Invisalign®
Invisalign® is a type of orthodontic treatment that uses clear plastic aligners to gradually straighten teeth. It is an alternative to traditional metal braces and is popular among both adults and teenagers.
The clear aligners are custom-made to fit each patient's teeth and are worn for approximately 22 hours a day, with the patient removing them for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. As treatment progresses, patients receive a new set of aligners every few weeks, with each set gradually moving the teeth closer to their desired position.
Some of the benefits of Invisalign® include:
Aesthetics: Invisalign® aligners are made of clear plastic, making them much less noticeable than traditional metal braces.
Comfort: Invisalign® aligners are smooth and do not have any sharp edges or wires that can irritate the mouth.
Convenience: Invisalign® aligners are removable, allowing patients to eat, brush, and floss as normal.
Improved oral health: Crooked or misaligned teeth can be difficult to clean properly, which can lead to a higher risk of tooth decay and gum disease. By straightening the teeth, Invisalign® can improve oral hygiene and reduce the risk of these problems.
Shorter treatment time: In some cases, Invisalign® treatment can be completed in a shorter amount of time than traditional braces.
It is important to note that Invisalign® may not be suitable for everyone, and a consultation is necessary to determine the best treatment option for each individual case.
