About invisalign for gaps in Billericay
Gap closure appears straightforward — move teeth together until the space closes — but planning it correctly requires careful attention to the relationship between the teeth being moved and the rest of the bite. Simply driving adjacent teeth into a gap without considering how the change affects posterior occlusal contacts can create bite interferences that cause jaw discomfort or accelerate wear on the back teeth. Experienced Platinum providers use the ClinCheck software to simulate the full bite throughout the planned tooth movement, identifying and eliminating any proposed contacts before the aligners are manufactured.
The retention planning is equally important. Teeth that have been moved into a gap retain a relapse tendency from the stretched periodontal ligament fibres, and without proper retention the gap will gradually reopen. Platinum providers routinely place bonded lingual retainers following gap closure — fine wires attached to the back surfaces of the closed teeth — and provide Vivera removable retainers for overnight use. The combination virtually eliminates relapse when worn as instructed.
Providers with lower case volumes often underestimate the retention requirements for gap closure cases and under-specify the retainer protocol. This is not a theoretical risk: gap relapse is one of the most common reasons patients return to clinics for re-treatment, and it is almost always avoidable with correct initial planning. Our Essex directory's Platinum and Diamond requirement exists precisely to filter out providers who lack the experience to plan gap closure — and its retention — correctly from the start.
