Teeth Straightening Kilwinning
Crooked, crowded, gappy, or protruding teeth are not something you need to live with. These issues not only impact your confidence, they can also cause practical problems in your day-to-day life. Misaligned teeth are harder to clean, making them more prone to decay. They can also affect your gums and jaw, causing significant discomfort and pain.
Many people still picture the metal ‘train track’ braces of their youth when they picture teeth straightening, but things have moved on. At Main Street Dental we offer Invisalign, the world-famous clear aligner system that offers a modern, nearly invisible alternative to traditional braces.
How Invisalign works
The Invisalign process starts with a consultation, where we’ll discuss your goals and take digital images and impressions of your teeth. From this, we map out an individual treatment plan, and send the information to the lab to create your first set of custom aligners.
When your aligners are ready, you’ll start wearing them to gently begin shifting your teeth into place. The aligners are made of clear, thin plastic, fitting over your teeth like a mouth guard and applying slight pressure to move your teeth gradually. You should wear your aligners as much as possible, removing them only to eat, brush, and floss.
Every two weeks, you’ll switch to a new set of aligners, each one slightly different from the last, progressively moving your teeth towards their ideal position. Regular check-ups every six weeks will ensure your treatment is on track.
Why Choose Invisalign
Invisalign is a comfortable and discreet option to straighten your teeth without metal brackets and wires. The aligners are almost invisible, allowing you to maintain your natural smile throughout the treatment. Plus, you can remove them to enjoy your favourite foods and maintain your oral hygiene routine without restrictions.
Our focus is on creating harmony for your teeth, jaws, and face. By concentrating on the bigger picture, we achieve not just straight teeth but also a healthy bite, an enhanced appearance, and long-lasting results.
