Invisalign Treatment in Hednesford
Achieve a Perfect Smile with Invisalign in Hednesford, Staffordshire
Are you dreaming of a straighter smile but dread the idea of traditional braces?
Invisalign might be the perfect solution for you. Here at Valley Centre Dental Practice, we specialise in Invisalign treatment, offering a clear, comfortable, and convenient way to improve your smile.
Firstly, What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a modern teeth-straightening treatment that uses a series of custom-made, clear aligners to move your teeth into the ideal position gradually. These aligners are virtually invisible and are removable, making them a popular choice for adults and teens alike.
What Does the Invisalign Treatment Entail?
The process starts with a consultation, during which we take 3D digital scans of your teeth. Custom aligners are created specifically for your dental structure based on these scans. You’ll wear each set of aligners for about two weeks before moving to the next set, gradually shifting your teeth into place. Regular check-ins at our practice ensure your treatment is progressing as planned.
Why Consider Invisalign?
Patients often opt for Invisalign due to discomfort with the appearance of metal braces or the desire for a less noticeable orthodontic treatment. Common issues that Invisalign can address include:
- Crowded teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Overbites, underbites, and crossbites
- General misalignment
Gap Teeth
Gap teeth, called diastema, are extremely common. Some consider a gap between their teeth to be their signature feature. But, for others, spaced teeth can cause aesthetic concerns or even signal an underlying problem if the gap between teeth is getting bigger.
Overbite
An overbite is when the upper front teeth cover more of the lower front teeth than would usually be considered ‘ideal’. Dentists refer to overbite teeth as a type of malocclusion. Other types of malocclusions include underbites, crossbites and gap teeth (diastema).
OpenBite
If your upper and lower teeth don't touch when your mouth is closed, your doctor calls this an open bite.
Crossbite
When you bite down, do your top teeth position themselves inside your bottom teeth? If so, you may have what's known as a crossbite.
Crowded Teeth
If you have crowded teeth, you're not alone. In fact, teeth crowding is one of the most common orthodontic problems adults faces, affecting around 24% of women and 14% of men.
Underbite
An underbite is when you close your mouth and your lower front teeth are in front of your upper teeth. In many cases, this is actually a problem with your lower jaw being too far forward.
