Family Dental Care: A Dentist in Doncaster East to make you smile!

If you have been worrying about having misaligned teeth, Family Dental Care is a Dentist in Doncaster East that can help with a discrete and direct method of realigning your teeth.

Misaligned teeth can cause people to feel anxious; we understand that this can happen. Many patients do not seek help for fear that they will be told they need to wear fixed metal braces and, whether you’re a teenager or an adult, the thought is not the most attractive! There is a light at the end of the tunnel if you have mild to moderate alignment issues, though, thanks to our treatment, Invisalign.

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a method of realigning your teeth using clear plastic aligners. When they are worn, the aligners apply a gentle pressure to the teeth and this gradually moves them into the correct position. The aligners are made to fit your mouth precisely, thanks to the iTero technology that is used to scan your mouth and from which the measurements are taken. There is also a 3D animation that can be generated from this to show you what your teeth will look like after the treatment has been completed. It’s clever stuff!

Why should I choose Invisalign?

As the name suggests, when you are wearing the aligners they are almost invisible as your teeth are all that will be on show through the clear plastic. Friends and family will have no idea what’s going on as you steadily get a better smile – unless you tell them, of course! They are also removable for up to 2 hours a day, which means you can take them out when you are brushing and flossing, so you can keep up with your normal oral hygiene care. You will also be able to take them out at mealtimes and you won’t have to clean them up from having any food on them. It also means that you can eat whatever you want, so no restricted diets for you!

Another benefit that we like to mention about Invisalign is the fact that you won’t be having to visit us for emergency appointments very often – if at all. This can be a real time-saver for patients with busy lives. Other alignment treatments can involve metal brackets and wires which are far more prone to breaking than plastic, so you can be fairly confident that you won’t have to see us too much (even though we love seeing you!) In fact, you will be provided with sets of aligners to take home and change between on a weekly basis, so we will only need to see you every 6 weeks for a checkup and to give you more aligners to take home.

What to do next
