Advantages of Invisalign

You need to speak to us at Clear Braces Direct and book a free consultation so that we can find out if Invisalign is the best choice for you. Invisalign is modern, highly comfortable and convenient. Best of all it is completely discreet. This means that you can straighten your teeth and not even your closest friends have to know about it. It can be your secret.

Invisalign works using individually tailored 3-D printed thermoplastic aligners. This makes it an excellent alternative to traditional orthodontic treatment. Traditionally braces are made of metal wires and brackets that are fixed to the surface of your teeth. These types of braces are very good at teeth straightening, however they are very noticeable and do draw attention to your mouth. They also have to be worn for a long period of time and you require regular appointments with the orthodontist to adjust the braces throughout the treatment. In contrast, Invisalign is carried out in the comfort of your own home and you will spend minimum time at a dental clinic or in the dentist’s chair. The total length of the procedure is also shorter with Invisalign than it is with traditional braces. Traditional metal braces require between 18 and 24 months whilst the average treatment time with Invisalign is 12 months to straighten your teeth.

How does it work?

At the initial appointment you will have a full smile assessment including a 3-D scan of your mouth to create a digital image of your teeth. This is manipulated to show what your teeth can look like once they have been straightened with Invisalign. If you like what you see, then we can order a series of aligners that will work together to apply pressure to your teeth and gently force them into their new position. Different patients require a different number of aligners. Some patients can straighten their teeth with as little as 7 aligners if they have minor issues whilst others with more complex orthodontic needs may require 20 to 30 aligners to straighten their teeth. Each aligner has to be worn for approximately two weeks at a time and we will put together an individually tailored treatment plan for you. Book a consultation with us at Clear Braces Direct today and you could receive your aligners within a few weeks. The sooner you begin the process the fewer complications you will face in the future, as crooked and wonky teeth not only look less attractive, but also have a lot of negative implications for your dental health. By straightening your teeth you will have a healthy and happy smile to show off to the world.
