What orthodontic issues can Invisalign help with?
The Invisalign aligners apply constant yet gentle forces on your teeth, gradually moving them into the desired position. Each aligner is customised to the exact specifications of your teeth, moving your teeth with controlled movements.
Here are the orthodontic issues we can address with Invisalign.
- Misaligned teeth: The aligners gradually shift your teeth into straighter, healthier positions.
- Spacing: We can close unwanted spaces between teeth with Invisalign treatment.
- Overcrowding: Overlapping teeth create aesthetic issues and complicate brushing and flossing. Invisalign applies pressure to overcrowded teeth, moving them into a straighter position.
- Malocclusions: We can correct mild to severe “bad bites” with Invisalign. Clear aligners can address underbites, crossbites, overbites, and open bites.
How does Invisalign work?
Your treatment starts with a consultation with our Invisalign dentist. We’ll use digital scans, photos, and x-rays to determine your eligibility for clear aligner therapy. After all the preliminary work, we’ll craft a personalised treatment plan, which maps out how and when your teeth move during treatment.
Once we receive your Invisalign aligners, you’ll visit our office to pick them up. We’ll give instructions on how to wear them. Because they are removable, Invisalign aligners require a commitment to consistent wear. Wear your aligners at least 22 hours daily—only remove them before meals or when cleaning your teeth. Also, switch to a new set every two weeks. Your aligners may feel tight initially, but this will ease up after a few days.
Although each patient is different, many patients’ complete treatment within 9-18 months. When your aligners come off, we’ll recommend a retainer to maintain your brand-new smile for life.
What are the benefits of Invisalign?
Do you want to straighten your smile with Invisalign aligners? You should be excited! Invisalign offers the following benefits.
- Comfort: The aligners are smooth and custom-fitted to your teeth, minimising discomfort compared to traditional braces.
- Convenience: With removable aligners, you can eat whatever you like, and brushing your teeth is more effortless.
- Aesthetic appeal: The clear aligners are discreet, so you can straighten your teeth without anyone noticing. This subtle design makes Invisalign an excellent choice for teens, adults, and anyone who prefers to avoid obtrusive metal braces.
- Fewer dental appointments: Metal braces require multiple appointments to adjust the wires and brackets. In contrast, Invisalign needs you to visit the dentist every 6-8 weeks. The visits are also quick and straightforward.
- Personalised treatment: Invisalign isn’t a one-size-fits-all treatment. We personalise your treatment to suit your unique needs.
