Everyone who lives with misaligned or crooked teeth is more than aware of the problems and discomfort that this condition can cause on a daily basis, including being at a higher risk of common dental issues occurring. Tooth decay, plaque build-up, and gum disease are all linked to misaligned teeth as a person may struggle to navigate their teeth and gums with a toothbrush, making keeping them fully clean is hard work and this gives rise to common dental problems. The fact is there is still a large number of adults living in the United Kingdom with misaligned teeth when there is no need for them to do so, as this is a dental health issue that can be treated, and adults can have the straight teeth that will improve their experience of their oral health and hygiene. These adults may have rejected tooth alignment treatment in their early teen years, for their own very personal reasons, leading them to believe that their opportunity to have their teeth aligned correctly has passed them by. This is simply false, as there are aligners, such as Invisalign Leicester, available on the UK dental markets that have been developed to offer adults the tooth alignment treatment they feel they need. 

When patients are considering tooth alignment treatment, they desire two things from any alignment device they are to be treated with. First, they want to know that they will receive a treatment that will give them the results they are seeking, this being perfectly aligned teeth that look and feel great. The other main demand adults have about tooth alignment treatment is that when any aligner is worn in place in the mouth it is discrete, as many adults seeking this kind of treatment may want to maintain a pleasant appearance to their mouth and teeth. Due to the materials used to create the Invisalign aligner this treatment can give a patient the discrete treatment they desire. This aligner is created by using two layers of clear plastic, that is strong and durable, to create a device that fits over the teeth rather than around the teeth like metal and wire braces. This allows the patient to be treated with an aligner that has the ability in plain sight when others are looking at the wearer face on, giving them the confidence to know that other people around them will not know they are receiving tooth alignment treatment. 

The patient will have to attend a consultation with a dentist or orthodontist to have their teeth examined before moving forward with tooth alignment treatment, as they will have to have their needs assessed. If the decision is made to go ahead with treatment using Invisalign Leicester a series of aligners will be created for the patients used, each is worn for around two weeks and exchanged for the next in the series. Patients will need to commit to a treatment that may last for between twelve and eighteen months, however, once completed the patient should be able to attain greatly improved standards in their oral health and hygiene.
