Invisalign in Edgware – Worth the Investment? Yes Or No?

If you’ve been scanning for what’s hot in the orthodontic market right now, it’s highly likely you’ll have come across Invisalign in Edgware. Over the last ten years, Invisalign has soared in popularity, with more and more people opting for this straightening system over traditional methods. The only downfall is that Invisalign is not available on the NHS. So, is Invisalign in Edgware worth those pennies? We at Katz and Madhok Orthodontics have dug into the facts to find out for you.

Just in Case…

Just in case you aren’t 100% clear on what Invisalign in Edgware is exactly, let’s go through the basics. Invisalign is a brand of clear plastic trays that sit snugly over the teeth; they work using a pressure system much like that of traditional braces. When you are fitted with your first set of aligners, you will be given the next set and so on and so forth. You must wear one set for a couple of weeks, and then once that stage has been completed, you can move on to the next. Easy peasy!

The Benefits

Here are all the reasons our team at Katz and Madhok Orthodontics thinks Invisalign is worth the investment.

NUMBER ONE – CLEAR AND COOL

At the end of the day, the important thing about going through orthodontic treatment is that you achieve straight teeth that you’re happy with, and we want to make it very clear that we love and support all orthodontic options. But one great thing about Invisalign is that if you are someone who feels self-conscious about straightening their teeth with Invisalign, you’re far less likely to have anyone notice that you’re wearing them. Invisalign aligners are designed to look and feel subtle when worn and are hardly noticeable. If you’re worried about flashing your new braces in the boardroom, this really won’t be any issue.

NUMBER TWO – CLEAN AND CLEVER

One thing we can say very honestly is that those who opt for fixed brace are more likely to finish orthodontic treatments with some form of gum disease or even decay than those wearing Invisalign. That’s not to say you will surely get gum disease or decay if you have wired braces. It’s just that gums are much harder to clean properly when fixed braces are being worn.

Invisalign aligners can be removed, meaning that you can take them out to ensure you are still maintaining a good oral hygiene routine that contains best practices like the use of interdental brushes and flossing. Though the aligners aren’t really designed with this in mind, it’s one of the stand-out features.

NUMBER THREE – COMFY AND CELERITY

Invisalign is just comfy; they are soft against the gums and tongue and don’t put high levels of pressure against the teeth in order to make them move. If you’re someone with low discomfort tolerance, these could be right for you. Finally, they’re quick; now, this depends on how much moving there is to do, but some patients can be done and dusted with Invisalign within six months! Yes, please.
