Invisible braces; advantages from our team

Have you heard down the grapevine that aligners like Invisalign aren’t as good as people say they are? Or that they are a bit overhyped by dental teams?

When you come to our team at Spa Dental, we will assess whether you’re suitable for treatment and recommend the right realigning tool for you, be it a standard brace or invisible braces Sydney like Invisalign.

Below, our team discusses some of the advantages of wearing invisible braces Sydney, so read on to learn if these aligners are right for you!

Better fit

OK, so most people will remember that one person in high school or primary school who wore the standard orthodontic brace.

And most people will then remember how many times that one person had to attend adjustments and tightening appointments for the brace to move the teeth. When it comes to invisible braces Sydney, adjustments and tightening procedures aren’t needed. We simply use a 3D scanner at the initial consultation to map down your teeth location and then, using computer software and some orthodontic know-how, we print a set of aligners using a 3D printer.

Thus, the aligners have a completely customised fit and will help get your teeth into the desired location quickly.

Removable

Who doesn’t want a removable brace?

With these aligners, you can take them out to eat, brush your teeth, play sports and even attend dental check-ups with our team. This makes them more lifestyle-friendly than some of the other orthodontic tools that are available.

However, to keep your treatment on schedule, you will need to keep them in your mouth for the required 22 hours per day, or for the time that our team suggests.

Accelerated treatment

Another advantage of aligners like Invisalign is that they offer a faster treatment.

Indeed, when compared to clear braces and fitted braces, they can straighten your smile on average in about 3-6 months. Remember, this is subjective; you may need to wear the aligners for longer than this and, should you have a more complex case of dental misalignment, you may need to wear them for longer.

As mentioned before, if you fail to keep the aligners in your mouth for the required 22 hours per day, this will have an impact on your treatment time too and may cause delays.

Comfortable

OK, so there is no such thing as a completely comfortable orthodontic tool.

But, as Invisalign does not use force in the same way that traditional braces do, it can be a much more comfortable orthodontic experience. And because the outer part of the aligners is smooth, this prevents them from rubbing against your inner cheeks. So all in all, it is a more comfortable kind of brace.

Excellent results

The results achieved with Invisalign can be striking and as long-lasting as those achieved using traditional braces.

Provided that you wear a retainer once the aligners come off, you can keep your teeth in their new position for the rest of your life, without any worries of reversion or recurring misalignment. Great!
