Heard that Invisalign doesn’t work? 5 common myths about this brace debunked by our team in Sydney

When you have crooked or misaligned teeth as an adult, you may be eager to find a way to fix the issue and get the straight smile you deserve.

Even if you have a more minor issue with your smile’s aesthetics, a small change can make all the difference!

As there are now a myriad of adult orthodontic options available, you may be more curious about pursuing treatment with one of the clear or invisible aligners. Not only do they offer a discreet alternative to orthodontic braces, but they are also easier to maintain and manage in day to day life.

At Spa Dental Sydney, our team can suggest the ideal orthodontic option to help you get that straighter smile you have always wanted. One of the most popular braces we offer to our suitable adult customers is Invisalign in Sydney. As an invisible aligner, it is one of the more discreet options and with its accelerated treatment, you could have your smile corrected in 6 months or less!

But have you heard that Invisalign in Sydney is only useful for correcting certain orthodontic issues? Here, our team breaks down the truths behind the persistent myths linked to this brace.

It is more expensive than orthodontic braces

This is a common concern that many of our patients have in relation to Invisalign in Sydney.

However, as is the way with many braces, the underlying cost is linked to the time they are worn for, the amount of check-ups that are required and the cost of having the aligners created.

As this brace offers an accelerated treatment and requires fewer check-ups than orthodontic aligners, it may actually cost less.

Because I can remove it, I can wear it when I want

In order to receive the full benefits of this brace, you will need to follow a rather strict set of rules in relation to wearing it. (Sorry!)

Depending on the severity of your misalignment, our team may recommend that you wear it for anywhere between 20-22 hours per day.

I can buy the same brace online for cheaper

No, you can’t!

There are many imitation invisible braces, which promise the same benefits that you would typically receive with this one. In order to wear any orthodontic aligner, you need to have your teeth assessed by a trained professional, in real-life, in a surgery. While the online version may be cheaper, it does not come with the professional reassurance that our team can offer.

My dental issue is too severe

Don’t be fooled; as technology has advanced, so has the number of conditions that this brace can treat. If you are unsure about your suitability, contact our team for a consultation to discuss your options.

This brace doesn’t work

If you wear this aligner for the required time each day, visit our team for check-ups and alert us to any abnormalities, then this brace works perfectly.

As its plastic aligners gently move your teeth, it works comfortably and without the need for tightening.
