Invisalign is the number one orthodontic aligner available. Because of its invisible and discreet nature. In the past, the only way to straighten teeth was with metal wires and fixed brackets. Invisalign offers a subtle way to move your teeth gradually without anyone knowing. These removable aligners are often referred to as modern braces and are clear so are virtually invisible to others. whilst you’re undergoing Invisalign treatment your colleagues and friends will hardly notice.
This clear brace is the best alternative to traditional metal braces which can’t be removed once in the mouth. Unlike metal braces you can remove this aligner whenever you need to and pop it back in. This makes caring for the aligner and your teeth and gums easy and hassle free and you can eat what you like during the treatment.
At any of our partner practices near you you can have:
This is for those who need complex dental corrections or full teeth realignment. You can find this option at any of our partner practices near you. The orthodontist and dentist teams can treat moderate to severe cases.
You’ll change to new aligners every 1-2 weeks to move your teeth gradually to the desired outcome. Depending on the condition of your teeth you may receive 15-30 aligners during the Invisalign Full treatment. On average the treatment takes 12-18 months to see results but more complex cases may take 24-36 months.
Invisalign Lite is for patients who need mild to moderate teeth correction. It’s for less complex cases, same treatment time as other options but uses fewer aligners to move your teeth into position, typically 4-8 months to see results.
The latest version of Invisalign, this is for minor orthodontic corrections. You’re eligible if you have relapsed misalignment, minor gaps, slight overcrowding and similar issues. This treatment gives rapid results as the name suggests, uses 7 aligners to get you aligned. Average treatment time 4 months.
Indeed, Invisalign is the most popular orthodontic solution due to several reasons. First of all, comfort is part of the deal that traditional metal brackets and wires can barely offer; these conventional methods could result in huge irritation in the mouth. Because the aligners are designed to be worn for 22 hours each day, they provide a far more pleasant experience. Another great thing about it is that since there are no wires and metal components involved, patients spend less time in the dentist's chair for adjustments.
Yet, the advantages do not stop with comfort. Invisalign starts moving the teeth right away; thus, it allows people to have the smile they want much sooner than they would have using traditional braces. In most instances, this modern alternative for teeth straightening is actually able to produce quite noticeable results even in a few months, making it effective for many.
The name itself suggests that Invisalign aligners are practically invisible when worn, thus making it inconspicuous for other people to notice that one is going through orthodontic treatment. Besides, the aligners are easily removable, allowing users to enjoy foods without an overly strict diet in the process of treatment.
Invisalign uses the most advanced technology in rearranging one's teeth with custom-designed, transparent aligners. These almost invisible braces provide just the right amount of force to gradually move each tooth into its optimal position, thereby eliminating the need for traditional fixed wires or brackets. The aligners apply pressure on certain teeth at specified times, encouraging gradual movement along the course of treatment. You will wear each aligner for a few weeks before moving onto the next in the series. This process continues until your teeth reach optimal alignment. The innovative technology at Invisalign lets you visualize your results even before beginning your treatment. This is accomplished by using state-of-the-art 3D imaging to show you what your teeth will look like throughout the stages. Your Invisalign dentist closely follows your treatment's progress in the course of your care. However, treatment result often times vary from one patient to another since individual factors may impact aligner efficiency. This technique is far less cumbersome for most individuals compared to more conventional procedures. It does, however require dedication on your part for you to achieve an ideal result.
At the end of your treatment, a custom-made retainer will be provided by your dentist here, to prevent relapse. These retainers maintain the results over a long period. Both removable and fixed retainers are available here at MD.co.uk; however, you will be advised by your dentist as to which one works the best for you. Although both types have their merits, this decision should be made in view of your personal and individual circumstances and preference.
Following completion of the Invisalign treatment, a thorough aftercare program should be implemented to retain your new smile. Of course, this will include retainer wear, good oral hygiene practices, and continued care. Here's what you need to know:
After the active phase of your Invisalign treatment, retainers will be worn to prevent the teeth from relapsing back to their original position. Your dentist may give you fixed or removable retainers, whichever is the most appropriate in your condition. Fixed retainers are attached behind your teeth. In contrast, removable retainers can be taken out during certain situations. They have to be worn consistently for good results.
This, of course, doesn't mean you won't need to see a dentist for regular dental checkups anymore once you're done with Invisalign treatment. Professional cleaning by a dental hygienist every six months will help remove plaque and tartar accumulation that could lead to gum disease if left unchecked. Early detection of issues with your oral health will be possible through frequent monitoring for keeping your smile healthy and beautiful.
A healthy diet is rich in the nutrients required by your teeth and gums to stay health. Crunchy fruits, leafy green vegetables, and plenty of dairy products are good for your teeth and ensure that your gums are strong and healthy. Try and limit the number of sugary snacks and fizzy drinks you consume because these can wreak havoc on your teeth and increase the risk of cavities, particularly after braces.
In case you are involved in some contact sport or any activity that can potentially result in dental trauma, it is highly recommended that you wear a mouthguard. This is a simple inexpensive device to prevent both teeth and jaws injuries that may affect your treatment outcome with Invisalign.
