Invisalign Used to treat irregularities in the alignment of teeth, Invisalign is a discrete, painless and invisible way to straighten teeth using a series of custom-made, virtually undetectable aligners. Whether teeth are crowded, too far apart or have shifted since wearing braces, we will help you gain a straight smile. All you have to do is change your custom-made plastic aligners according to Invisalign recommendations. How it works Stage 1: Visit your dentist Upon initial examination your dentist decides if Invisalign is right for you. You dentist will write a treatment plan and take an impression of your teeth, which are submitted to Invisalign. Using the latest advances in 3-D computer technology, invisalign carefully translates your dentist's instructions into a series of precisely custom-made aligners. You wear each aligner in sequence for two weeks at a time and gradually, millimetre by millimetre you will achieve the intended result - straighter teeth. You can remove your Invisalign aligners to continue to enjoy a full range of your favourite foods and most importantly for brushing and flossing. Only dentists who have been trained and certified can treat patients using Invisalign technology. Please visit www.invisalign.com for more information Stage 2: Invisalign® makes your aligners Invisalign® uses advanced 3-D computer imaging technology to transform your bite impressions into a custom-made series of clear and removable aligners. There may be as many as 48 in the series or as few as 12, depending on your individual treatment plan. Stage 3: You receive your aligners in a few weeks During your next visit to your orthodontist, you will receive your first set aligners. Your orthodontist will most likely give you a few additional sets for you to wear before you return for your next visit. Stage 4: You wear your aligners You'll wear each set of aligners day and night for about 2 weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. Total treatment time averages 9-15 months, but will vary from case to case. You'll visit your orthodontist only about every 6 weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned. |
