INVISALIGN – THE INVISIBLE ALTERNATIVE TO BRACES
I remember a time when in my childhood I looked at other children who had metal braces in their mouths and thinking how ugly they looked. Little did I understand at that point that they were used to align crooked teeth. Nowadays you do not see many children having braces in their teeth. Is it because they do not need them or they are no longer manufactured? Maybe they have been replaced. Yes that is true. Conventional metal braces have now been replaced with the trendy and invisible braces called Invisalign. That is the reason you cannot see the metal braces in the children’s mouths. They are wearing Invisalign braces.
What Is Invisalign IN Melbourne
Invisalign are similar to gum shields. They are clear, tailor made “aligners” that gradually and sequentially move the teeth to their correct position. These aligners are transparent and therefore very difficult to notice if a person is wearing them or not.
The aligners are changed every two weeks to ensure that they are putting the correct pressure on the teeth and keep them from moving back to their original positions. Invisalign braces should be worn for at least 20 hours each day for maximum results.
How Does Invisalign Work?
When you visit an orthodontist, he will take X rays, pictures and impressions of your teeth and create a 3D impression, from which he will chart out your treatment plan. The normal treatment period is one year. Sometimes it may last longer. Aligners will be custom made for you from your impressions.
Once you start wearing your aligners, you need to make sure that you wear them for at least 20 hours. The aligners need to be changed every two weeks so that your teeth can move to the next stage. You will need to visit your dentist occasionally so that he can check the progress of your treatment.
Advantages Of Invisalign
2. Invisible – As they are very clear, they are as good as invisible and no one will know that you are wearing braces. This makes them attractive compared to metal braces.
3. Invisalign is used to treat crowding, cross bite, overbite, under bite and spacing.
4. It is made out of clear smooth plastic that does not irritate the gums and cheek, whereas metal braces do cause irritation.
5. Visits to the dentist are every four to six weeks, saving you time.
6. No problems of wires poking or irritating you, or broken brackets.
7. Invisalign is cool and comfortable. Whereas metal braces use a lot of force to align your teeth, aligners do it gently and comfortably.
At the end of the treatment there is every reason to celebrate. You now have perfectly aligned teeth and no one even knew that you were undergoing treatment to align them. After your treatment is complete, it is recommended that you wear your aligners every night so that your teeth remain in position. Otherwise all that hard work and money will go down the drain.
If you are one of those who needs Invisalign Melbourne, but did not go for treatment as you did not want metal braces, fear not. With this modern and trendy method of teeth alignment, you will have the perfect set of whites in no time. So make your appointment with Captivate Dental and let them work their magic on you.
