Invisalign: Your new smile design

 

Have you ever wanted straighter teeth but didn't like the idea of having braces?

You wouldn't be the only person discouraged by the thought of having brackets and wires attached to your teeth for months, even years at a time. But what if there was an alternative treatment that allowed for straighter teeth while maintaining an almost clear mouth? Invisalign has become one of the most intuitive designs in the dental and orthodontic field in recent years, with up to 4 million patients having undergone treatment. 

 

Why have straight teeth?

Straighter teeth don't just improve your smile, but they allow for an overall improvement in your dental health. What exactly does it improve? Straight teeth lead to a reduced risk of gum-related diseases, plaque retention and tooth decay. Not only that, but properly aligned teeth are easier to brush, floss, and can even result in less strain being placed on the supporting jaw bones. It's safe to say that having straight teeth can be quite beneficial to you, not just from an aesthetic point of view but also from a dental point of view.

 

So what exactly Is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a clear alternative to braces developed by dentists and orthodontists alike. By using a series of custom-made retainer-like aligners, the patient will undergo gradual and gentle teeth transformation over a period of time. But don't be fooled, while the Invisalign treatment may be perceived as being able to treat only minor cases, they have also been proven to be effective in medium and severe cases. They can be used for a wide variety of conditions, such as: Crowding, Spacing, Overbite, Underbite, and more. 

But what about price? Contrary to popular belief, most cases of Invisalign reflect that of the cost of conventional, ceramic braces. However, unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners are produced with a virtually invisible solution; meaning you can wear them every day and most people won't even notice. Not only this, but the aligners don't stay in your mouth at all times. While treatment does require you have them applied for 20 22 hours a day, you are able to remove them to eat the foods you like! 

In summary: Invisalign is a clear, more convenient alternative to ceramic braces that is used to treat a variety of tooth-related conditions. You can eat what foods you like, when you like and nobody will even notice you are wearing them!
