Invisalign
The brand of clear braces proving most popular here at Spa Dental Sydney is Invisalign. Invisalign is a form of removable clear brace. It uses clear thermoplastic aligners to straighten your teeth. These aligners are like retainers that fit tightly onto your teeth; however each aligner is shaped slightly differently to apply pressure to your teeth and create a neater formation. The aligners are designed to move your teeth by approximately 0.25 mm in two weeks. By applying pressure to the teeth in a specific direction it causes the bone in front of the teeth to break down and new bone to form behind the teeth so that the teeth are securely in place. This takes approximately 6 to 18 months to correct the alignment of your teeth depending on how crooked or wonky they are to begin with. It has been used by more than 14 million patients since 1999 and it is very popular across the world. Dentists also use Invisalign to perfect their teeth. This is because Invisalign can be used by patients of all ages and even patients who have already undergone orthodontic treatment previously.
The uses of Invisalign
Invisalign can be used for significant misalignment issues, including bite disorders, or it can be used for minor aesthetic issues. Here at Spa Dental Sydney our dentist will put together an individually tailored treatment plan for you. Whether you are looking to transform your smile completely or if you require minor movement of your teeth to perfect your smile, Invisalign could be the ideal form of clear braces for you.
They provide complete discretion, comfort and convenience. The aligners are made of medical grade plastic that is BPA free and 3-D printed so there are no sharp edges, rather they fit your mouth with accuracy and precision. They may feel slightly tight when you first put them in there in your mouth, but they are easy to become accustomed to. They can be taken out when you need to eat or clean your teeth and replaced when you are finished. Our dentist will carry out regular assessments to make sure that the progress is as expected and soon you should have a beautiful straight smile that you can show off to the world.
All treatment carries risks. Individual consultation is required with one of our practitioners to ensure that the treatment is right for you.
