What Is Invisalign

Invisalign is a popular orthodontic treatment known for its clear, removable aligners that gradually straighten your teeth. Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign offers a more discreet and comfortable approach to achieving a confident smile.

Invisalign is a brand of clear aligners made from a strong, medical-grade plastic called SmartTrack. These custom-designed aligners gently shift your teeth into their desired positions over time. A series of progressively aligned trays are worn for approximately two weeks each, with each new aligner nudging your teeth closer to their final alignment.

Invisalign Before & After

Advantage

Clear and Discreet: Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible unlike metal braces, making them a popular choice for adults and teenagers who are self-conscious about their smiles during treatment.
Removable for Eating and Brushing: The ability to remove the aligners for eating and brushing allows for easier cleaning and maintenance of your teeth and oral hygiene.
More Comfortable: Invisalign uses gentle pressure to move teeth, avoiding the discomfort associated with tightening wires and brackets in traditional braces.
Fewer Dietary Restrictions: With Invisalign, you don’t have to worry about avoiding certain foods that can damage brackets or wires.
Potential for Faster Treatment Time: In some cases, Invisalign teeth treatment can be faster than traditional braces, particularly for minor to moderate misalignment.

Disadvantage

Discipline Required: Successful Invisalign treatment relies on wearing the aligners for the prescribed amount of time each day. Patients who have difficulty maintaining consistent wear time might not achieve the desired results.
Not Suitable for All Cases: As mentioned earlier, Invisalign may not be effective for severe misalignment issues.
Cost: Invisalign price can be more expensive than traditional braces.
Potential for Minor Speech Impediment: Some patients experience a slight lisp during the initial adjustment period while wearing the aligners. This typically resolves quickly.
Possible Teeth Sensitivity: You might experience some temporary tooth sensitivity, especially when switching to a new aligner tray.

Time Frame for Invisalign Treatment

The treatment time for Invisalign varies depending on the severity of your misalignment and the complexity of your case. Generally, Invisalign teeth treatment can take anywhere from 6 months to 2 years. Your dentist or orthodontist will provide a more specific timeline during your consultation.

Other Information

Consultation and Treatment Plan: A dental consultation is essential to assess your suitability for Invisalign and develop a customized treatment plan. This involves taking digital scans or X-rays of your teeth to create a 3D model of your mouth.
Wearing and Maintaining Aligners: You will typically receive a series of aligner trays to wear for approximately 2 weeks each. It’s necessary to wear them for recommended for 20-22 hours a day to ensure optimal results. Regular cleaning of the aligners is also important to maintain proper hygiene.
Regular Check-ups: Schedule regular check-ups with your dentist or orthodontist throughout your treatment to monitor progress and make adjustments as needed.
Retention: After completing Invisalign treatment, a retainer is often recommended to prevent your teeth from shifting back to their original positions.

Invisalign is a simple and modern way to straighten your smile. If you’re considering orthodontic treatment and value a discreet and comfortable option, Invisalign might be the right choice for you. Consult with your dentist or orthodontist to discuss your eligibility and options for a confident and healthy smile.

I had intended to leave a negative review because there were some serious communication problems and misinformation given to me by the lady on the phone which was very frustrating. BUT everything turned out ok.. I can’t fault the dentist, she was lovely, gave very thorough explanations and advice and she did a great job on my teeth.

I can't speak highly enough about Dr Shaveta and Dr Nick. They saved my back molar with root canal treatment when everybody else wanted to pull the tooth. Their staff, including Tracy, are so warm and welcoming. I have found a dentist for life! Absolutely wonderful dentists!
