Well you have been to the local dentist and he has brokenthe news that you need braces . For some that can be stressful to hear because of what we are aware about normal metal braces. Luckily , fixing crookedteeth with braces has come on leaps and bounds from the old metal ones . A new alternative that has attracted many patients to the concept of braces is Invisalign.
Invisalign is a treatment which offers a safe and effective method of straightening your teeth without anyone even knowing ; invisible alignment, as the name implies. You get the same benefits of the traditional metal braces minus the discomfort, embarrassment and unsightly appearance.
Invisalign works by first using a 3-D imaging system to build an effective treatment plan for the patient, beginning with the initial positioning of the teeth, followed by the desired outcome . The process of re-positioning your teeth is carried out in stages. You will have custom-made, clear aligners placed in your mouth that will gradually move your teeth into place over 2-6 weeks. When that time is up , you will re-visit your dentist again and a new aligner is put in , continuing this process until the desired position of your teeth is achieved. The treatment plan can be expected to last approximately 12 months , dependent upon the extent of correction needed. The great thing about these aligners is that they are made of a very sturdy medical plastic and are virtually invisible.
More and more people are now opting for Invisalign over the old style metal braces . As well as all their many benefits, what truly sets them apart from the older, permanently fixed braces is that they are removable. This means that you don’t have to worry about what you eat or drink because you can brush and floss your teeth normally. No more embarrassing pieces of food stuck in your braces! It also means fresher breath, given that brushing and flossing is easy.
Many teenagers need orthodontic treatment but are afraid of the stigma attached to the old style braces, making Invisalign an ideal alternative . Invisalign Teen has been developed to meet this specific requirement , and is safe even if all the permanent teeth have not come through. Also, being removable this allows teens to take part in sports that may be inappropriate or at the very least dangerous when wearing traditional braces, attend social functions with confidence and even play wind instruments.
Invisalign may be used to fix a wide variety of dental and orthodontic needs. The aligners are great with fixing overly crowded teeth, teeth with wide spaces, crossbites, overbites and underbites. Young or old, the results are impressive; a beautiful, healthy smile for the rest of your life!
