Why so many adults are getting Invisalign Sheffield

For many adults, the idea of getting teeth straightening treatment is daunting. More often than not, they will end up pushing it to the back of their mind and tolerate their crooked teeth instead. Usually, it is because they don’t like the idea of wearing a metal appliance and committing to lengthy treatment, which is why we offer our patients the chance to transform their smile with a discreet appliance that has a shorter treatment time.

Here at Dee Kay Dental, you can opt to have Invisalign Sheffield and transform your smile in as little as six months. More than this though, you won’t have to worry about having any metal appliances permanently fixed to your teeth. If you have been tolerating crooked, uneven or gapped front teeth for far too long, then we urge you to make an appointment with one of our practitioners to see whether this treatment could improve the appearance of your smile.

A treatment that is barely noticeable

When you get Invisalign Sheffield, you will be given a series of clear aligners to wear that are removable. Unlike other appliances that must be permanently attached to the front surfaces of your teeth, these aligners will sit comfortably over the top of your teeth and can be taken out easily. Made from thin, clear plastic, these aligners are barely noticeable, and unless you point out your treatment to others, they may not even notice.

You should be able to speak normally and should not be in any prolonged discomfort. When you start to wear each new set of aligners, they may feel a little tight at first, but your teeth should soon adjust to them. Our practitioner will give you a few sets of aligners at a time, and you will have to attend regular appointments to ensure that your treatment is working properly.

Short treatment times with long-lasting results

Sometimes, adults are not bothered about having a slightly crooked smile until they have a reason to want to straighten it. This could be something such as a wedding or a work event, but the short treatment time that Invisalign Sheffield has means that getting your smile photo-ready for these events is more than achievable. Traditional straightening treatments can take up to 24 months to complete, but with the help of your aligners, you will be completely finished with your treatment in about 6-12 months.

You need to make sure that you wear your aligners properly if you wish to have your treatment work effectively, but you should also remember to remove them before eating or brushing your teeth. We recommend that you do not consume anything other than water whilst wearing your aligners as this could damage them. You must ensure that you wear your aligners for a minimum of 22 hours a day and that they are worn in the correct order. You should also resist the temptation to skip a set of aligners or move to a new set sooner as this could actually impede your treatment.
