Invisalign in Bromley has helped thousands of patients get the beautiful smile they’ve always dreamed of, it’s taken gapped teeth and pushed them together, realigned crooked and overcrowded smiles and fixed malocclusions time and again. However this is not all that Bromley Dental practice has to offer, a full smile makeover can begin with this orthodontic treatment but we can take it so much further than that.

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign in Bromley is a revolutionary orthodontic treatment that uses custom clear aligners to gently push the teeth into place over time. Depending on each person’s initial problems the process can take as little 7 -14 weeks or up to 9 months. Each person is different so each treatment is customised.

How does it work?

After determining that you are a good candidate for a smile makeover that starts with Invisalign in Bromley, we will perform a painless 3D imaging scan of your teeth. This scan relays information to a computer which then creates a 3D digital model of your mouth and can create a simulation for how your teeth will move over time which lets you see the results before treatment even begins.

If you are happy with what we can expect your teeth to look like then you give us the go-ahead and we send that information over to a lab which creates your custom clear aligners. Once we have received your sets of aligners we will teach you how to wear them when to take them out and for how long as well as how regularly you need to change them. After that, the treatment is in your own hands.

The beauty of these aligners is that they are invisible and no one will see you are even wearing anything. They are also removable which makes eating your favourite foods really easy and cleaning your teeth as normal as always.

Whitening – once you have the straight smile you always wanted it’s time to whiten and brighten, our inhouse whitening treatment will make your teeth a few shades whiter in just one session. We will expose all your teeth with a device that holds your lips open and then paint a special bleach onto each one, we then expose the bleached teeth to a special light with causes them to lighten.

Bonding – this step is needed if you have any chips in your teeth, we can apply composite bonding material to your chipped tooth and then sculpt it into the right shape in order to make your tooth whole again. Once you are satisfied with the look and have ensured we chose the right coloured material to match your new teeth, we will harden the substance with a special light making your chipped teeth brand new again.

Retainer – part of the Invisalign treatment is maintenance; your teeth are always going to want to go back to their old positions so you will be provided with a retainer to wear at night in order to keep your teeth in their new lovely straight position.

While there are a number of options out there for orthodontic care and cosmetic treatments that help the appearance of your smile, if you are looking for a safe and non-invasive solution to close the gaps between your teeth then Invisalign in Bromley may be able to help you. We at Bromley Dental practice know how self-conscious people can be about their teeth and gaps can make you look older and open you up to infection, which is why an invisible, non-surgical solution is a better option to unsightly traditional braces.

Diastema or gaps in the teeth

This condition refers to gaps in the teeth and can form anywhere in the mouth but is most often seen in the front teeth, particularly between the top two front teeth. It is difficult to pinpoint a cause but often it is due to someone’s teeth being too small for their jaw bone, so spaces grow between them. This is normally a hereditary issue, with the same gaps seen in parents as well as their children. It can also be caused by an overgrowth of gum tissue between the teeth, in which case a laser can be used to first trim away this tissue before you undertake orthodontic treatment.

In the past, braces were used to pull the teeth into the correct position so that they fit snugly next to one another, but this takes a long time and doesn’t look very appealing, especially for adults. With the invention of Invisalign in Bromley, we are able to gently push your teeth into position over a shorter period of time than it takes with traditional braces and achieves the same result.

This treatment can take less than 4 months to close small gaps in your teeth, for more complicated cases of crowding and misalignment it may take longer, depending on the individual. One thing is guaranteed, it is almost completely invisible. No one will see that you have an aligner in your mouth as it is completely clear and clips perfectly onto your teeth. But how is this achieved if each person is different?

The secret lies in the innovative 3D scanning technology that analyses your teeth and creates a 3D model of them on a computer, which means no gooey molds. The computer then creates a simulation of how your teeth are expected to move over time and is able to 3D print the aligners to custom fit you at each point in your treatment time in order to shift your teeth in exactly the right way to close the gap. Invisalign in Bromley can transform your smile and close the gaps which are making you feel self-conscious in order to give you the healthy teeth you’ve been wanting. Clear aligners are becoming the preferred choice for orthodontics the world over as they cost less and take less time than traditional braces.
