Are you interested in orthodontic treatment but hesitant to commit to traditional braces? Do you frequently worry about the appearance of your teeth but dread the discomfort and unsightliness of metal brackets and wires?

Straight teeth are beautiful, but not everyone has a straight smile. If you’re one of the many people with crooked, crowded, or misaligned teeth, you might wonder what your options are for achieving a straighter smile. Look no further than Invisalign!

Why Choose Invisalign?

Using clear aligners, Invisalign is a contemporary orthodontic treatment that softly moves teeth into the desired position. These aligners are custom-made for your unique mouth and are virtually invisible, allowing you to straighten your teeth discreetly.

Our dental practice proudly offers Invisalign treatment to our patients. Everyone should smile confidently and happily; Invisalign is a great way to achieve that.

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign aligners are a straightforward, removable alternative to traditional braces. Made from a specialised material called SmartTrack®, they are comfortable and virtually invisible. They do not require noticeable metal brackets or wires; instead, they gently move teeth into the appropriate position.

Invisalign is suitable for both adults and children. It addresses common dental issues such as misaligned teeth, overcrowding, and gaps. It is easier and more comfortable than traditional braces since you can take out the aligners anytime to maintain good oral hygiene.

The Invisalign Treatment Process

  1. Consultation and Evaluation: During your first session, our dentists will perform a thorough oral check to evaluate your oral health and decide whether Invisalign is the best option. We will also take digital imprints, x-rays, and pictures of your teeth to establish a customised treatment plan.
  2. Creating Your Treatment Plan: We’ll use the digital impressions to produce a 3D model of your teeth and a series of custom aligners that will gradually shift them into the ideal position. Before moving on to the next set of aligners, you will wear each set for roughly two weeks.
  3. Wearing Your Aligners: You will only take out your aligners to eat, brush, and floss during the 20–22-hour daily wear. The aligners are comfortable and removable, making it easier to maintain good oral hygiene.
  4. Check-ups and Adjustments: As your treatment progresses, we will arrange for check-ups to assess your progress and replace your aligners as necessary.
  5. Finishing Your Treatment: Once you’ve completed your series of aligners, you’ll wear a retainer to help maintain your new smile. Depending on your needs, retainers can be set or removable.

Benefits of Invisalign

Invisalign treatment offers a myriad of advantages over traditional orthodontic treatments, including:

  1. Discreet appearance: Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible and do not require visible wires or brackets.
  2. Improved oral hygiene: Aligners are removable, so patients can continue their regular oral hygiene regimen, which lowers their risk of tooth decay and gum inflammation.
  3. More comfortable to wear: Invisalign aligners are made from a non-abrasive, smooth material, ensuring maximum comfort during wear.
  4. Shorter treatment times: You may experience faster results with Invisalign than with traditional braces.
  5. Customised treatment options: Invisalign aligners are custom-designed and fitted for each patient, providing individualised, effective treatment.

Invisalign Cost and Insurance Coverage

The price of Invisalign treatment varies based on the specific requirements of each patient. Factors that may impact the cost include:

  • The treatment length.
  • The severity of the case.
  • The use of attachments or additional appliances.

Many health insurance companies cover Invisalign treatments, considered an effective orthodontic solution. However, it is essential to check with your health insurance provider to confirm that your plan and membership provide coverage for the treatment.
