Invisalign in Glasgow: invisible aligners for beautiful smiles

When people have misaligned teeth, it can make them feel self-conscious or have low self-esteem, yet some people avoid having treatment to realign their smiles. Some people do not want to have visible braces, worrying that others will see them or because they think they could be uncomfortable to wear.

At Buttercup 7 Day Dental, we have a discreet and comfortable solution for addressing mild to moderate alignment issues. Invisalign in Glasgow is a treatment that many of our patients opt for, preferring to have virtually invisible aligners in their mouths, which can be removed for two hours a day.

How do the aligners work?

Invisalign’s aligners are made of transparent plastic and must be worn over the teeth. When they are worn, they push the teeth into the desired positions. The aligners need to be changed every couple of weeks, and we provide patients with enough to use for six weeks, after which we then have a checkup appointment and provide more for the following six weeks. The process can take 6 to 18 months on average, although in some cases, results can be achieved in as little as four months.

What are the benefits of Invisalign in Glasgow?

Invisalign in Glasgow is a preferred treatment for many patients because they are keen to have discreet aligners. But, it’s not just about the fact they are virtually invisible when they are worn. Other benefits of Invisalign include the ability to remove them for a couple of hours a day; this means that you don’t need to wear them when you are eating, so you can continue to choose any food you fancy – nothing is off the menu! Avoiding hard foods for fear of breaking your aligners won’t be an issue. Since they are made of plastic, the aligners are very difficult to break, so you shouldn’t need to take time off work or miss school to visit us for emergency appointments.

Another great thing about Invisalign is that the aligners can be custom-made for you. They will fit your mouth with precision, thanks to the iTero technology that we use here at Buttercup 7 Day Dental. This is a digital scan that we use to obtain the measurements of your mouth to have your aligners manufactured in the Invisalign laboratory. Once they are fitted, the aligners should sit comfortably on your gum line, and in a matter of months, you could have your new smile.

A healthier you

For some patients, alignment issues can cause jaw pains and difficulties with speaking or chewing, and this can affect their self-esteem. Thankfully, getting your teeth realigned should resolve these problems as well as enable you to clean your teeth efficiently once they are in the optimum positions.

There’s always time for you

If you are concerned that you don’t have enough time to pop in for a visit, this isn’t something you have to worry about at Buttercup 7 Day Dental. We are open for evening appointments on certain days, plus we are open seven days a week. We understand that getting treatment will enable you to have a healthy smile, and we want to ensure that our patients always have time for their health. With a vast range of treatments, you also shouldn’t need to go anywhere else (we’d miss you!). So, if you’re ready to meet a dental practice with a difference, it’s time to come and see us when you have the time because we’ve always got time for you!
