Fixing crooked smiles with Invisalign Sheffield
If you are thinking about improving the appearance of your smile then you need to speak to us at Dee Kay Dental and find out about the different cosmetic dental treatments that are available for you. Cosmetic dental treatment can help correct many different types of dental problems. One of the main issues that can affect the appearance of a smile is that of crooked teeth. Crooked and uneven teeth are more common than you think. On social media we only see beautiful, white, straight smiles, but in reality the majority of the public suffer from a certain extent of misalignment, which means their teeth are at least slightly imperfect.
If your teeth are misaligned then you need to speak to us at the practice and we will carry out a smile assessment and find out which treatments are most suitable for you. One of the most popular teeth straightening options, not only at Dee Kay Dental but across the world, is Invisalign Sheffield. Invisalign Sheffield is a modern method of straightening your teeth. It is different to traditional braces which are made of metal wires and brackets, devices a whole generation of children wore to straighten their teeth. Over the last few years teeth straightening is commonly carried out using clear aligners systems such as Invisalign Sheffield.
Modern teeth straightening with clear aligners
Invisalign has pioneered clear aligners. Clear aligners have replaced the metal wires and brackets of traditional braces in many cases to straighten teeth. Invisalign continues to grow in popularity because it allows you to straighten your teeth without anyone even knowing that you are undergoing any form of dental treatment. The aligners are almost invisible which makes them ideal for teenagers who are often self-conscious and concerned about drawing unwanted attention to their mouth. They are also ideal for adults who are embarrassed by wearing braces as a grown-up.
We will carry out a full examination of your teeth and gums making sure that there are no dental health issues. If there are then these need to be addressed before we can begin straightening your teeth. This includes issues such as tooth decay and gum disease. Once these conditions are put right then it is safe to straighten your teeth. We will design a set of clear aligners that will work together in a sequence to correct your teeth.
This may take between 6 to 18 months depending on how crooked your smile is to begin with. For those with very simple issues such as a minor gap between the front two teeth or slightly protruding front teeth, you should be able to complete the treatment within six months. Once you have straightened your teeth not only will you have a beautiful brand-new smile, but you will also be able to look after your teeth more effectively and enjoy better dental health in the future. Also Invisalign has its very own retainer system which stops your teeth from moving back and helps you maintain your brand-new smile for the rest of your life.
