For many years the only option available for straightening teeth was metal braces. Although extremely effective they are also pretty unsightly and have caused more than a few people a fair degree of social embarrassment as they have tried to hide all of the metal brackets and wires in their mouths. But there are other ways now to straighten your teeth without this pressure.
Invisalign braces are made from a clear material that eliminates the need for metal brackets and wires. They have been dubbed ‘the invisible brace’ or ‘see through braces’ by patients who have been pleased with them. But they are just an effective as traditional braces and are also constructed specially to fit the exact shape of your unique mouth. Modern technology allows construction to take place quickly too, usually without the need for moulds to be taken.
They are completely removable as long as you wear them for twenty two hours every day. You might want to take them out while you play a sport or are attending a business meeting. The fact that they are removable means that they are easy to clean and you needn’t worry about food getting trapped in amongst the metal braces and wires; a problem that can lead to bad breath in patients wearing traditional braces.
Instead of using metal wires to tighten your teeth, Invisalign braces are replaced when you need a new one to continue the process of adjustment. This means that the whole procedure is more comfortable. Ask your Leeds dentist if they are registered with Invisalign; if they are then you can have a free consultation and take the first step towards straightening your teeth out, efficiently and discreetly.
