Why you should choose Invisalign

It’s a common fact that as many as 40% of the British public are currently

unhappy with their teeth. Our teeth mean a lot to us as they’re visible

during almost all of our speech and expressions. If you’re unhappy with

crooked, misaligned, or just generally unappealing teeth, then the

chances are you’ve considered straightening them before. Many

adults, however, shy away from adult braces for fear of the dreaded ‘train

track’ appearance and instead think they must choose the metal braces

or nothing. This indeed is a myth and we’d like to introduce you to

Invisalign in Stourbridge.

What are clear aligners?

Invisalign is a tooth straightening system that does the job of braces but

looks nothing like them. In fact, they shun a lot of the traditional brace’s

negative characteristics to create a far superior patient journey. Invisalign

aligners are two separate trays – one for your top row of teeth, and one for the

lower that fit over your teeth. They’re custom-made to your mouth and

are therefore far more personalised as a tooth straightening system.

Invisalign takes traditional braces and turns all the negative stereotypes into

positives. For example, a lot of adults opt for Invisalign because the aligner

trays are clear. This means they’re incredibly discreet, allowing your

natural teeth to show through the plastic so that they don’t block your

smile. You’ll be pleased to know that there are no metal wires or brackets,

but instead, a smooth clear plastic that doesn’t infringe on your natural

expression and confidence.

Invisalign is indeed removable, they are not fused to your teeth with

dental adhesives, brackets, and wires, but instead fit over your teeth

rather like a gum shield albeit clear, more comfortable, and more

natural-looking gum shield. They can be taken out for important events

like meals, teeth cleaning and the occasional photo opportunity so that

you don’t find yourself limited to the close-lipped smile.

We have all heard about certain foods we must stay away from while

having our braces treatment but because Invisalign is removable, there is

no need to alter your meal times or skip over your favourites on the

dinner menu. Instead, you can simply remove the aligner, enjoy your meal,

clean your teeth and aligner and pop it back in when you’re done.

With that being said, Invisalign is the clear brace that have soared in

popularity here in Stourbridge and beyond. Here at Lion Dental, we provide

clear aligners to patients seeking a true teeth transformation.
