Invisalign
Invisalign® is a very popular orthodontic treatment which focuses on straightening your teeth over a series of clear plastic aligners that are custom designed and fitted to you. Overall the treatment is fast, comfortable and a convenient alternative for straightening your teeth, since the aligners are virtually invisible and require no obstructive metal appliances.
Our practice has years of experience providing Invisalign® treatment using sophisticated technology to simulate your new smile. See below to understand the full Invisalign® process.
Invisalign Procedure
During treatment you will switch to a new aligner every two weeks – meaning there is no pain or discomfort from tightening or adjusting metal supports. It’s advised you wear Invisalign aligners for at-least 20-22 hours per day, only removing the appliance when neccessary for daily activities like eating, drinking and brushing teeth. The entire process can take as little as a few months, up to a year depending on the severity of an individuals case.
Planning the movements for your teeth is achieved through an advanced software which has been developed over many years from over 5 million Invisalign cases. Integrated Dental Care is equipped with this advanced technology named iTero® or Trios Digital Impression System – which models your teeth in a 3-D environment, indicating what your teeth will look like over the course of treatment.
Using this model another complex software called ClinCheck® is used to calculate the series of movements, forces, and pressure required to shift your teeth into place. Allowing Invisalign technicians to create a series of custom aligners which will successfully shift your teeth over the given timeframe.
Advantages
- Appearance – traditional braces are composed of uncomfortable metal brackets and fitting which can appear unattractive in the mouth, especially if food and plaque builds up. Invisalign® on the other hand is barely noticeable since they’re made from a clear plastic material called SmartTrack®
- Comfort – Aligners are precisely cut using lasers – meaning there is no obstruction on gums or sensitive tissues. Additionally, the aligners are removable allowing a person to eat, drink, and maintain regular dental habits as normal.
- Safety – metal braces contain protruding wires and metal which can scratch or puncture the inside of your mouth and gums. Comparatively Invisaligns SmartTrack® material is smooth and comfortable precisely made to reduce damage to sensitive areas such as gums.
- Duration – With advanced technology and a huge track record of cases, Invisalign®can greatly reduce the treatment time-frame.
