Invisalign, better known as invisible
braces, have revolutionized the world of orthodontics in the past few years.
These plastic fittings are an excellent substitute for traditional metal or
ceramic braces because they are much more cosmetically favourable.
What is Invisalign Made Of?
Invisible braces are clear,
transparent plastic fittings that are highly flexible and provide a comparable
support to your teeth as any standard braces. They are FDA-approved, safe, and
highly effective.
How Can I Get Invisalign?
After our orthodontists at Wellness
Dental Studio examine your teeth, impressions of your teeth will be taken to
build custom-made invisible braces at our laboratories. These are then fitted
for a certain period of time and adjusted serially after every few months.
Gradually, Invisalign will help
restore the symmetry of your teeth exactly how conventional braces would.
How Do I Know If I Need Invisalign?
The decision of whether you need an
orthodontic treatment will depend after our dentists have taken a careful
history and examination of your oral cavity. If you have problems like
overcrowded teeth, ill-fitting teeth with too many gaps in between, and
problems with biting, you might possibly require orthodontic treatment.
Alignment of your teeth can be done in
multiple ways, through metal braces, ceramic braces or Invisalign – the choice
is yours.
Why Is Invisalign Better Than Traditional Metal Braces?
The biggest advantage of invisible
braces is its appearance and how they merge with your natural teeth. Invisalign
are quite literally invisible and other people may not even know you have
braces on.
The effectiveness of invisible braces
to restore the symmetry of teeth is more or less the same as any other braces
option.
Are There Any Drawbacks of Invisalign?
Perhaps the biggest drawback of
invisible braces is the price point. Compared to metal braces, invisible braces
are more costly; however, they may actually be more cost-effective in the long
run.
Care for Invisalign
Invisalign needs to be managed and cared
for as any other braces. This means you should pay close attention to your oral
hygiene. Brushing and flossing regularly will help prolong the longevity of
these braces.
