Easy to care for clear Invisalign aligners are the new popular choice amongst so many of our patients. Often the most cost-effective teeth-straightening solution, the near-invisible braces allow patients to straighten their smile discreetly in as quick as six months.
Invisalign has the power to make daily oral hygiene easier, helping our patients to prevent and reduce the risk of potential threats caused by bacteria build-up, which is often seen with traditional braces.
Your guide to Invisalign
Many professional dentists and dentists agree that Invisalign is an effective treatment worth recommending. Because teen and adult patients alike both love the easiness and discreteness of the process and the results it achieves means we frequently prescribe it in our practice.
Treatment times can vary from patient to patient.
The length of time will depend on the type of orthodontic problem and the severity of the issue.
Treatment is often completed within 12 months, with some treatments being completed in four months.
Step 1: Your bespoke Invisalign treatment plan
Our practice uses the latest technologies and scanning systems to take the most accurate impressions in order to create perfect moulds. Your initial consultation to receive Invisalign will start with a digital 3D scan of your teeth.
This is where we will create a 3D video of your current smile and how it will transform. When the patient is happy with the finished look provided by the scan, the aligners are made and the treatment can begin.
Step 2: Discrete performance
As Invisalign aligners are removable they allow the patient to continue eating what they want and still maintain a high standard of oral hygiene. For adults, they can be removed for special occasions or big meetings.
You will have a series of aligners that will need to be swapped every two weeks or so as the teeth gradually align. Every six to eight weeks you will have checkups with the orthodontist who will ensure that everything is going as planned.
Step 3 – The final result: straight teeth!
Once the treatment is complete you’ll be left with the new smile that was designed for you those few months ago. Some patients at this point whiten their teeth to complete their new smile.
Step 4 – Retainers and Bonding
Now that the teeth are in their correct position, we can look into fixing any minor imperfections in shape, which can be enhanced with cosmetic bonding.
Following the treatment, retainers will be required to be worn during the night to prevent the teeth from relapsing into their original state. Many patients opt for the Vivera retainers that are made with the same technology as Invisalign aligners.
What are the health benefits?
Invisalign braces have many benefits, including many advantages of your overall health. By correcting misaligned teeth, you avoid creating abnormal bite patterns, which negatively impact surrounding teeth.
Dental issues connected to misaligned teeth include tooth sensitivity, jaw pain, headaches damaged bone, chips and fractures. The likelihood of later being diagnosed with disorders like gum disease and tooth decay as brushing and interdental cleaning is more difficult to achieve.
Four impressive benefits:
- Invisalign is basically invisible, allowing patients the chance to discreetly straighten their teeth
- Invisalign aligners are removable, which makes eating and drinking more comfortable and brushing easier. It also promotes better oral hygiene that strengthens oral health.
- Comfortable to wear. As the braces have no metal brackets or wires the mouth is free from breaks or irritations and requires no adjustment appointments.
- Invisalign uses the latest technology to allow the patient to view their virtual treatment plan results. This will show patients how their teeth will look once the treatment has been completed.
Not everyone can get Invisalign braces. Patients exhibiting gum disease or seriously misaligned upper and lower jaws are not viable candidates.
Children and young teenagers cannot receive the treatment and patients are unable to commit to wearing the aligners consistently.
Ensuring you can receive the treatment can only be done once you’ve had a consultation with the dentist.
