Invisalign is an advanced way of straightening teeth that are crowded, misaligned, crooked or too far apart. Popular amongst adult patients, this orthodontic treatment has a range of benefits.
During your first consultation, your dentist will analyse your teeth and take impressions and photos, which will be sent to the Invisalign laboratory. The impressions are used to create a 3D projection of how your teeth are to be aligned.
Once they are reviewed and approved by your dentist here at Comfort Dental Centre Buderim, the invisible aligners are fabricated and shipped back to our practice. After providing you with the aligners, your dentist will instruct you on how to use and care for your aligners. Every two weeks you will change your aligners to achieve your desired results.
Here are just some of the reasons why aligners are one of the most preferred orthodontics treatments.
1. They’re invisible!
Invisalign is the perfect solution to improving your smile without drawing too much attention as traditional braces do. This makes them suitable for patients of all ages. Not only does this treatment improve the appearance of your smile, but it also improves your confidence and self-esteem.
2. They’re comfortable
Those who have had braces can tell you that there’s no worse pain or discomfort than getting them tightened every month! Not to mention the days when you can feel your wire poking at your mouth, or the discomfort braces can cause when eating certain foods.
Compared to other orthodontics treatments, invisible aligners are much more comfortable. They’re made from smooth plastic and can be removed and reinserted into the mouth with ease, which brings me to my next point
3. Fewer food restrictions
Invisible aligners give you the freedom to continue eating all the foods you love. As long as you wear your Invisalign for 20-22 hours a day, you can remove them whenever you want without the common food restrictions braces impose (e.g. chewy, sticky, or hard foods).
4. Easier to care for and clean
Traditional braces can be a hassle to care for and can get in the way of thoroughly cleaning your teeth. Since Invisalign is removable, you can continue your regular brushing and flossing routines to ensure your teeth stay as clean, white, and healthy as possible throughout the process (and as your teeth straighten it will be easier to keep them clean!). Your aligners can also be cleaned by simply brushing them with a spare toothbrush.
