At Smooth Dental in Oran Park, we're proud to offer Invisalign as a modern solution for straightening teeth. This innovative treatment uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually shift teeth into their desired positions.
Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible, making them a popular choice for adults and teens who want to improve their smile discreetly. The aligners are custom-made for each patient using advanced 3-D computer imaging technology.
Here's how the Invisalign process works:
We create a personalised treatment plan based on a thorough examination and 3D scans of your teeth.
A series of custom-made aligners is fabricated specifically for you.
You wear each set of aligners for about two weeks before moving to the next set in the series.
The aligners gently and gradually shift your teeth into place according to the treatment plan.
One of the main advantages of Invisalign is that the aligners are removable. This means you can take them out for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing, making it easier to maintain good oral hygiene during treatment. However, you should wear the aligners for 20-22 hours daily for best results.
Invisalign can treat a wide range of orthodontic issues, including crowded teeth, gaps between teeth, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. Treatment time varies depending on individual needs but typically ranges from 6 to 18 months.
While Invisalign offers many benefits, it's not suitable for everyone. Complex orthodontic cases may still require traditional braces. At Smooth Dental, we'll assess your specific needs and discuss whether Invisalign is the right option for you.
Remember, straight teeth aren't just about aesthetics—they're also easier to clean and maintain, contributing to better overall oral health. If you're considering Invisalign, we'd be happy to provide more information and determine if it's the right solution for your smile goals.
