rays of the patient’s mouth structure and all this will make sure that Invisalign Bromley fits on comfortably. If this treatment is something that is under consideration by you, get in touch with our dentist. We at Bromley Dental Practice have expertise in this field and can deliver the smile you have often dreamed of.

The various benefits of Invisalign treatment

There are plenty of benefits when receiving this orthodontic treatment from our dentist, not least the aesthetic advantage that comes with this process. One of the main boons of clear aligners is that they are removable when required, they also provide more comfort than the usual traditional metal braces. Metal braces have sharp, extruding edges which can cause cuts in the mouth area, but since Invisalign is made custom-made to match your unique mouth area it fits comfortably. Invisalign also fixes many dental problems, as having misaligned teeth can cause many dental issues. There is a higher risk of developing gum disease and plaque forming to cause dental cavities. By having straight teeth it is easier to brush them and you will have better overall dental health.

Another benefit is that there is no need for any dietary changes. When an individual has traditional metal braces there have to be food restrictions, this is because the wires must be treated carefully so that they do not dislocate. As Invisalign Bromley can be removed when eating you can eat whatever you wish to during the treatment period.

A popular advantage is that Invisalign treatment is normally of shorter duration. Metal braces can, in most cases, take approximately 16-18 months to achieve the final result. For others it may take up to two years or longer and this is a long period to wait to have straighter teeth. Traditional metal braces have a longer duration treatment period as they don’t have a specific movement planned out, whereas clear aligners have a specific movement plan from the very beginning of treatment.

Since Invisalign is designed and manufactured to be transparent, the public will not be aware that you are wearing braces. It means that you can have the best of both worlds, knowing you are having your teeth aligned in a subtle way, with little impact on your appearance whilst doing so, unlike many other methods of teeth straightening.

The side-effects of Invisalign treatment

Invisalign braces take time to get used to. There are a few potential side effects, however they are rare, for instance, some patients may get irritation or an allergic reaction to the Invisalign braces. However, this should heal itself within a few days, if not please contact us for help.

If you are thinking about improving the appearance of your teeth and smile, then speak to us at Bromley Dental Practice to find out about Invisalign. Many factors can affect the look of your teeth and smile, but thanks to the advances in cosmetic dentistry, there are now many different treatments available to address all types of aesthetic issues. Many people suffer from crooked teeth, and even after having braces early on in life, you may find that your teeth become misaligned as you get older. To help prevent this, you must use good retainers after any orthodontic treatment. However, if you have not done so and are looking to improve your teeth or this is your first attempt at fixing your smile, then Invisalign in Bromley could be a suitable solution for you.

How does it work?

Firstly, you need to book an initial consultation with us at Bromley Dental Practice to find out more about Invisalign in Bromley and talk about your dental requirements and what you are looking for from our dentist. Not all issues can be fixed by Invisalign in Bromley, so you can learn about other treatment options that are available for you if this is the case.

If you have moderate dental misalignment problems, such as crooked or protruding teeth, then Invisalign in Bromley could be the right choice for you. Your dentist will need to take a set of photographs, x-rays and scans of your teeth and mouth to help set up the treatment plan for you. These will then be used to create a virtual simulation of your mouth with which your dentist can experiment to find out more about how your teeth will look following successful treatment with Invisalign. Once you and your dentist are happy with the expected results, these images will be sent to the manufacturers, Invisalign technology, who will create a series of tailored clear aligners that can help create a beautiful smile for you. This process normally takes around four weeks if your results are sent digitally. If you need to provide impressions of your teeth to the manufacturers, then the process can take up to 8 weeks.

You will be given a series of aligners that should be worn for approximately two weeks at a time, sometimes less or more, depending on how crooked your teeth may be. These have to be worn for at least 22 hours a day and removed before you eat or clean your teeth. The number of aligners that you need will also depend on how much straightening is necessary to achieve the smile that you are looking for.

The average treatment time with Invisalign ranges from six months to a year, and this varies between each patient. Here at Bromley Dental Practice, we recommend that you visit our dentist once every six weeks after you have started wearing your aligners to make sure that the process is coming along successfully. These regular visits can also help us to ensure that you are not experiencing any dental issues caused by the treatment.
