Have you always wanted straighter teeth, but aren't sure of the first steps to take? Whilst some people are naturally blessed with straight teeth and a great smile, there are also others who are not entirely happy and feel like they need some extra help. If you're one of these people, you will be happy to know that at your local dental practice, there are dental treatment options that can help you correct any dental imperfections you may have.
The benefits of having straight teeth
Not only is having straight teeth aesthetically pleasing and can boost your confidence and self-esteem, it's also important for your health. For one, if your teeth aren't aligned properly, it can also make it harder for you to chew food properly which can also impact your digestive system, leading to issues such as bloating and constipation. Additionally, straight teeth reduce the risk of tooth decay and gum disease, as their absence of gaps or dental imperfections such as crooked or crowded teeth means that issues such as plaque build-up or trapped food particles are less likely to occur. You will also find that with straighter teeth they are a lot easier to clean and maintain good overall oral hygiene. So if you still want to invest in dental treatment, with the help of experienced dentists, they can help you on your journey to achieving straighter teeth and an overall improved smile, and one of the ways they can do this is with Invisalign Luton.
Why you should choose Invisalign
Invisalign is a modern alternative to traditional metal braces. Many people put off getting braces because they either don't want to deal with pain or embarrassment in front of others, or feel they are too old to have orthodontic treatment. This is why due to advancements in dental technology, there are now more alternatives than ever before for those who would like to straighten their teeth. Invisalign is revolutionary in that it uses advanced 3D technology to not only show you how your teeth will look following the treatment, but to create a series of clear, removable aligners which are used to straighten your teeth. The clear aligners work by applying light pressure on your teeth slowly shifting them into the desired position. It is required that you wear each aligner for at least 20 hours a day, removing them only to eat, drink and brush your teeth, meaning that you are able to maintain a good oral regime throughout the treatment. Each set of aligners should be worn for at least two weeks before switching to a new set however this will vary for each individual.
The takeaway
Following the treatment, you will be given a set of retainers to sleep with along with having retainers fixed at the back of your teeth to prevent your teeth reverting into their previous position. With Invisalign, you will be left with a great, natural looking smile to be proud of.
