How does Invisalign work?
Ever wondered how Invisalign® works?
Invisalign offers an alternative to traditional braces for straightening teeth. It isn’t suitable for everyone however when it can be used, it delivers exceptional results.
Invisalign uses a series of clear, custom-made aligners to gradually shift teeth into their desired positions. Here's how it typically works.
Consultation: The process begins with a consultation. During this visit, our dentists will evaluate your teeth and discusses your treatment goals.
Treatment Plan: If Invisalign is deemed suitable for your needs, our dentist will create a personalised treatment plan. This plan involves mapping out the precise movements of your teeth throughout the course of treatment.
Custom Aligners: Using advanced 3D imaging technology, a series of custom-made aligners are created specifically for you. These aligners are made of a smooth, transparent plastic material that is virtually invisible when worn.
Wearing the Aligners: You wear each set of aligners for about one to two weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. The aligners gradually and gently shift your teeth into the desired position according to the treatment plan.
Progress Check-Ups: Every few weeks, you'll visit your dentist to receive your next set of aligners and ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned.
Treatment Completion: Once treatment is complete, retainers will be made to amintain your straight smile.
Overall, Invisalign offers a discreet and convenient alternative to traditional braces for correcting various orthodontic issues, such as crowded teeth, gaps, underbites, and crossbites.
It's important to follow your dentist's instructions closely to achieve the best results.
