The restrictive brackets & wires of traditional metal braces can trap bits of food & make cleaning your teeth more difficult. If you don’t thoroughly clean your teeth while wearing metal braces, you may end up with stains when they’re removed.
With Invisalign®, there is no need for fixed wires & brackets, so you won’t have to worry about food stuck in your braces. Plus you can smile confidently without trying to hide a mouthful of metal! Placing & removing Invisalign® aligners is seamless & convenient, & they can be easily removed before meals or social engagements. Even when you’re wearing them, they are discreet & blend in with your smile.
Our platinum status means that we have successfully treated over 300 Invisalign patients. Call for details.
Invisalign® uses a series of clear aligners to straighten your teeth. Each clear aligner only shifts your teeth slightly, so you need to “upgrade” them every two weeks. You’ll wear around 20 to 30 sets of aligners before your treatment is finished. Some patients need to wear more sets & others need to wear fewer. It all depends on your specific case!
It is a powerful tool for treating minor to moderate orthodontic problems. If your problem is severe enough, we may not be able to treat your case with Invisalign® aligners. Traditional metal braces are a reliable alternative that can correct most bite issues. To find out which treatment is best for you, please call for a consultation today!
Removable aligners are handy, but taking them out too frequently can make your treatment more difficult. If you spend too much time without wearing them, you can actually lose progress & increase the time & expense of your Invisalign® treatment. You may even need to go back to wearing an old pair of aligners! Dentists recommend keeping your aligners on for at least 22 hours a day. Only remove them for meals & special occasions, & keep track of the amount of time they aren’t in your mouth. If you tend to be forgetful, you may be better off with traditional braces.

As your treatment progresses, each new set will have minor adjustments. You may notice that a new set doesn’t fit quite right at first. This is because your teeth need to shift to fit the aligner’s shape. Invisalign® is a gradual process, so each aligner only moves a few specific teeth at a time. Your dentist or orthodontist will check up on your progress every few weeks & give you new sets of clear aligners based on your current progress.
The pressure from the aligner is strong enough to move most teeth, but some may need an extra push. Your dentist or orthodontist can add attachments to help guide your teeth into place. An attachment is made with a small dot of liquid bonding resin that is applied to a specific tooth & hardened with a special curing light. This dot helps make contact with the aligner, applying extra force to teeth that may not shift on their own. Adding & later removing this bonding resin is a simple process that doesn’t require any anaesthesia.

INVISALIGN PATIENT CARE BROCHURE
Teeth are often crowded, and cross bite is when teeth are sitting in the opposite direction. Like the upper front teeth are on the inside of the lower teeth. Invisalign is a nice gentle way of moving the teeth back into the correct position. Invisalign will apply the slow gentle forces to the predetermined position to produce a beautiful smile.,
Gapped teeth are annoying as they trap food and don't produce and aesthetic smile. Gapped teeth can develop over time as you grow older, or they can be something that you are born with. Invisalign will fix gapped teeth in a short space of time and produce a beautiful smile. Sometimes with gapped teeth you may need some bonding in order to make the teeth the right proportions. Invisalign has a number of features which will allow us to pretest and see what our end result will be.
Crowded teeth are the most common problem people come in with. Crowded teeth result in you not being able to clean your teeth well and hence more problems with decay and tartar build up. Apart from that the aesthetic aspects often can result in you not being as confident in yourself. Invisalign has the ability to move teeth in different directions at the same time. Invisalign is also hardly noticeable to that mean you can carry on your normal life without being more self-conscious as Invisalign treatment progress's.
Underbites happen because there is a larger growth of the lower jaw compared to the upper jaw. Invisalign can help in developing plans to move the teeth and what additional techniques we can use to ensure we achieve a good outcome for you. Invisalign allows up to plan in detail the correct approach for you.
Often our teeth are in the right place but just in the wrong direction or angulation which can result in the smile not looking straight. Invisalign is a great way to correct this problem and achieve a straighter healthier looking smile.
Open bites can be either in the front or the back teeth. Invisalign is really good at closing anterior open bites. Posterior ones can be a bit harder, however the gentle sustained forces of Invisalign will gradually bring the teeth together
