What is Invisalign?
Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually move your teeth into their desired position. Unlike traditional braces, these aligners are virtually invisible and can easily be removed for eating, drinking, and brushing teeth.
Why Choose Invisalign?
- Discreet: Nearly invisible aligners, perfect for adults and teens.
- Flexible: Remove aligners for meals or special occasions.
- Comfortable: Smooth plastic aligners offer gentle, consistent pressure with less irritation than metal braces.
- Hygienic: Easily brush and floss as usual, with no need for adjustments.
- Efficient: May have shorter treatment times compared to traditional braces.
When Might Invisalign Be Recommended?
Invisalign may be ideal if you have:
Crowded teeth
Gaps between teeth
Bite issues (overbite, underbite, open bite, or crossbite)
The Invisalign Process
Initial Consultation: Your nib Dental Care Dentist will assess your smile and discuss whether Invisalign is right for you. A scan or impression of your teeth will be taken.
Custom Treatment Plan: A 3D model of your teeth will be created, allowing your Dentist to map out your treatment plan and show you how your teeth will move over time.
Receiving Your Aligners: Once the plan is approved, your custom aligners will be made. You’ll wear each set for 1-2 weeks before moving to the next stage.
Treatment Process: Wear your aligners for 20-22 hours per day, removing them only for eating and cleaning. Check-ups with your Dentist will occur every 8-10 weeks to monitor progress. Treatment time can vary, with some cases taking as little as six months.
