With regular check-ups, fluoride treatments to strengthen the teeth and fissure sealants to stop the teeth developing decay where children are biting, we believe that prevention is better than cure! The practice was established in 1950, so we also believe that we have a lot of experience and expertise when it comes to providing all things dental. As your children get older and into their teenage years, they may also require a treatment for realigning their smile and we have a discreet and convenient method of doing so for both teenagers and adults alike. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Invisalign smiles<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At our surgery we offer a solution for\nrealigning smiles using Invisalign. While our preventive treatments are\nsuitable from an early age for children\u2019s teeth Wimbledon<\/strong>,\nInvisalign is designed for patients with all of their adult teeth and there is\na special younger range for teenagers. Invisalign consists of aligners, which\nare worn over the teeth and apply pressure to move them into their correct\npositions. This process usually takes between 6 to 18 months and is a big hit\nwith teens, because when the aligners are being worn, they are virtually\ninvisible! It is because the aligners are made of clear plastic, so only the\nteeth should be visible to other people. This allows patients to feel confident\nabout wearing their aligners for at least 22 hours a day. This means that you\ndon\u2019t have to wear them when you are eating or cleaning your teeth. You should\nalso have time to take them out for playing sports or doing the twist – it\u2019s up\nto you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are the aligners uncomfortable to wear?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unsurprisingly, we get asked this a\nlot and we are pleased to tell you that the aligners should be very comfortable\nto wear thanks to the fact that we make them bespoke for your mouth. Using\niTero technology, we digitally scan your mouth and this gets us the precise\nmeasurements we need to have your aligners manufactured in the Invisalign\nlaboratory. Once fitted, the aligners then sit snugly on the gum line and once\nyou\u2019re used to them should be very comfortable. They shouldn\u2019t cause you any\npain at all. You will need to change your aligners regularly, and we will\nprovide you with enough aligners to switch between for 6 weeks, after which you\nwill need to have a check-up and get your next 6 weeks\u2019 worth of aligners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let the journey begin!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
