Orthodontics is a unique area of dentistry that specialises in the diagnosis and treatment of teeth which may be crooked, over crowded or causing difficulties when biting. Beneficial at any age, tooth alignment treatment usually lasts between 12 and 18 months and is available in a choice of treatment alternatives, depending on your budget and individual requirements.
If you have considered getting your teeth straightened, but have been put off by the thought of wearing a "traditional" brace; the new Invisalign barely visible braces provide a comfortable, effective and barely noticeable solution.
What is Invisalign® Proven effective in clinical research and is used in orthodontic practices throughout the world, Invisalign® can give you the beautiful straight teeth you've always wanted in a safe and proven way. It works through a series of invisible, removable, and comfortable aligners that no one can tell you're wearing. Because Invisalign uses a computer database every step of the way, they are able to put their knowledge of their 1.2 million previous cases to good use by advising us of the best treatment plans in any given situation.
How does Invisalign® Work? An Invisalign treatment plan is created based on the prescription given by your dentist. This is to provide information on the duration of your Invisalign treatment and number of aligners required for your specific treatment case. Each Invisalign aligner is worn for 2 weeks, removing them only to eat drink, brush and floss. As each Invisalign aligner is replaced, gradual movement of the teeth occur resulting in a straighter smile. You will visit your dentist every 4-6 weeks so that we can ensure all necessary movements are occurring. On average Invisalign treatment lasts 6 to 15 months.
Why Invisalign®? No one can tell you are undergoing teeth straightening Invisalign aligners can be removed easily so that you can eat and drink what you want Its comfortable as there are no metal wires or brackets to cause mouth abrasions
