You are not alone! Thanks to many older people seeking orthodontic treatments that have a more discreet appearance than the traditional metal braces, there are now many ways for you to get that striking smile that you deserve.

And when you come to Dental Rooms, our team can help! With our in-depth knowledge of all things adult orthodontic related, we can offer you the world-famous Invisalign in Wimbledon. Discrete, removable and easy to use, this is one of our most popular adult braces! Brilliant!

But before you rush off to book your consultation with us, you will probably want to know a bit more about Invisalign in Wimbledon. Here, our dental team answers 5 of the most commonly asked questions we receive about this invisible brace. Enjoy!

What is it and how does it work?

Invisalign in Wimbledon is classed as an invisible brace; it is made from clear but malleable plastic and is custom-fitted to slot over your teeth.

Our team will take a scan of your teeth to then determine how many aligners are needed to move them from their current position to the new one that you want. Once the braces arrive back at our surgery, you will put your first one in and begin your journey to a straighter smile. Simple!

Can anyone use it?

While many of our patients are suited to using this brace, there are some exclusion criteria.

Firstly, you must have top-notch oral health to begin your treatment. Secondly, our team must assess your suitability; if you have a more complex misalignment then it is unlikely that you will benefit.

But as this brace is now able to treat a wider range of dental issues, it is worth contacting our team to determine your suitability. It can even treat overbites, overcrowding and spacing issues!

Is it uncomfortable? Will it need tightening?

As this brace uses specifically shaped aligners that slot over your unique teeth and moves them gently into position, it will not need tightening.

However, for the first couple of days after you change aligners, there may be some pressure on your teeth; this is totally normal. Depending on your individual pain threshold, you may find this manageable or may require over the counter pain relief.

If you are concerned about the discomfort you are experiencing at any time, contact our team.

How long will I wear it for?

The amount of time that you will need to wear the aligners for will depend on the severity of the condition being treated. But this brace offers a faster treatment time over traditional metal ones, with the majority of patients only requiring it for an average of six months. Fast, huh?

Is it expensive?

Many of our patients have had concerns over the price of this procedure but fear not!

At Dental Rooms, we can offer suitable patients 0% finance. You will need to pay a small initial fee, but this is designed to help you spread the cost of treatment into affordable monthly chunks. Great stuff!
