Invisalign® clear aligners allow you to benefit from a discreet orthodontic treatment that straightens your teeth without the visibility and discomfort of traditional braces. Invisalign aligners are used to correct misaligned teeth and bite issues, providing a comfortable and convenient way to achieve a beautiful, confident smile through virtually invisible, removable aligners that fit seamlessly into your lifestyle.
Transform your smile with Invisalign
Are you dreaming of straighter teeth but hesitant about traditional metal braces? Invisalign clear aligners offer a modern, discreet solution. Whether you're a busy professional, a self-conscious teen, or anyone seeking a more comfortable teeth-straightening experience, Invisalign might be the right choice for you.
What are Invisalign Aligners?
Invisalign aligners provide an innovative alternative to traditional braces for straightening teeth in kids, teens, and adults. Like conventional braces, Invisalign helps people align their teeth and achieve their dream smile. However, unlike metal braces, Invisalign aligners are removable, virtually invisible, faster, and significantly more comfortable than traditional orthodontic treatment.
These custom-made clear aligners are crafted using advanced 3D imaging technology to create a precise treatment plan tailored specifically to your teeth and smile goals.
How Do Invisalign Aligners Work?
The Invisalign treatment process is straightforward and scientifically proven. When you choose to straighten your teeth with Invisalign aligners, you'll wear a series of invisible and removable aligners that gradually move your teeth into their ideal positions over time.
Your Our Medical dentist will begin by taking detailed impressions and digital scans of your teeth. These are used to create your personalised treatment plan and manufacture your custom aligners. Each set of aligners is worn for approximately one to two weeks before moving to the next set in the series. As you progress through each aligner, your teeth gradually shift closer to their final, perfectly aligned positions.
How Are Invisalign Aligners Different from Traditional Braces?
Invisalign offers several advantages over traditional metal braces:
1. Virtually Invisible Appearance
Invisalign clear aligners are made from proprietary SmartTrack material, making them virtually invisible when worn. People probably won't even notice you're undergoing orthodontic treatment! This discretion makes Invisalign particularly popular among adults and image-conscious teens.
2. Complete Removability
Unlike braces, Invisalign aligners have no metal brackets or wires permanently attached to your teeth. You can easily remove your aligners to eat, drink, brush, and floss normally. This means you can continue enjoying all your favorite foods without worrying about damaging brackets or getting food stuck in wires. The removability also makes maintaining excellent oral hygiene much simpler throughout treatment.
3. Faster Treatment Times
Invisalign treatment is typically faster than traditional braces, and you could start seeing your smile getting straighter week by week. Many patients complete their treatment in 12 to 18 months, compared to the 18 to 24 months often required with conventional braces.
4. Superior Comfort
Invisalign clear aligners are significantly more comfortable than traditional braces. They have no metal brackets or wires that could break, poke, or irritate your mouth and gums. The smooth plastic material feels natural against your teeth and causes minimal irritation to your soft tissues.
Understanding Invisalign Go: Express Treatment for Mild Cases
For patients with minor orthodontic concerns, Invisalign Go offers a streamlined treatment option designed specifically for mild to moderate teeth straightening needs. This express version of Invisalign treatment focuses on correcting issues with the front teeth, making it an excellent choice for adults who want to make subtle improvements to their smile.
Summary
Whether you're considering full Invisalign treatment or the express Invisalign Go option, the key to success lies in choosing a qualified provider and committing to consistent wear. Consult your Our Medical dentist to evaluate your specific needs and determine whether Invisalign is the best orthodontic treatment option for you.
