Many people’s biggest insecurity is their smile. Having perfectly aligned teeth not only boosts self-confidence but also contributes to overall oral health. However, traditional braces with metal brackets and wires usually put people off due to their appearance and discomfort. Fortunately, advancements in orthodontic technology have led to the invention of Invisalign, a revolutionary alternative to traditional braces.
Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that uses clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth. These custom-made aligners are made of a smooth and virtually invisible plastic material, making them almost undetectable when worn. Unlike traditional braces, there are no metal parts or wires involved, making them a more comfortable and aesthetically pleasing option.
The treatment process begins with a consultation with a dentist who is trained in providing Invisalign. They will evaluate your teeth and create a 3D image using advanced technology to map out the desired movement of your teeth. Based on this image, a series of custom-made aligners will be created for you to wear. Each set of aligners is worn for approximately two weeks, gradually moving your teeth into the desired position.
When you start wearing your new aligners, you may feel some slight discomfort initially, but this is normal and part of the process. The discomfort will fade away as your teeth gradually adjust to the aligners. During the process, keeping your aligners clean is essential to help avoid bacteria buildup. Cleaning your aligners every night with a soft bristle brush can help prevent this. If you are ready to transform your smile, schedule your consultation with Bromley Smiles today.
Benefits of Invisalign
Aesthetically pleasing
As mentioned before, the clear plastic material makes Invisalign almost invisible when worn, making it a popular choice among adults and teenagers. This allows for a more natural smile while undergoing the treatment.
The smooth plastic material used in Invisalign aligners is much more comfortable compared to traditional braces, which can often cause discomfort and irritation due to metal parts and wires.
Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners are removable. This means that you can take them out when eating, drinking, or brushing your teeth. This makes it easier to maintain good oral hygiene during the treatment process.
With traditional braces, there are certain food restrictions due to the risk of damaging the wires and brackets. However, with Invisalign, you can eat whatever you want as long as you remove the aligners beforehand.
The length of the Invisalign treatment varies depending on the individual’s specific orthodontic needs. On average, it takes between 6-18 months for adults and 12-24 months for teenagers. However, this can differ from person to person, and your dentist will be able to give you a more accurate estimate after an initial consultation. We even offer the ability to split the cost of your Invisalign treatment with DivideBuy. This allows you to break the cost up into smaller and more manageable amounts, enabling you to pay it off over time.
