Invisalign Clear Aligners
The clear alternative to braces
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is the modern way to straighten teeth. Their system consists of a series of custom-made aligners made from a smooth, comfortable plastic. These aligners fit securely over your teeth and are nearly invisible.
Problems Clear Aligners Can Fix
Invisalign clear aligners are capable of addressing various orthodontic concerns, such as:
- Crooked Teeth: Misaligned teeth can impact both your bite and overall aesthetics.
- Gaps Between Teeth: Spaces can lead to cosmetic issues and may cause dental complications over time.
- Overbite: When the upper teeth significantly overlap the lower teeth, it can result in discomfort and wear.
- Underbite: This condition occurs when the lower teeth extend beyond the upper teeth, affecting jaw alignment.
- Crossbite: This happens when the upper and lower teeth do not align properly, potentially leading to uneven wear and jaw problems.
- Open Bite: This condition is characterised by a gap between the upper and lower teeth when the mouth is closed.
Clear Aligners Benefits
Opting for Invisalign provides several advantages over traditional metal braces:
- Aesthetic Appeal: These aligners are virtually invisible, making them discreet; many clients report that others rarely notice them.
- Comfort: Crafted from smooth plastic, Invisalign aligners offer enhanced comfort compared to metal braces, minimising irritation to gums and cheeks.
- Removability: The aligners can be easily removed for eating, drinking, and oral hygiene, facilitating better maintenance of dental health.
- Fewer Office Visits: Invisalign generally requires fewer in-person appointments, allowing for greater convenience and flexibility in your schedule.
- Predictable Results: Using advanced technology, we can outline your entire treatment plan, so you know what to expect throughout the process.
