Mouth Makeover!
The team at Align Dental talk about two popular procedures they offer to help you achieve a straight, white smile.
1 TEETH WHITENING
Have your teeth gone yellow and dull over time with coffee and/or red wine? It might be time to consider teeth whitening. The Align Dental in-clinic Philips Zoom whitening procedure is designed to deliver fast and effective results. Each session typically lasts about an hour and involves applying a whitening gel to your teeth, which is then activated by a specialised light. Depending on the desired level of whiteness, multiple sessions may be needed.
For those who prefer at-home treatment, the clinic offers Philips Zoom take-home kits that include custom-fitted trays and whitening gel. Results can be seen in just a few days, with full results in a couple of weeks. Post-procedure maintenance involves good oral hygiene, using teeth whitening toothpaste, and periodic touch-ups.
2 INVISALIGN
Invisalign offers a contemporary alternative to traditional braces, suitable for both children and adults. This innovative treatment employs a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually straighten teeth, making it perfect for those seeking a less conspicuous solution. Custom-made for each individual, the aligners need to be worn for 20 to 22 hours a day, with the treatment usually completed in 12 to 18 months. Regular checkups ensure that progress is on track, paving the way to a perfect smile.
