Invisalign in cosmetic orthodontics

Orthodontics are used in the treatment of misaligned teeth and to correct bite disorders in the mouth. There is a reluctance amongst adults to consider orthodontics because traditional braces, made up of metal wires and brackets, although they are a common type of orthodontic treatment, they have quite a prominent visual appearance in the mouth and can affect self-confidence and even be slightly embarrassing in adulthood. Speak to your dentist in Sydney today to find out how the dental industry has developed alternative, modern and attractive treatment procedures to help encourage adults to address the aesthetic issues of their teeth, rather than just settle or be unhappy with the way you feel about the look of your smile.

Invisalign is an increasingly popular treatment procedure in cosmetic dentistry. Speak to your dentist in Sydney to find out if it may be a suitable option for you. Invisalign aligners are transparent orthodontic braces. They are clear, plastic trays which are an increasingly popular alternative to the metal wires and brackets which are conventionally used in orthodontic treatment. They are individually tailored following scans and compressions of your teeth; they are almost invisible, as hinted in the name, which is the main attraction of the treatment process and they are metal free which addresses many aesthetic issues also.

How does Invisalign work?

Following a full examination of your mouth with your dentist in Sydney, X-rays and scans are carried out of your teeth, and Invisalign aligners are created according to the scans to ensure accuracy and precision. The treatment requires a series of aligners, each one is worn for two weeks at a time for at least 20 hours a day and then you move on to the next one in the series. Each aligner is designed to move your teeth by approximately 0.25 mm until the teeth have reached their ideal setting and location. This normally requires approximately 6 to 18 months and is an ideal alternative to conventional metal braces especially in adulthood. Speak to your dentist to find out how the treatment could work for your specific requirements.

The advantages of Invisalign

The main advantage of Invisalign is that it is almost invisible and therefore it is a discreet treatment procedure, unlike conventional braces. They are convenient as they can be taken out of your mouth and replaced whenever necessary. This makes them easy to clean; you can brush them with an ordinary toothbrush and toothpaste, rinse them with warm water and put them back in your mouth when finished. They do not impose any eating restrictions as they can be taken out of your mouth before meal times. Also the series of aligners are created at the beginning and supplied to you, therefore treatment requires few visits to the dentist except at certain intervals of the process to ensure successful alignment and straightening is taking place.
