Our dentist in Banbury will talk you through the process, show you how Invisalign can straighten your teeth and let you know of the many advantages that it can bring to your life.

Will people notice?

One of the main concerns people have about teeth straightening is drawing unwanted attention to their mouth. Invisalign straightens your teeth using a series of clear thermoplastic aligners. When worn in the mouth these are almost invisible, they are very unobtrusive. Most people will not notice that you are wearing invisalign aligners unless you wish to tell them.

Are my teeth too crooked for Invisalign?

To find out if Invisalign is the right option for you, you will undergo a thorough examination of your teeth and gums with our dentist in Banbury. You will also have a three-dimensional scan of your mouth that will create a digital image and show how your teeth need to move to create a neatly aligned formation. This will then be used to put together an Invisalign treatment plan for you. Ideally Invisalign is suited to mild or moderate misalignment issues of the teeth including crooked or wonky teeth, overlapping teeth, overcrowded teeth, small gaps in the teeth and bite disorders. Our dentist will make an informed decision for you and if we believe that you have complex issues that require further care, we will advise accordingly.

Does Invisalign hurt?

Invisalign is significantly more comfortable than other orthodontic treatments. This is because it uses plastic aligners as opposed to metal wires and brackets which can often feel uncomfortable in the mouth. The aligners may feel tight in your mouth to begin with, but this feeling should subside quickly. When moving on to the next aligner in the series it is best to do it at bedtime so that you wake up in the morning and your mouth is accustomed to the feeling.

Eating with Invisalign

The aligners need to be taken out of your mouth at mealtimes which means you can enjoy your favourite food and drink without any restrictions. Sometimes you may need to choose softer options rather than hard and chewy foods, but this will depend on your comfort levels and what you prefer at the time.

When comparing it to other orthodontic treatments, Invisalign has many advantages so speak to our dentist at Amsel & Wilkins today and let us put together an individually tailored treatment plan to help you straighten your teeth and achieve a beautiful new smile very soon.

Many people are concerned with the alignment of their teeth. Misalignment issues of the teeth can draw unwanted attention to your mouth, affect your self-confidence and cause a range of dental health issues. If you have crooked or wonky teeth it is important that as well as maintaining an excellent dental hygiene routine you visit the dentist at least once every 6 months. Perhaps more often if possible, to ensure that your teeth are clean and healthy and that you do not have excess plaque or tartar in the mouth. This is because a crooked smile is more prone to plaque and tartar building up on the surface of the teeth and underneath the gum line. The teeth are harder to clean and there are more places in which bacteria and food particles may linger causing bad breath, cavities, tooth decay and gum disease.
