Are you one of those people that dreads a camera coming out or a face to face meeting? Has your smile been holding you back? Have you thought about braces but been put off by the prospect of wearing metal train-tracks? If you’ve answered yes to any of these questions, we may have just the solution to remedy all your worries. With Invisalign, we can create beautiful smiles and banish problems with misalignment without anyone being able to tell that you are having treatment.
Invisalign aligners are made from transparent plastic and they are virtually undetectable; this means you can go through the treatment process without any worries about how braces are affecting your looks or how others will perceive you when you have your braces.
All about Invisalign
Invisalign uses a system of clear, removable aligners, which in turn use various appliances to move the teeth. Each individual aligner is custom-made and treatment works as a series; each appliance sits in place for 2 weeks and is then swapped for the next until treatment is complete. The aligners are removable, but it’s really important that they are worn for at least 21 hours per day to ensure the best results. If you don’t wear the aligners as much as you should, this will affect the movement of the teeth and the results may not be as impressive as expected.
Invisalign aligners are an amazing option for patients who worry about their professional image, what other people will think when they have a brace or how they will cope with a visible brace. Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible, so you can go about your daily life as normal without any anxiety about the way you look.
How long does treatment take?
The treatment time for Invisalign varies because patients have different needs and some will require more movement than others. The average treatment duration is around 12 months. Your City Dental dentist will be able to talk to you about treatment time once you’ve had a consultation and they have assessed your needs.
