Smile of the Month – Invisalign isn’t just aesthetic

August’s Smile of the Month is in, and like many before it, the hero is Invisalign treatment.

But this time, we’re shining a light on an often overlooked aspect of Invisalign – its impact on your health.

Keith first came to us for a second opinion – his front teeth were worn and chipped, were getting worse, and he wanted to know what was possible.

He had a comprehensive assessment from yours truly, and together we discussed treatment options, with Keith option for Invisalign, which would help improve the positions of his teeth and treat the cause of the wearing.

It might seem a drastic move for a chipped tooth, but the analysis showed us that the teeth had moved over time, meaning that any restorative work would have failed, had we not moved the teeth into the right position.

The treatment began, and once they were in the right position, we carried out composite bonding to rebuild the chipped front teeth, and help protect them from further wear – a cost-effective way to protect and improve, and taking nothing natural away.

18 months later, and Keith’s smile was a very different story, and a great example of how Invisalign can help with more than just aesthetics – it also helps that Keith’s now got a smile he really likes too!
