For those considering the Invisalign system to straighten your teeth, the first step is a consultation with one of our friendly, experienced Invisalign clinicians. They will take the time to fully examine your teeth and mouth, answer your questions and discuss your desired end results. They can then help you decide whether Invisalign is the right route for you. Our dentists will take impressions of your teeth from which your aligners will be custom made using advanced 3-D computer imaging technology. Using this technology, your entire treatment and individual tooth movements will be planned and you will be able to visualise your treatment from start to finish, through animated visuals to see what your smile will look like when treatment is complete.
If you’re interested to find out if a dental implant is a suitable treatment for you, one of our experienced clinicians will carry out a full assessment in order to make a recommendation about the most suitable course of action. This includes deciding whether a bone graft may be necessary prior to, or at the same time, as the implant treatment. Using our in-house CBCT scanner, we can accurately assess your jaw bone without you having to travel to London for these scans. Your dentist will also discuss the procedure with you and answer any questions you may have, as well as giving you plenty of time to decide if this is the right treatment for you.

This system is designed to apply gradual pressure to the teeth over time, moving them into the desired position. You will need to return to your dentist every 6 – 10 weeks so your progress can be checked and the wires adjusted as necessary. The total treatment time is usually around 18- 24 months, but this varies between patients and your dentist will discuss your individual timescale. As the brace is attached to your teeth it is essential that you maintain the very best levels of oral hygiene, to ensure there is no long-term marking or damage to the teeth. Therefore we recommend regular dental hygiene treatments, where you can also learn the best ways to care for your teeth and brace at home, as well as the foods you should look to avoid while undergoing treatment, which could get caught in or damage your brace.
The best dental advice ? Ensure that your diet is teeth-friendly! For most people, if not everybody, our primary reason for eating something is that it tastes good. But have we ever considered what this different foods or snacks do to our teeth? Foods such as nuts, fruits (such as apples), cheese, chicken and vegetables are teeth friendly. Something extra to know about cheese is that it causes your salivary gland to produce more saliva, which neutralizes acid.
Modern developments in dentistry mean that so many areas are constantly improving and evolving. When it comes to orthodontics treatment, gone are the days when the only way to straighten your smile was a large metal appliance fixed to the teeth. Today, new materials and techniques can achieve excellent results but in a much more subtle way. Read extra details on ceramic braces Hemel Hempstead.
