Invisalign in Glasgow: Buttercup 7 Day Dental explains all

Do you have misaligned teeth that you’d rather not show off to the world in the umpteenth photograph that your friend’s camera phone has tried to snap, like a well-meaning member of the paparazzi? Do you actively avoid social gatherings or smiling freely at them? Or do you agonise in front of the mirror wondering how you could change the appearance of your teeth? If so, you may have looked for a solution and heard about Invisalign in Glasgow. Invisalign is an exciting way of realigning teeth with removable clear plastic aligners that are almost invisible! At Buttercup, we offer Invisalign 7 days a week. Our practice is open every day, including evenings in the week, to fit in with your lifestyle and to make it as easy as possible to pursue the smile you crave.

What is Invisalign?

When patients explore the options for realigning their teeth, finding out that Invisalign in Glasgow is a possible treatment can be a dream come true. Invisalign is a comfortable solution to teeth straightening. The reason for this is that the aligners are made to measure, bespoke to your mouth, and so they fit along the gum line extremely well. The aligners apply a gentle amount of pressure to gradually move your teeth into the desired position over a period of time.

What are the benefits of Invisalign?

There are a number of benefits. The main one is the fact that they are discreet and hardly noticeable when they are being worn. This is a big difference to metal braces which are clearly visible and can be embarrassing for adults to wear. The clear plastic of Invisalign aligners means that they are also comfortable, as well as discreet, and are far less likely to break than metal wires and brackets. What’s more, the aligners can be removed when you are brushing and flossing, allowing you to maintain your oral healthcare routine. You can even remove them for sports or special occasions. We recommend you wear them for 22 hours a day, so there is plenty of time for the odd hour off here and there.

What do I need to do first?

The first thing you need to do is to come and visit us for a free consultation. During this consultation, we will happily answer as many questions as you have. At Buttercup, we don’t want you to feel rushed; we want you to spend the time you need to understand the treatment and feel confident in what you are opting for. We will need to give your mouth an examination and we will take X-rays to ensure that this is the right treatment for you. From here, if Invisalign is for you, we will get your aligners made-to-measure. Invisalign is the most advanced clear aligner system in the world, so you can be sure you’re getting the very best with us.

At Buttercup, we care about your happiness and with Invisalign, we know that we can help you to feel better about your smile in as little as 12 to 18 months, depending on your individual needs, and we’ll be with you every step of the way. So what are you waiting for?
