Let’s face it, crooked, misaligned teeth are not teeth at their best. Individually your teeth may be perfect, but if they are not neatly lined up their beauty is lost. Not only that but your misaligned teeth be difficult to clean, which can lead to all sorts of unwanted dental hygiene issues.

Choosing your alignment method

So, you have decided that braces are your route forward. Now it’s time to choose which type of braces to run with. There are many different types of braces out there that will properly align your teeth. However, traditional metal braces can be unattractive, uncomfortable and sometimes painful to wear. This is where we can help you. Having had years of experience with braces and tooth alignment, we have seen the results of many different types of Braces. Here in Orpington, braces are in high demand and the type we recommend is Invisalign in most cases. They are clear, discreet, easy to keep clean and manage, results are fantastic and long lasting when cared for properly. Of course, they may not be suitable in all cases, for instance people who have drastic tooth misalignment.

Here are a couple of factors to consider when choosing your tooth alignment programme.

Maximum comfort and safety

Choosing Invisalign clear braces in Orpington is the right option for reducing damage to your teeth. Invisalign aligners are smooth and custom-made to fit your teeth. When properly fitted, your gums and other sensitive areas in your mouth will not hurt when wearing them. The brackets of traditional wire and metal braces are attached to the surface of your teeth, which can lead to demineralisation and damage to the tooth surface. Invisalign aligners will not do this. So long as you remember to brush and floss after each meal your teeth are at no risk of damage.

Visability

Invisalign aligners are so thin, 0.3mm, that they disappear from view once they are snapped on over your teeth.

When you choose Invisalign braces in Orpington, you will receive a comprehensive, computerised treatment plan. This means you know exactly what to expect and how long you will need to wear your braces.
