  • Is it time to get a beautiful smile with Invisalign?

    We often hear our patients saying they regret they missed out on the opportunity to have their teeth straightened as a child. Does that sound familiar? Or did you have braces as a teenager but now have crooked teeth as an adult? Perhaps you’ve never considered straightening your teeth, but given the chance, you’d love to never be embarrassed or self-conscious about smiling again.

    Whatever the reason, if you’re looking for convenient adult orthodontic treatment in Earley, Berkshire, consider Invisalign clear braces. You can achieve your goal of a beautifully balanced and uniform smile with clear aligners while minimizing the impact on your comfort and lifestyle.

    The advantages of having a straighter smile with Invisalign

    Even if the aesthetics of crooked teeth don’t bother you, there are a variety of reasons to consider orthodontics and Invisalign.

    Gingivitis, periodontal disease, bad breath, tooth wear and damage, and jaw joint problems, including TMJ, can all be caused by dental malocclusion (crooked teeth or a poor bite). You may even have experienced psychological and social issues as a result of how others perceive tooth loss and a crooked smile.

    Why do so many adults opt for Clear Aligners?

    Until Invisalign came along 20 years ago, the only option for straightening crooked teeth was metal brackets and wires, which most adults could not afford. Instead, they simply did not receive treatment.

    Adult orthodontic treatment with Invisalign has changed the way dentists and patients think about straightening teeth. Invisalign uses clear, comfortable plastic aligners rather than brackets and wires attached to your teeth.

    A near invisible metal-free smile

    The most obvious advantage is you can straighten your teeth without everyone knowing. When worn, the crystal-clear aligners fit snugly over your teeth and are virtually invisible.

    Clear aligners that are comfortable

    Another advantage of Invisalign treatment is its comfort. Because there’s no metal in your mouth, you won’t experience the irritation or soreness brackets and wires can cause. Many patients tell us they forget they’re even wearing aligners.

    Simple and convenient orthodontic treatment

    As an adult with a busy schedule, you’ll appreciate the ease of straightening your teeth with Invisalign. Clear aligners, unlike metal braces, are removable. There are no food restrictions because your aligners can be taken out for meals meaning, like your teeth and gums, they can be easily kept cleaned.

    Am I suitable for Invisalign?

    To determine if you’re a good candidate for clear aligners, our specialists at Puresmile Earley Dental & Implants in Earley, Berkshire, will conduct a thorough initial examination. These are some of the issues that Invisalign can help you with.

    • Crooked teeth
    • Teeth crowding
    • Teeth that have rotated
    • Large gaps and spacing problems
    • Overbites & Underbites

    Your Puresmile Earley dental team will plan your case and collaborate with an Invisalign lab to create all of the aligners you’ll need to straighten your teeth.

    Wear each set for 1-2 weeks, then switch to the next, repeating the process until you’ve worn all of your aligners and your treatment is finished.

    You’ll see us every 8-10 weeks to check on your progress and get your next set of aligners. You repeat these steps until you’ve worn all your aligners and finished your treatment.
