Modern dentistry has made many advances in straightening your teeth, so you no longer have to wear traditional braces with brackets and wires. You have many different options for your smile, so if you don’t love how it looks, Invisalign clear aligners may be a good choice.
Invisalign clear aligners are custom-made for your teeth and are nearly invisible; they can also be taken out to make it easier for you to eat, as well as brush and floss your teeth. Invisalign aligners fit over your teeth and gently move your teeth into position.
Who Can Get Invisalign Clear Aligners?
Teenagers or adults with specific dental concerns may be eligible for Invisalign clear aligners. Your dental professional at Peak Dental Care can organise a treatment plan to best fit your needs.
What Dental Concerns Can Invisalign Correct?
If you have any of the following dental concerns, you may choose Invisalign as the best way to straighten your teeth:
- Overbite
- Underbite
- Open bite
- Crowded teeth
- Gapped teeth
- Crooked teeth
How Long Does the Invisalign Process Take?
Once you begin wearing your clear aligners, straightening your teeth takes an average of twelve to eighteen months, but the results vary from person to person. Once your treatment plan is in place, your dentist will:
- Take impressions of your teeth and instruct the lab to create your clear aligners.
- You will then wear your aligners for twenty to twenty-two hours a day, removing them only to eat and care for your teeth.
- You will visit your dentist every four to six weeks so your dentist can evaluate your progress and answer any questions you may have.
- Once your teeth are straight, your dentist may require that you wear a retainer for anywhere from nine to twelve months. The retainer will help hold your teeth in place while your body builds new bone. This new bone stabilises your teeth and gives you the strongest smile possible.
