Invisalign

Invisalign

Invisalign is an innovative orthodontic treatment designed to address a variety of mild to moderate cases of teeth misalignment while offering a discreet and comfortable alternative to traditional metal braces.

The clear, removable aligners are virtually invisible, making them a popular choice for individuals seeking a more aesthetic option. The process begins with a consultation where digital impressions are taken, enabling the creation of a customized series of aligners. Patients wear these aligners, changing them every few weeks as their teeth gradually shift into the desired position.

The advantages of Invisalign include the ability to remove the aligners for eating and oral hygiene, reduced discomfort compared to traditional braces, and a less noticeable appearance during treatment, making it an attractive option for those seeking a convenient and inconspicuous orthodontic solution.

What can Invisalign Treats ?

Crowded Teeth

Teeth crowding not only presents aesthetic concerns but also prevents effective brushing and flossing, leading to the accumulation of plaque and bacteria which significantly increases the risk of cavities and gum disease. Invisalign addresses crowding issues with its discreet clear aligners by gradually shifting teeth into proper alignment which consequently enhances the smile and facilitates better oral hygiene.

Gapped Teeth

Teeth spacing issues can lead to both aesthetic and functional challenges, affecting one’s smile and bite alignment. Gaps between teeth not only impact confidence but can also cause difficulties with chewing and speech. Invisalign offers a solution by utilizing clear aligners to gradually shift teeth into their proper positions, effectively closing gaps and improving overall alignment.

Deep Bite

In addition to its aesthetic concerns, deep bite also leads to excessive wear and uneven distribution of force across the teeth. Invisalign offers a solution by gradually adjusting the bite with clear aligners, helping to correct the alignment of the teeth and reduce the strain on them to improve both the appearance and functionality of the smile.

Open Bite

Open bite has a negative impact on aesthetics as well as the distribution of force among the teeth, leading to potential issues like speech difficulties and jaw pain. Invisalign provides a solution by using clear aligners to gradually close the gap between the upper and lower teeth, correcting the bite alignment and restoring both the appearance and functionality of the smile.

Crossbite

Crossbite leads to excessive wear and uneven pressure distribution on the teeth, potentially causing discomfort and functional issues as well as aesthetic concerns.. Invisalign offers a solution by utilizing clear aligners to gradually correct the misalignment, improving both the appearance and function of the bite.

Cosmetic

Straight smile significantly boosts confidence. Sometimes all you need is minor teeth straightening through Invisalign to achieve a remarkable difference, enhancing self-assurance with minimal adjustments.

In scenarios where a smile makeover via veneers, crowns or a combination of both is planned, the use of Invisalign can make the results more refined, natural-looking, and minimally invasive. By aligning the teeth beforehand, the need for extensive enamel reduction may be minimized, preserving more of the natural tooth structure.
