Well, you may have started to ignore the crooked teeth or have started to live with the way they are but you obviously go out and meet people, have a job and attend some special occasions.
Understandably you want to smile all day and laugh without any restrictions of your teeth showing through and yet not have metal brackets and wires to straighten them.
Great news!!! You don’t have to live with this forever!
For adults Invisalign is a great option for straightening the teeth and bringing out your best smile.
We help with proper tooth alignment so that you do not have to hide your smile.
Invisalign is a treatment consisting of a sequential set of clear plastic aligners. Each set of aligners is worn for a set number of days and it moves your teeth. Then, you changeover to the new set of aligners which moves your teeth further. Eventually your teeth move and you see the results.
The aligners are custom-made so that they hold on tightly to your teeth. Use of Invisalign Brisbane can help reposition incorrectly aligned teeth so that you can smile freely. The use of clear aligners improves dental aesthetics without causing discomfort. Naturally, Invisalign is preferred over metal braces for teeth repositioning.
For most adults who want to have their teeth straightened but don’t want to have big chunks of wires and brackets visible on their front teeth, Invisalign is almost an invisible kind of treatment.
People around you don’t notice you wearing your aligners as they are clear and your teeth still show through them as natural. You can have your front teeth aligned and the treatment may be finished in only a couple of months, as against traditional braces which may last for year(s).
Well, if a pretty smile is what you are looking for, you should look no further than Sandgate Bayside Dental as we deliver quality Invisalign for your teeth. We work pretty methodically when it comes to offering clear aligners for your teeth. Here’s a step-by-step guide to what we do:
Consult
At the initial consult, we ensure that you clearly understand what the whole Invisalign process entails and all your questions are answered. In this step, we also determine whether you are a good candidate for Invisalign Brisbane. This helps you have a clear idea of what you get.
Records
In this step, x-rays, photographs, and moulds of your teeth are taken and sent to Invisalign.
ClinCheck
In the next step, you will get to see an animated 3D model of your teeth that will show you how they will exactly move with the use of Invisalign. This will also help us understand the duration of your treatment.
Regular visits
After the Invisalign has been positioned, you will need to visit our clinic every few weeks. During these visits, we will determine that your teeth are healthy and the repositioning is going on as planned.
Completion
Usually, Invisalign need to be worn for several months for proper alignment. This may, however, vary depending on the arrangement of your teeth. Once the ideal alignment has been achieved, the Invisalign Brisbane will be removed and you will be provided with fixed/removable retainers that will maintain the new alignment.
The beauty of Invisalign is that the aligners are removable which means you do take them off for meal times and like the orthodontic wires they don’t hurt your lips and cheeks while you chew.
If you have a special event, you can remove the aligners for a short period though you should remember the aligners need to be worn for at least 22 hours a day.
Why not call your Sandgate Dentist to find out more about treatment options to correct your teeth alignment? The only thing you have to lose is the malalignment in your teeth!!!
Yes, innumerable people worldwide have had their teeth aligned with Invisalign (and other clear aligners). In short, if done well, they work. Wear them all the time and stick to your dentist’s advice to get the best result.
Yes, you can, though malocclusion is a very broad term and few kinds of malocclusion maybe more difficult to treat than the others hence you need to be assessed by your Invisalign dentist first.
Your aligners need to be worn all the time except at meal time for best result. So to answer, Yes, you can and in fact we recommend that you wear your aligners while you are enjoying your beach time (just don’t lose them!).
Yes, you may. It may actually be of benefit to do so, as you really want your aligners (or retainers) to stay really clean. If you have to swim in the ocean, feel free to swim with your aligners on. Its best to rinse the aligners with fresh water thoroughly afterwards though.
If proper instructions are not followed, its possible to cause some damage to your teeth. Hence its best that your aligner treatment is performed by your Invisalign dentist and you visit them for a review at regular intervals.
This is a common mistake people make. Do not put your aligner in hot water, instead use only lukewarm water to clean them. Very hot water can damage your aligner, which in turn can lead to an ill-fitting aligner and hence delaying your overall treatment.
Your aligners will work best if worn for as long as possible. The instructions are that you take your aligners out only at meal time or to drink anything except water, brush your teeth and put the aligners back. There isn’t any set limit on how often can you take your aligners out to do so.
No. If you follow the instructions and wear the aligners correctly, Invisalign shouldn’t discolour your teeth. If you drink coffee or soft drinks with your aligners on, this may lead to damaging your teeth.
