Do you feel self-conscious about your smile? You are not alone. At 61 Dental, we appreciate that it can be embarrassing to smile if you have crooked teeth. This can happen for a number of reasons, from natural changes in your jawbone as you age to previously straightened teeth shifting back to their former crooked positions..

At 61 Dental, we are happy to offer Invisalign cosmetic braces and other discreet teeth straightening treatments for adults. While traditional braces may be the only solution for a few patients with serious dental issues, Invisalign clear braces in Stockport can help you achieve a straight, beautiful smile without the need for metal braces.

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a modern teeth straightening system, which consists of a series of transparent, removable, plastic trays. Your dentist will provide you with a new set of aligners every 2 weeks and although you can remove them for eating and cleaning your teeth, you have to wear them for at least 22 hours per day. You will likely need to wear the aligners for 6 to 12 months, but each case is different. Your Stockport dentist can determine how long you will need to wear the aligners.

Benefits of Invisalign, clear braces

The biggest advantage of Invisalign over other teeth straightening treatments is the discretion it offers. The clear aligners are virtually invisible, therefore, no one will ever have to know that you are having your teeth straightened.

More importantly, unlike traditional braces which are fixed, Invisalign braces are removable. They can be taken out for eating, brushing and flossing your teeth. As such, you can enjoy your favourite foods without having to worry about food particles getting trapped around the brackets and wires of metal braces. Finally, treatment with Invisalign is easy to fit into a busy schedule, since you will only need to visit your dentist for a quick check-up once a month or so.

Is Invisalign right for you?

Generally, if you are a teenager or adult with healthy teeth and gums, you are probably eligible for Invisalign treatment. If you are interested in Invisalign clear braces in Stockport, contact 61 Dental today, and our experienced dentists will guide you through your treatment.

Are you an adult who would like straighter teeth, but don’t want to have everyone commenting on your dental journey for months on end?If so, you’ll be glad to hear that you can have the teeth you’ve always wanted, without the attention you don’t want.

When you come to see us for braces in Stockport, we can give you detailed information during your free consultation. For now, here is an overview to help you get to grips with the basics:

How Invisalign aligners work

Invisalign clear aligners differ from the more well-known bracket and wire braces systems. Aligners are transparent plastic trays, rather like mouth guards, which slide snugly over your teeth. These trays are so thin that it is almost impossible to see them.

Each patient has aligners made specifically for them, from impressions that we take here and then send off to the Invisalign laboratory in the USA. The lab also uses information sent by us to calculate the path your teeth need to travel along to reach their required alignment. The laboratory makes an aligner tray for each step. Each one is slightly differently from the previous one, marking another step along the journey your teeth will take. The pressure created from each slight change in your aligner design is what nudges your teeth along their path.

You need to wear each aligner for about 2 weeks before moving on to the next one. You will need somewhere between 12 to 48 aligners, depending on your specific needs.

In Stockport, braces for adults have another great benefit. Invisalign aligners are removable. This makes them much easier to keep clean and that goes for your teeth too. The aligners should, however, be worn for at least 20 hours a day, every day, for the quickest results. You can however leave them off entirely for a few hours if you have to attend an important social or professional event.

Would you like to straighten your teeth but the thought of having conspicuous metal braces is holding you back? If the answer is yes, then we have alternative solutions for you.

Nowadays, when it comes to teeth straightening you have a lot of different options besides metal braces. At 61 Dental in Stockport, we appreciate that fixed metal braces are not particularly well-suited to a professional adult lifestyle. That’s why we are pleased to offer more discreet treatments for aligning your teeth.

Explore your options for aligners and braces in Stockport

At our Stockport dental practice we offer Invisalign clear aligners and Incognito lingual braces. Both treatments have their advantages and are suited to different types of tooth misalignment. Here’s a quick look at what each of these subtler solutions for teeth straightening have to offer.

Invisalign

Invisalign straightens your teeth using a custom-made series of clear aligners.Your dentist will carefully plan out how each aligner will shift your teeth along to their final straighter positions.Wearing the aligners and replacing them ever two weeks, will gradually move your teeth into place.

Invisalign is removable, which means the trays can be taken out for eating, drinking and cleaning your teeth. Invisalign can treat gaps between your teeth, moderately crooked and crowded teeth as well as cross bites. However it can not treat the most severe cases of tooth and jaw misalignments.

Incognito

Incognito braces, also known as lingual braces, are one of the most discreet teeth straightening treatments available today. They are fixed on the tongue side of the teeth, virtually out of sight. Similar to metal braces, they are connected by a wire that helps move your teeth into their final positions.

Incognito braces may require longer treatment times compared to ceramic or traditional braces.Treatment can take anywhere from 18 to 36 months. These braces can treat a wide range of issues, but are not appropriate for every dental condition. Our experienced dentist will help you determine whether this treatment will be the most effective one in your particular case.

Braces take a while to work even if you only need minor treatment. They also entail multiple visits to our clinic in Stockport. Braces also need to be integrated into your life during this time.

Moving teeth creates sensation for you – this is unavoidable. However, we do our best to prepare you and to make changes as gently as possible. When you do experience discomfort, you can take ordinary painkillers to alleviate your symptoms. They will fade quickly as your body gets used to the pressure applied by your braces.

Amidst the bustle of Christmas preparations, people are quietly thinking about what they want to achieve in the coming year. New Year’s resolutions are a powerful tradition for personal change. Common areas that people focus on are moving house, changing jobs and improving their health and wellbeing. More and more of us are choosing a subtler form of confidence lift: our smile. In Stockport, braces are a great way to get that beautiful smile.

People who have actively suppressed their smile because they were ashamed of their wonky teeth, find themselves smiling so much more often when they have invested in having their teeth straightened. The knock-on benefits are wide-ranging. People find themselves making unexpected new friends, having smoother interactions in daily life and simply grinning at people on the bus or train.

If you see your issue as being crowded, crooked or misaligned teeth, but without the more serious problems of a misaligned bite (the way your jaws meet together), then at 61 Dental in Stockport, braces are available in various systems to straighten them:

• Invisalign is a system that uses clear resin moulds that fit snugly over your teeth and gently nudge them along a journey to their desired position. The great benefits of Invisalign is that the aligners are very thin and almost invisible, and they are also removable, for cleaning and eating.

• The Inman Aligner is designed to straighten crowded or protruding front teeth, and is a great choice if you plan to go on to have these teeth veneered. The nickel titanium coil springs power two aligner bows that gently oppose each other, guiding the teeth into their new position. These gentle forces are active over a very large range of movement, which is why the Inman Aligner works so quickly.

• Quick Straight Teeth works only on the front six ‘social’ teeth for mild misalignments. The fixed braces use clear ceramic brackets and tooth-coloured wires that make the braces almost unnoticeable. The braces use minimal force, reducing discomfort to a minimum.

Metal braces were once the only option for people who wanted to straighten and realign their teeth. Fortunately, there are now many subtler appliances available, and 61 Dental in Stockport offers both fixed and removable devices to give you that beautifully-aligned smile you’ve always dreamt of.

As well as the obvious aesthetic benefits of teeth-straightening treatment, the use of braces or aligners also brings some bonus health benefits. These include making it easier to maintain your dental hygiene – simply because it’s easier to clean your teeth when they are better aligned – and improving the way that you bite and chew food, avoiding excessive wear and tear on specific teeth.

At our Stockport dental practice we offer treatment with both fixed braces and removable aligners. To find the best treatment option to suit your needs, you will need an in-depth consultation with a dentist here at our Stockport clinic. They will carry out a thorough examination to ascertain which appliance will work best in your individual case.
