Invisalign

Invisalign is a modern and virtually invisible solution for straightening teeth. It is a popular alternative to traditional braces, offering a discreet and comfortable way to achieve a beautifully aligned smile.

What Is Invisalign?

Invisalign is an effective solution for a variety of dental problems. It can correct crowded and crooked teeth, close gaps between teeth and address issues such as overbites, underbites, open bites and crossbites. Overbites occur when the upper teeth excessively overlap the lower teeth, while underbites occur when the lower teeth extend past the front teeth.

An open bite occurs when the upper and lower teeth are forced outward and do not meet and a crossbite happens when the upper teeth bite on the inside of the lower teeth.

By addressing these issues, Invisalign can significantly improve both the function and appearance of your smile.

What Issues Can Be Fixed with Invisalign?

Invisalign uses advanced 3D computer-imaging technology to design a customised treatment plan based on your provider’s prescription. This plan outlines the movement of your teeth from their current position to the desired alignment. A series of custom-made clear aligners are created to fit your teeth perfectly. Each aligner is worn for approximately two weeks, gradually shifting your teeth into place. The overall treatment time depends on your specific dental needs and is determined by your Invisalign provider.

How Does Invisalign Work?

Invisalign treatment involves the use of a series of clear, custom-made aligners that are designed to fit your teeth perfectly. Each aligner is worn for about two weeks before moving to the next one in the series. The aligners apply pressure to your teeth at specific points, gradually moving them into the correct position. 

Throughout your treatment, you will have regular appointments to ensure that everything is progressing as expected. You are recommended to wear the aligners for 20-22 hours each day, with the flexibility to remove them for eating, drinking and cleaning. This flexibility means there are no dietary restrictions and maintaining oral hygiene is straightforward. 

By the end of your treatment, you will have a smile that is not only beautiful but also healthy.

Benefits
of Invisalign

Invisalign offers numerous advantages over traditional orthodontic treatments. One of the most notable benefits is that the aligners are virtually invisible, making it a discreet option for straightening your teeth. 

The aligners are removable, which allows you to eat and drink whatever you like and to brush and floss your teeth with ease. They are also comfortable to wear, as they are custom-made to fit your teeth perfectly. Unlike traditional braces, they do not irritate your mouth. Additionally, appointments are usually quicker since there are no wires to adjust. Using advanced technology, Invisalign allows you to see a preview of how your smile will look at each stage and the end of your treatment, giving you a clear idea of the expected outcome.
