What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a revolutionary orthodontic treatment that provides an alternative to traditional braces. These clear aligners are custom-made for your smile and are nearly invisible when worn. Let’s delve deeper into the benefits and how the process works:
- Virtually Invisible: Unlike traditional braces with visible wires and brackets, Invisalign aligners are transparent and discreet. You can confidently wear them without drawing attention to your orthodontic treatment.
- Comfortable Fit: The aligners are crafted from a flexible, smooth plastic material, ensuring a comfortable fit. Say goodbye to metal wires poking your cheeks!
- Customised Treatment Plan: Invisalign utilises advanced digital imaging and 3D computer graphics. During your initial consultation, your orthodontist will take a 3D scan of your teeth using the iTero scanner. Based on this scan, a series of clear plastic aligners are custom-manufactured for your unique smile.
- Predictable Results: Each aligner is replaced approximately every 1-2 weeks to gradually shift your teeth into alignment. You can change the aligners at home, reducing the need for frequent in-office appointments.
Why Choose Invisalign?
- Cost-Effective: Invisalign offers straight teeth at a fraction of the cost, time, and discomfort compared to traditional braces.
- Removable: You can take out your aligners for meals and daily oral hygiene, making it easier to maintain good dental health.
- Customization: Invisalign’s SmartTrack® material ensures precise force delivery, moving your teeth predictably.
- Digital Preview: Your orthodontist can show you a digital representation of how your teeth will look after treatment.
Age Considerations
- Children: Invisalign aligners are now available for children as young as 7 years old. The Invisalign® First System corrects orthodontic issues early, giving kids a head start in life.
- Adults: Invisalign is equally effective for adults seeking discreet teeth straightening.
Treatment Duration
On average, Invisalign treatment takes about 6 months, but this varies based on the complexity of your case. Most people notice a difference within three months, and visible results are usually seen after six months.
