It sounds like the fast train to the city of Leeds, but it is actually a quite unique and unobtrusive way of re-aligning your teeth. When we think of this, we tend to conjure up an image of medieval torture that has been adapted by dentists to straighten out molars. With Invisalign the past is banished to the past, and the latest technology takes over. Using computer generated images (CGI) an orthodontist works with the client to create an image, usually in 3D, of how the client’s teeth would look like if they were properly and naturally aligned. Taking X-rays and feeding them into a computer, along with technical details of the client’s teeth, the image is generated quite quickly and the client can see how their teeth will eventually look like. This is using technology at its best; it’s quite awesome to see the CGI of your face with your dream teeth in place. Once that process is completed, the technicians go to work to create a transparent guide for the teeth, there’s no obtrusive wire, braces or soldering and it’s a lot more comfortable. The cost is more that the conventional methods, but you only get what you pay for these days. Dentistry is no different to any other form of medical care; in fact it’s true to say that how our smile appears has an impact on our mental being, and how we feel about ourselves. It is a specialist form of teeth alignment and repair, so make sure you use a reputable firm that is qualified, registered and most importantly recommended.
