Straighten your teeth with Reveal: A comprehensive guide for patients

In recent years, advancements in dental technology have made it easier than ever to achieve a straighter, more confident smile. One such innovation is Reveal, a revolutionary teeth straightening solution offered at William Place Dental Aesthetics.

In this comprehensive guide, highly respected dentist and Reveal practitioner Dr Michael Healy explains who is a suitable candidate for this form of teeth straightening, the duration of treatment, and beyond.

Who is suitable for Reveal?

Reveal is an excellent option for patients seeking to correct mild to moderate teeth misalignment issues. Whether you have crowded teeth, gaps, or minor bite issues, Reveal can often provide a highly effective solution. However, it's essential to consult with one of our experienced dental professionals to determine if Reveal is the right choice for your specific needs.

How does Reveal work?

Reveal utilises clear aligners that are custom-made to gradually shift your teeth into the desired position. These aligners are virtually invisible, offering a discreet alternative to traditional metal braces. The treatment begins with a comprehensive assessment of your teeth and bite, followed by the creation of a personalised treatment plan.

Once your aligners are ready, you'll wear them for the prescribed amount of time each day, typically around 23 hours per day. Every few weeks, you'll switch to a new set of aligners, each one designed to continue the progress of your treatment. Throughout the process, our dental team will monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to ensure optimal results.

How long does treatment take?

The duration of Reveal treatment can vary depending on the complexity of your case and your specific treatment goals. On average, most patients complete their treatment within 6 to 12 months. However, some cases may necessitate a shorter or longer duration. During your initial consultation, our dental team will provide you with a personalised treatment timeline based on your individual needs.

What are the benefits of Reveal?

Discreet

The transparent aligners are virtually invisible, enabling you to straighten your teeth without drawing attention to your treatment.

Comfortable

Unlike traditional braces, Reveal aligners are smooth and comfortable to wear, minimising irritation to the gums and cheeks.

Removable

You can easily remove the aligners for eating, brushing, and flossing, allowing you to maintain good oral hygiene throughout your treatment.

Effective

Reveal has been shown to effectively correct a wide range of teeth misalignment issues, helping you achieve a straighter, more confident smile.

What can I expect after treatment?

Once your Reveal treatment is complete, you'll transition to a retainer to maintain the new position of your teeth. Our dental team will provide you with detailed instructions on how to wear and care for your retainer to ensure long-lasting outcomes. It's essential to follow these guidelines to prevent any regression and maintain your beautifully-straight smile for years to come.
