Looking great, getting straight teeth

In the modern world of teeth straightening, there’s no need to compromise on your professional image while you undergo treatment. If you have mild to moderate alignment issues, there’s a very good chance that you can get your smile straightened with a treatment that is so discreet, it might as well be invisible.

Invisalign in Luton uses a different method to straighten teeth. Instead of the usual bracket and wire technology that pulls teeth into their correct positions, Invisalign uses mouth guard-style aligners that push teeth into alignment.

There’s no fussing around with adhesives on your teeth or sore patches from sharp parts. With Invisalign in Luton, you get a series of aligners made out of smooth, clear plastic that are so thin that once they are in place over your teeth, no one can really see them.

How to get Invisalign in Luton

The first thing to do is book yourself a consultation with us at Vogue Dental Care. Our Invisalign dentist will make a thorough examination of your teeth.

They will use a scanner to take detailed images of your teeth, which we build up into a 3D image on a nearby screen. We can view your teeth from all angles and even show you how they will be moved to line up properly.

If you go ahead with treatment, you will receive a series of aligners. You wear one after the other. Each one will feel as though it doesn’t quite fit. This is due to the carefully placed pressure points that press on your teeth until they shift out of the way. It takes 7-10 days for this to happen, and then, when your aligner feels like it fits, you take it out and put the next one in.

The aligners are removable. You take them out to eat and drink, and also to brush your teeth. Aside from these times, it’s important to wear your aligners no matter what else is going on. Teeth need sustained pressure to move and if you keep leaving your aligners out, the process is interrupted and your overall treatment time will slip out of schedule.
