Is Invisalign a good option for me
Clear braces have fast become a popular choice by both adults and teens from all over the world. Here at Dee Kay Dental, you can opt to have clear braces in Sheffield to get a smile that you can feel confident about.
Commonly referred to as invisible braces or clear aligners, this choice provides patients with a range of treatment options that can help to align their upper or lower teeth and improve the overall appearance of their smile. Using modern wire technology, the fit is more comfortable and provides a discreet alternative to traditional metal braces. Invisalign Sheffield will effectively help to correct your teeth and treat moderate crowding and straightening with a subtle yet effective approach.
The process behind clear aligners
So, how does Invisalign Sheffield work? Unlike conventional metal brackets, wires or screws, a series of clear braces can be fitted directly onto your teeth in the place of traditional braces. The application can be completed within 30 minutes with no recovery time. Our dental practice will make sure that your clear braces fit your teeth correctly before they are permanently attached. In some cases, the braces can even be removed periodically; this is a great feature for those with an active lifestyle looking to have a shorter treatment time.
On an aesthetic level, the main difference between having invisible braces or metal braces fitted is how prominent your braces appear when smiling or engaging in conversation. Metal braces are usually grey in colour and appear more noticeable against the white background of your teeth.
Clear braces are also suitable for solving orthodontic crowding and any incidences of teeth gapping in adult patients. The overall look is discreet and works effectively to straighten uneven teeth.
Braces you can trust
The overall period of each operation differs depending on the state of your teeth, but invisible orthodontics are usually required to be worn by patients for around 6-18 months. The great news is that minor alignment issues can be resolved within a shorter time with as little as 6 months of wear. Clear braces have become a favourable solution for both teen and adult patients who find comfort in knowing they are barely visible and won’t have a major impact on their day-to-day life.
Pros of wearing clear braces
One of the advantages of wearing clear braces is that they are less noticeable than metal braces and help to boost levels of self-confidence. It’s even possible to have the clear brackets created to match the colour of your natural teeth as an added benefit.
Other advantages of opting for clear braces include the fact that they offer less interference with testing and are more comfortable than traditional metal braces as they use less force and modern wire technology.
Clear braces are highly effective and offer discretion when getting your teeth straightened. If you are looking to have Invisalign Sheffield fitted, feel free to call our office at any time to ask any questions you may have about the process or any other dental procedure. We will be happy to help.
