At Amsel & Wilkins, we know that our patients don’t want to be referred elsewhere for more specialised treatments; they want to stay right here with us, where they feel safe and secure and have chosen to be! This is why we offer an extensive range of dental treatments to suit all of your needs, including general dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, restorative treatments, and orthodontic care. We even offer facial aesthetic treatments to ensure that your overall look is amazing. So, if you’re looking for a dentist in Banbury to take care of you unconditionally, then you need to come to see us at Amsel & Wilkins. One of our popular dental treatments is Invisalign, which is used to correct mild to moderate alignment problems, such as crossbites, gapped or crowded teeth, and overbites or underbites.

How Invisalign works

If you can imagine a gumshield, then think of Invisalign as clear plastic aligners that can be worn over your teeth in the same way. However, the aligners are more streamlined, as they can be custom-made for your mouth. The amazing thing is that the aligners should be almost invisible as your teeth should be the only thing visible through the transparent plastic. At Amsel & Wilkins, we use an iTero digital scan to get the measurements for your aligners to be made in the Invisalign laboratory because your aligners will have to provide excellent care, where precision will deliver the best results. When you wear your aligners, they will press against your teeth to push them into the desired positions; this movement will occur in around 6 to 18 months. You will need to switch between the aligners our dentist in Banbury provides you for six weeks before coming in for checkups; it’s as easy as that!

Why you want it

If you’re unsure whether this is the right treatment for you, it’s certainly worth considering the benefits of choosing Invisalign. By opting for this treatment, you will be able to wear the aligners and continue with your life. You won’t have to wear the aligners during mealtimes, so you can eat easily, without having to avoid hard foods, for example, that could damage them. You will also be able to take them out before brushing your teeth so that you can maintain excellent oral hygiene standards, reducing the chances of any oral health issues as a result of having to wear an appliance. You will also be able to have other benefits, such as being able to clean your teeth better once your teeth are aligned, as they will be in the optimum position for doing so. You could also find that your ability to chew tough foods improves and that any jaw pain you have reduces. Furthermore, realigning your teeth could even improve your speech, so it’s not all just about getting that beautiful Hollywood smile!
