Invisable Braces
If
you have teeth that are crowded, too far apart or have
moved since wearing conventional braces, invisalign®
may be the answer for you.
Being nearly invisible, almost no one can tell you
are wearing invisalign®, so you can smile more during
as well as after your treatment. Invisalign® braces
are removable so that you can eat and drink what you
like, and studies have shown that it can be better for
your dental hygiene during treatment. There are no metal
or sharp edges, and is therefore comfortable to wear
and does not cause allergies.
The convenience and ease of use have made it the choice
of over half a million people, giving hundreds of thousands
of people amazing new smiles.
How does it work?
Using
the latest 3-D computer technology, custom made removable
mouth trays (aligners) are created under the dentist’s
instructions. A series of aligners are worn over the
course of treatment, all slightly different, moving
your teeth gradually into the desired position.
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).
Each aligner is worn for 2 weeks, (before moving onto
the next in the series), moving your teeth millimetre
by millimetre, week by week, until you reach your desired
result.
Treatment
length varies depending on the individual case, however,
the average invisalign® treatment is nine to eighteen
months.
Regular dental visits are required during the treatment,
until it is determined that your treatment is complete.
