Invisalign for a more beautiful smile
Misaligned teeth can be uncomfortable, embarrassing and can affect the way you feel about your smile. Most adults shy away from conventional orthodontic braces because they are embarrassed about the metal brackets and wires being on show. To tackle this issue, dentists have developed Invisalign. Invisalign is a treatment that uses transparent orthodontic aligners, individually tailored and metal-free; they are instead a plastic form of dental braces. The treatment works by using a series of aligners each one designed to precisely fit your teeth and move them by 0.25 mm per two weeks by which time you then move on to the next aligner in the series. This continues until your teeth have reached their desired positions. Speak to your dentist in Upper Heyford to find out more about how Invisalign can help you transform your smile discreetly and comfortably today.
Composite bonding in cosmetic dentistry
Composite bonding is another form of cosmetic dentistry which is designed to disguise minor imperfections in your teeth. Composite bonding helps the aesthetics of your teeth and restores minor damage to the tooth structure. Composite bonding involves attaching a very thin but strong layer of resin to the front of your tooth to help cover chips or gaps in your tooth, reshape the tooth or disguise discolouration and staining of the tooth whilst keeping the original tooth itself. Composite bonding increases the strength and durability of your tooth whilst improving its aesthetics also.
