Finding Nemo, Saving Private Ryan, Looking for Invisalign…great movies! Well, except for the last one maybe, but none-the-less, Invisalign is a classic in its own right and one that has dentists reaching for their voting pads in dentistry circles all around central Leeds. Why? Well it literally poops on all other forms of tooth alignment that have ever gone before it- it’s a cracker! There is no self consciousness when you have this aligner in your mouth because it is literally invisible, due to the fact it is manufactured from a special clear plastic that is hard to see when it is being worn. Now that is freedom enough for anyone going through any form of teeth alignment, but it gets better. You can take the aligner out whenever you fancy and this allows you to clean your teeth and to eat as normal- magical. But the icing on this cake is that the treatment is rapid: various forms of this treatment can be over and done with anywhere from six months upwards. It doesn’t suit everyone, so you will need to get measured up first to see if it will work for you. It isn’t the cheapest treatment either, but for what it does and how it does it, there is nothing quite like it and it can make possibly one of the most important periods of your life (tooth alignment) a complete breeze; check it out.

The USA is responsible for a lot of what is going on in the world today, but there is no doubting that one field they excel in is orthodontics; all things dental in fact. So it is wonderful then that some of their radically brilliant aligners have sailed across the Atlantic to woo the British and about time too: traditional braces aren’t the best option to get your teeth straightened, for many reasons, like the time involved, but especially the way they look once they are in. All of this is completely removed if you opt for Invisalign, a States-side dream that will woo you in central Leeds too. Once you are measured up and ready to go, you will be fitted with your first-of-many dainty, ‘gum-shield’ styled aligners. Dainty….dramatic more likes! The aligner is made from clear plastic, making it virtually invisible once it is fitted into place. That’s Invisalign’s first big plus. The second is that it can be removed at any time, as long as you wear it for around 22 hours a day, so that is perfect for eating and then, cleaning your teeth afterwards. Another advantage is that it works on average, a lot faster than most of the other options out there: Invisalign is also evolving its methods; one derivative can work as quickly as 6 months, which pretty much makes it the best aligner around today.
