This orthodontic treatment uses a series of clear aligners that are removable and virtually invisible to straighten your teeth over time. The series of clear plastic aligners can be removed when eating, brushing and flossing, allowing you to continue practicing good oral hygiene.
Invisalign clear aligners are custom-made to fit your unique smile. You’ll receive a series of aligners, each slightly adjusted to gently guide your teeth into the desired position. You’ll switch to a new set of aligners approximately every 2 weeks, gradually moving your teeth into alignment. They should be worn for 22 hours of the day.
Invisalign can help with a wide range of dental concerns, including crowded or crooked teeth, gaps, overbites, underbites, and more. They’re a popular alternative to braces, especially for teens and adults.
Invisalign treatment is a popular orthodontic treatment because it offers a discreet and comfortable alternative to traditional metal braces. The clear aligners are virtually invisible, allowing patients to straighten their teeth without the noticeable appearance of brackets and wires, however, there are times when traditional braces may be better suited for your particular smile, for example, if you have severe crowding, significant gaps, or more. They may also not be suitable for younger patients who will not consistently remember to wear their aligners. Schedule a consultation with our dental clinic today to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for achieving your ideal smile.
Invisalign Can Help You Get the Smile You’ve Always Wanted
Invisalign aligners are made from clear plastic, making them virtually invisible. This allows patients to straighten their teeth without metal that is noticeable.
Patients have the freedom to remove their aligners for special occasions or important events or to eat, drink or brush their teeth, providing a level of flexibility not available with metal braces. When they’re not being worn, keep them in their respective containers or a cup of lukewarm water with Invisalign cleaning crystals or denture cleaner.
Clear aligners are made from smooth, medical-grade plastic material, which is less likely to irritate gums and cheeks compared to the wires and brackets of traditional braces. They are also custom-fitted and have the potential to shift your teeth into the desired position in a short treatment time.
Keeping your teeth clean is simple since you can remove the aligners to brush your teeth and floss as usual. Since there are no brackets or wires to navigate around, this means you spend less time trying to ensure your teeth are clean.
Since the aligners are removable, you can continue to eat and drink all of your favourite foods without worrying about damaging braces or avoiding certain items. Just remember to clean your teeth before putting your aligners back in to avoid discolouring them!
When it’s time to receive a new set of aligners, many patients report feeling some discomfort for the first few days of wearing them. Just remember that any tenderness will gradually subside.
Typically, Invisalign treatment takes a relatively short time to work depending on the complexity of your case. Regular check-ins are necessary to monitor progress and ensure that the treatment is on track.
