Clear Aligners Islington

Clear aligners offer a discreet, convenient, and effective way to straighten your teeth and achieve a confident smile. Designed to fit seamlessly into your lifestyle, these custom-made, nearly invisible aligners provide a comfortable alternative to traditional braces. At Islington Green Dental, we’re here to help you transform your smile with clear aligners tailored to your needs.

What Are Clear Aligners?

Clear aligners are a series of transparent, removable trays made from medical-grade plastic that gradually move your teeth into their ideal positions. Using advanced digital technology, each aligner is custom-designed to fit your teeth and gently apply the right amount of pressure for effective results.

Clear aligners are ideal for treating various orthodontic issues, including:

  • Crooked or misaligned teeth
  • Gaps between teeth
  • Overbites, underbites, or crossbites

Benefits of Clear Aligners

Clear aligners offer several advantages, making them a popular choice for orthodontic treatment:

  • Discreet Appearance: Nearly invisible, so you can smile confidently throughout treatment.
  • Removable: Easy to take out for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing.
  • Comfortable: Smooth design minimizes irritation to gums and cheeks.
  • Convenient: Requires fewer dental visits compared to traditional braces.
  • Predictable Results: Advanced digital planning ensures precise and predictable outcomes.

The Clear Aligner Process

Straightening your teeth with clear aligners at Islington Green Dental is a simple and personalized process:

  1. Consultation: We’ll assess your smile, discuss your goals, and determine if clear aligners are right for you.
  2. Digital Scans: Using advanced 3D imaging, we’ll create a digital model of your teeth and plan your treatment.
  3. Custom Aligners: Your aligners will be fabricated to fit your teeth perfectly and guide them into position.
  4. Wearing Your Aligners: Wear each set of aligners for 1-2 weeks, as directed, before switching to the next set in the series.
  5. Monitoring Progress: Attend regular check-ups to ensure your treatment is on track.

Caring for Your Clear Aligners

To keep your aligners in excellent condition and maintain good oral hygiene:

  • Rinse and brush your aligners daily with a soft toothbrush and mild soap.
  • Store them in their case when not in use to avoid damage.
  • Avoid eating or drinking anything other than water while wearing them.
  • Clean your teeth thoroughly before putting your aligners back in.
