What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a brand of clear aligners used to straighten teeth.
Why Choose Invisalign?
- Discreet Treatment: Invisalign is clear and nearly invisible, allowing you to straighten your teeth without drawing attention.
- Comfort and Convenience: Invisalign aligners are made from smooth plastic, which is far more comfortable than the metal brackets and wires used in traditional braces. You'll experience less irritation and discomfort throughout your treatment. Additionally, because the aligners are removable, you can take them out when eating, drinking, or brushing your teeth—providing a level of convenience that traditional braces cannot offer.
- Improved Oral Hygiene: Since Invisalign aligners are removable, it's easier to maintain good oral hygiene compared to traditional braces. You can continue brushing and flossing your teeth as you normally would, without worrying about food getting stuck in brackets or wires. Just make sure to clean your aligners regularly to keep them in top condition.
- Predictable Results: Invisalign treatment is planned out digitally using advanced 3D technology. Your dentist creates a detailed treatment plan that shows you exactly how your teeth will move throughout the course of the treatment. You can even see a digital representation of your final smile before you begin! This predictability can give you confidence that your treatment is on track and will deliver the results you expect.
The Invisalign Process: Step by Step
- Initial Consultation: During your first visit, we will assess your teeth and discuss your treatment goals. We will take x-rays, photographs, and digital impressions of your teeth to create a personalised treatment plan.
- Custom Aligners: Based on your treatment plan, a series of custom-made aligners will be created. You’ll receive your first set of aligners and instructions on how to wear them.
- Wear and Replace Aligners: You’ll wear each set of aligners for about 20-22 hours a day, only removing them to eat, drink, and clean your teeth. After two weeks, you’ll replace them with the next set in the series.
- Regular Checkups: Every 6-8 weeks, we will check in on you to ensure your treatment is progressing as planned and to receive your next set of aligners.
- The Final Result: Once your treatment is complete, you’ll have the beautiful, straight smile you’ve always wanted. We always advise to wear a retainer to maintain your results.
The Cost of Invisalign
Invisalign treatment can be more expensive than traditional braces, but the price varies depending on factors like the complexity of your case, the length of your treatment, and your location. We offer flexible payment plans or financing options to make treatment more affordable. It’s also worth noting that many dental insurance plans now cover Invisalign and orthodontics, making it even more accessible for those who want a straighter smile.
Is Invisalign Worth It?
Ultimately, Invisalign’s benefits extend far beyond just a beautiful smile. By improving your oral health, boosting your confidence, and providing a more convenient way to achieve a straight smile, Invisalign is making orthodontics easier and more accessible than ever before.
