Giving you the right bite!
How your teeth have grown in your mouth affects how you chew, if they are not aligned correctly you may experience difficulty chewing your food. You may also find that you have difficulty pronouncing certain words and your teeth may suffer from aggressive wear. Using Invisalign in Glasgow we can skillfully manage tooth movement so that they are brought into alignment. Giving you the correct bite is our priority and with our expertise in the area of cosmetic dentistry we will give you a smile that works practically and aesthetically.
Get help early!
The best time to get dental misalignment or malocclusion treatment, as it is known, is as young as possible. As a parent you have the responsibility of getting your child’s oral hygiene and care off to a good start as soon as possible. We are so committed to helping patients correct their dental misalignment conditions that we even provide a first treatment without charge. We will examine your mouth and advise you of our findings and the best possible treatment. We encourage you to ask questions to help you to get all the information that you need. The rest is up to you, we do not pressure you into making a decision and we leave it up to you. Of course, the sooner that you start treatment the better for you and the sooner you will enjoy having straighter teeth.
A radically different approach!
Malocclusion has been corrected for decades by using a metal dental brace which uses blocks, wires and bands to gradually move your teeth until they are in the desired position. Invisalign in Glasgow employs a different technique by creating what looks very much like gumshields which the manufacturers refer to as trays. These trays fit over your teeth and are made of a clear thermoplastic. This makes them difficult to detect and they can also be removed to brush, floss and to eat and drink. The system involves creating a number of these trays, each with a slightly different shape. They are worn sequentially so that the work that one has done to move your teeth into a certain position is continued by the next one until they have moved your teeth to the next position and so on. The number of trays depends on your dental condition. Each tray must be worn for at least twenty-two hours per day and for between two and three weeks until the next tray.
See your smile before and after
The equipment that has been developed in conjunction with Invisalign is quite remarkable and the 3D scanner images, combined with some clever computer hardware and software, allows us to show you the results treatment will have on your smile before beginning. Once your treatment is completed you will need to wear a retainer to hold your teeth in place while they settle. Then you can face the world and happily express your joy with a wide, confident smile.
