How does Invisalign work?

Invisalign works as a series of aligners that have been individually designed to help push your teeth into a neat formation. They work alongside attachments. Attachments are little tooth-coloured pieces of plastic that are glued onto the surface of your teeth and are removed when you finish your treatment. These help straighten your teeth more efficiently by exerting more pressure on them. The number of attachments you need will vary from patient to patient, as well the number of aligners that you need to  straighten your teeth. The average treatment time with Invisalign is between 6 and 12 months. Some patients may require longer if their teeth are suffering more complicated conditions. Each of the aligners will be numbered and there will also be a total number on the packaging. However it is important that you are dedicated to the treatment and comply fully with the instructions otherwise many patients require more aligners at the end to help achieve the perfect result.

Advantages of Invisalign

There are many advantages of Invisalign clear aligners. They are digitally designed and manufactured which means they fit your mouth accurately, preventing any cuts, sores or irritation. It is important that you handle the aligners carefully so that they do not become scratched or damaged. They are made of a very thin plastic, therefore you need to look after them and keep them safe. The aligners are BPA-free and there is very little or no chance of an allergic reaction.

Invisalign aligners are very easy to become accustomed to. Patients report that speaking adaptation generally takes less than 24 hours. If you are moving from one aligner to the next then a great tip is to change the aligner at bedtime so that by the time you wake up in the morning your mouth has become accustomed to the new aligner. Another excellent advantage of Invisalign in comparison to other orthodontic treatments is that the aligners are invisible in the mouth. You can undergo dental treatment confidently and smile carefree and no one will even know that you are wearing any form of braces at all.

If you undergo teeth straightening with Invisalign then you can enjoy your favourite food and drink without having to worry about dietary restrictions. This is because your aligners are taken out at mealtimes to prevent them from getting damaged or affecting your dental health. It is also important that you take them out if you drink anything other than water to prevent them from getting stained.
