Cosmetic braces are similar, but are only attached to the\nfront 6 teeth and cannot correct more complicated misalignments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this article, we will be looking at invisible\nbraces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because\nat <strong>Dental Rooms<\/strong>, we know all about\ninvisible braces and can offer our suitable patients <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentalrooms.co.uk\/invisalign-wimbledon.html\">Invisalign in\nWimbledon<\/a>. Discreet, removable and easy to fit around daily life, it is one\nof our most popular braces. We have helped hundreds of patients get the\nstraighter smile they want using this brace, and you could be next! Perfect!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But you probably have some questions and you may\nhave heard some rumours which have made you a bit unsure about trying <strong>Invisalign in Wimbledon<\/strong>. Here, our team answers some of\nthese questions- enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Will it make my teeth yellow?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a word, no.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Invisalign in Wimbledon<\/strong> is made up from a set of aligners which are designed to be changed\nevery 2-3 weeks. And as the brace is removable, you are free to take it out to\nclean your teeth and the aligner, so there should be no associated yellowing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Does it only work on the top teeth?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No, this brace is designed to be worn on both the\nupper and lower set of teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no decrease in its ability to straighten\nteeth based on which set of teeth it is moving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Is it uncomfortable?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Initially, it may take some getting used to but\nthis brace is designed to be comfortable enough to sleep in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As it applies gentle pressure to your teeth to\ngradually move them, after each new aligner is put on, it may feel tight and\nuncomfortable. This is normal and should fade in a few days. In general, it is\nconsidered more comfortable than many other braces that are available for adult\northodontics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Can it correct an overbite?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This will depend on how severe the overbite is\nbut yes, this brace can correct minor to moderate overbites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your overbite is more severe than this brace\ncan effectively treat, our team at <strong>Dental\nRooms<\/strong> will be more than happy to suggest an alternative, discrete brace to\ncorrect the misalignment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How long will the realignment process take?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Again, this will depend on how severe the issue\nbeing treated is. Generally, this brand of invisible brace takes an average of\n6 &#8211; 9 months to work, but a full realignment may be completed in as little as 3\nmonths.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it comes to getting straighter teeth as an adult, there are now multiple options to achieve this.
