Discretion Is The Name Of The Game With Invisalign

Saturday, October 4th, 2014

18625013If discretion is top of your list when you’re searching for an orthodontic treatment to give you beautifully straight teeth, look no further than Invisalign. This clear brae system will straighten your smile without anyone even knowing!

The ins and outs of Invisalign

Invisalign is a modern alternative to traditional fixed braces, which uses a different technique to straighten the teeth. Instead of using forces produced by brackets and wires, Invisalign uses a series of specially designed aligners to move the teeth. These aligners work in a set order and each one is different. All the aligners are worn for 2 weeks and they should be worn for at least 21 hours per day.

Invisalign aligners are removable, which gives patients more freedom and many people enjoy the flexibility they afford; they can be taken out to eat, drink and clean the teeth or when you’re desperate to look your best for a party or a special occasion.

Invisalign is a versatile treatment system and it is generally recommended for patients who have minor or moderate issues, including mild crowding, gaps between the teeth and slightly crooked teeth. Aligners don’t provide as much support as fixed braces and therefore they may always be the best solution for patients who need a lot of movement.

The benefits

Aside from the obvious benefit of complete discretion, which is made possible by the clear components, Invisalign also offers comfort, convenience and flexibility. It is a very popular treatment, which is hugely effective when used properly.
