INVISALIGN
What is Invisalign?
The Invisalign is a universal system that consists of customized plastic aligners to straighten the teeth. It is patented technology that is used across the world, so it is easy for people who travel or move around to gain access to specialists and continue their treatment, no matter where they are. They are a great way to align teeth for adults especially as they are almost invisible to others due being made of clear plastic trays. Unlike traditional braces, check-ups are more flexible compared which work perfectly for those who are busy with work.
How does it work?
The patented trays, “SmartTrack” applies consistent force on different teeth so that the teeth move in predicted ways to achieve optimum movement, reducing the time it takes to complete the treatment. Each tray is made according to each patient’s specific treatment plan.
Length of treatment
The length of treatment is different for each patient because each patient’s case is different. The length of time can be predicted with the ClinCheck testing and will provide a simulation of how the patient can expect their teeth to move throughout their treatment. On average, treatment time ranges between a year to a year and a half but may vary according to the patient’s case.
Important!
With the ease of the Invisalign, some assume that it is an easy process because they consist of trays and can be taken off; however, it is imperative that the patient follows the rules – keeping on their Invisalign 24 hours, only taking them off to eat, drink, and brush teeth. (Only drinking water is allowed with the trays on.) Not following this will cause delay and push back the estimated treatment completion date.
