When you are an adult looking to undertake orthodontic treatment, you would want to know what benefits any brace or aligner will offer before contacting your dentist.
In years gone by, the only way to successfully get a straighter smile in your adult years using orthodontic tools was to use a standard fitted brace. But this presents obvious setbacks for many adults as it is not exactly a discreet option, and it can be hard to clean. If you have a mild to moderate misalignment, you may be suitable for invisible aligners, which our team at Chelsea & Fulham Dentist can offer you.
At Chelsea & Fulham Dentist, we are committed to ensuring that you get the smile you want. Therefore, for the majority of our adult patients, we are happy to offer Invisalign Chelsea, which is one of the most popular invisible aligners available.

Faster
You may assume that undertaking orthodontic treatment with Invisalign Chelsea will be time-consuming. However, for the majority of dental patients who use this aligner, the average treatment time is between 3 to 6 months. When compared to the standard 36 months of a fitted orthodontic brace, Invisalign presents an obvious improvement in treatment time, allowing you to use this aligner in preparation for an important event like a wedding.
Easy to wear
The aligner itself is made from a clear plastic material and can be custom-fitted to slot over your teeth. It is, in many ways, very similar to a mouthguard in its appearance and fit, and most patients who wear it report that it is easy to wear in their daily lives. As it is made from clear plastic, Invisalign aligners also offer visual discretion, which many dental patients require from their orthodontic tools, especially if they have jobs that require them to talk in public, such as giving lectures or teaching.
Easy to clean
If you ever had a friend who wore a fixed brace, you may remember them needing to clean it almost all the time; however, this is not the case with invisible aligners. Invisible aligners are removable and, therefore, easier to clean. You simply rinse them under a cold water tap and remove any debris from the aligner using a soft-bristled brush. As tempting as it is, you should not rinse your aligner under hot water as this can warp the plastic.
Fewer checkups
Another benefit offered by invisible aligners is that they require fewer checkups with our team. As they do not need to be tightened or adjusted (you simply move on to the next aligner), you will not need to attend many orthodontic checkups, so there will be very little impact on your busy schedule.
Great smile!
Provided that you have a dental team that knows how to use invisible aligners, they can give you the straighter smile that you want. Our team at Chelsea & Fulham Dentist are trained in using this orthodontic tool and can ensure that if you are suitable, we will make it work for you.
