Invisalign, just like the name suggests, is a modern teeth straightening system consisting of removable custom-made aligners made from nearly invisible materials. Best of all, you can see an amazing transformation in 9 to 18 months.
The Invisalign system is ideal for patients who have widely spaced or overcrowded teeth, crossbites, underbites and open bites.
The benefits of Invisalign include:
Before treatment begins, the Invisalign System allows us to preview your new smile by digitally mapping your teeth and creating an incredibly personalised treatment specifically for you- including the exact movements of your teeth and how long your treatment will take.
We then begin your treatment by creating clear aligners made from SmartTrack material which moves your teeth comfortably and efficiently into their desired position.
Best of all, the Invisalign process is generally painless, aside from some minor discomfort at the start of each new stage, and the results can be amazing!
When most people think of teeth straightening they imagine the old, painful metal braces. This is no longer the case!
Invisalign fits seamlessly into almost every lifestyle and because there are no metal wires or brackets you don’t have to worry about cuts or abrasions. Best of all you take them out for eating, drinking, brushing and flossing so they are less disruptive and much more convenient.
The cost can vary depending on the complexity of your individual needs and how long you need to wear them to achieve your desired results. As a general rule the price for adults is comparable to traditional braces but, again, can be much less depending on the length of treatment.
Your dentist will take the time to discuss the best, and most affordable treatment for you.
Like many dental treatments, Invisalign may affect your speech for a short amount of time. But don’t worry! You’ll get used to having them in your mouth quickly and you will be speaking naturally in no time- usually in just a few days.
While you are wearing your aligners you won’t be able to eat or drink anything other than water. However, when it’s time for your regular meals and snacks, you simply remove the aligner and eat normally.
