Invisalign An Aesthetic Alternative to Braces at Victoria Street Dental

There are several advantages to Invisalign treatment, not the least of which is that they are virtually invisible. They are a very effective way to straighten teeth, and are the ‘clear alternative to braces, giving you a virtually invisible treatment option that lets you keep your confidence, beautiful smile, and lifestyle even when you are in treatment.

Invisalign aligners are also more comfortable, with no metal brackets to irritate your gums or the inside of your mouth, and are completely removable, so it’s easier to clean your teeth and maintain your oral health during treatment. Also,

Invisalign treatment typically requires fewer dentist visits than some types of braces. Finally, Invisalign treatment allows you to visualise each stage of the treatment process, from the beginning to the end. 
With their proprietary SmartForce Technology, the Invisalign system uses a series of custom-made removable aligners created for you and only you. These aligners are made of a virtually invisible plastic that you wear over your teeth to gradually move them to the ideal position. Most people won’t even notice you’re wearing them, allowing you to keep your lifestyle during treatment. The Invisalign system is available through Invisalign-trained dentists who determine the treatment plan.

Once you and your Invisalign-trained dentists agree that Invisalign treatment is right for you, your dentist will take photos, X-rays, and either impressions or a scan of your teeth. These records will be used to make a 3D treatment plan, referred to as the ClinCheck treatment plan, which will be used to design the custom-made Invisalign aligners. This 3D treatment plan will also show your likely final tooth position at the end of the treatment. Your custom-made Invisalign aligners will be produced and then shipped to your dentist, who will then give you a series of aligners, typically three to four sets at a time. You will replace each one approximately every two weeks until the final position of your teeth is reached.

Other methods of aligning teeth include traditional braces, ceramic braces, and lingual braces. In comparing these teeth alignment methods, it’s useful to consider aesthetics, efficiency, effect on oral hygiene, comfort during treatment, compliance and removal, so for more information on tooth crowns, emergency dentist appointments, root canal treatments and toothache pain relief please go to http://www.victoriastreetdental.co.nz .
