Adult teeth straightening is actually a really intimidating thing, well it can be. The thought of going back to those insecure, teenage, anxiety-filled days with braces can be enough to put anyone off. However, we at Smile Dental Care Glasgow believe that adult orthodontic treatment doesn’t need to feel like that anymore. There are some amazing systems easily accessible now that mean people are far more likely to be able to find a way of straightening that isn’t going to disrupt their lives in a big way and one of these systems is Invisalign in Glasgow.
What is Invisalign in Glasgow?
Invisalign has actually been around for a fair few years now, but has rapidly grown in popularity in line with how much social media and smartphones have grown in popularity. There have been hundreds of influencers and celebrities proudly flashing their Invisalign in Glasgow smiles, normalising adult teeth straightening for the masses, which we at Smile Dental couldn’t be more pleased about. We want all patients to feel comfortable in their smiles when beginning their straightening process. At the end of the day we all have to start somewhere and why is getting your teeth straightened any different to starting out on any other journey?
Feeling the fear
And doing it anyway! One of the biggest hurdles to overcome as an adult teeth straightener is combatting what you think other people might say about it, or even just the looks that you might get from colleagues or peers. But let’s be honest, people are very consumed with their own insecurities and it’s highly unlikely any of them will overthink you changing your smile. In fact there are probably a fair few others in your office who wished they had the bottle to change their smile as adults too!
Fear is natural, it’s one of the most human things we can feel. Everyone just wants to fit in, but everything is scary when it’s new. However, after a few sessions in a new gym or a couple of days at a new school, or a week in a new job the butterflies settle and new becomes the new normal – adult braces are no different from this.
Why Invisalign can help
The excellent thing about Invisalign is that the aligners are designed to fit into our lifestyles. They adapt to us, not us to them. Other than having to take them out at meal times your life can continue just as it was prior to starting your orthodontic treatment. They’re totally removable so cleaning is simple, they’re comfortable so you shouldn’t be experiencing too much irritation and of course they’re super subtle when you’re wearing them, so you won’t need to worry about your new braces sticking out in the boardroom.
If you’d like to learn more about Invisalign aligners and check if you’re a good patient for them, then book in to see us for an initial consultation and we’ll get the process under way for you. Once you’ve started your Invisalign journey you won’t want to look back – we promise.
