Invisalign Full, Teeth Whitening & A New Front Dental Crown

Our case of the month for September 2022 is a lovely smile transformation done the Progressive Dentistry way with invisalign full, teeth whitening & a new front dental crown. When we plan these types of treatments, we often will look at whether the teeth are in the right place first. Why is this so important? Well the reason is simple. If the teeth are not in the right place or well aligned, any cosmetic treatment will be a big compromise. For instance, in the days gone by, there was a fad for porcelain veneers and crowns. If the teeth were wonky to start with, this would mean having to cut a lot of healthy tooth to make the ceramic veneers or crowns. This is not a good idea! For every heavily prepared tooth, around 17-20% of the nerves die. This means root canal treatment and a risk the tooth will not last a life time.

There are many options now to straighten teeth with one of the very best Invisalign Full or Invisalign Comprehensive which is the the company's flagship product and gives us all the tools we need to fully align teeth predictably, quickly and safely. What is important to remember is that Invisalign is by prescription. Each dentist will have their prescription and we certainly have ours. The technology is outstanding and we have seen the evolution of the system over the past 15 years first hand. Having also used other clear aligner providers from the UK and Europe, we can safely say Invisalign is by far the best in the field.

Invisalign attachments are designed to either help the aligner 'grip' your teeth for added retention or they can help special tooth movements. For example, there are dedicated attachments for bringing teeth outwards, downwards and for rotations for example. Within our specific prescription, we try to avoid placing attachments on the front teeth for aesthetics. If they are needed, we can delay placement until nearer the end of treatment. Attachments on the back teeth are hardly visible. We use extremely tooth like composite for the attachments which makes them blend in even better.

In our case of the month for September 2022, the main concern was the fact the left front tooth was in cross bite and hidden on smiling. This was something that had bothered her for over 30 years. It is never too late to start treatment!
