Transform your smile with Invisalign
Have you heard about the new ‘invisible brace’? If you have teeth that are crowded, too far apart or have shifted since wearing conventional braces, Invisalign® may give you a new reason to smile!
Invisalign is a unique orthodontic method that uses clear, plastic aligners to move your teeth into position. There’s not a brace to be seen. These aligners fit over your teeth like thin sports mouthguards and can be removed for eating, brushing and flossing. This means you can maintain better dental hygiene during treatment and you’ve got the flexibility to remove the aligners for special occasions.
The convenience and ease of use have made Invisalign the orthodontic treatment choice of over five million patients around the world.
How does it work?
Invisalign uses the latest advances in 3D computer technology. This technology enables our team to create a series of custom-made aligners. These aligners apply a controlled amount of force to your teeth, causing them to move.
Each set of aligners is worn for two weeks. After this period, you replace them with the next set in the series. Each aligner is moulded slightly differently to reflect the change in teeth position. Each week, the aligners move your teeth just that little bit closer to the desired position we’re aiming to achieve with treatment.
How long will
Invisalign® take?
Invisalign® only works while you wear the aligners. We recommend they are worn full time day and night (min 22–24 hours). Treatment time will vary depending on your case, but the average Invisalign® patient wears their aligner for between nine and eighteen months. This is shorter than if you were to wear traditional braces.
Types of Invisalign
At Align & Smile Orthodontics, our team are qualified to treat patients with four different types of Invisalign aligners, depending on your teeth straightening needs:
- Invisalign Full: for complex orthodontic cases, Invisalign Full can be used to straighten teeth, achieving results in up to 18 months.
