How to Brighten Your Smile

It is pretty obvious that we all crave and will do anything to get that perfect smile that we have always wanted. What better way to accomplish this other than using invisalign.

Characteristics of Invisalign

Invisibility- it is clear in colour and making it hard to notice if one has them or not. This way, teeth straightening treatment is discrete and so is the perfection of that smile.

Removable- when using invisalign, one is not limited to certain types of food and drinks just because they are on treatment. They can easily be removed before eating, drinking, brushing teeth and also flossing and be placed right back afterwards.

Comfort ability- they are not made using metal hence you can expect no mouth abrasions during treatment. Also there will be fewer visits to the doctor to make adjustments here and there since they are custom made and in all sizes to fit just perfect accordingly.

How invisalign works

• They are worn for about two weeks before replacement.
• They are removed when one wants to eat, drink, brush and floss.
• The aligners move teeth each week; around 0.25 millimetres with each set.
• To ensure that the treatment is working, it is good to visit the doctor after every six weeks during that period.
• It may take as little time as 9 months and as much as 15 months on average to get the best desired results.
• The number of aligners worn during this period is averagely between 18 and 30 with variation in care and case.

How they are made

3D technology is mainly used in the making of these aligners together with the expertise of the orthodontist. This kind of computer imaging plays a vital role when it comes to invisalign so as to make it perfect and effective.

With this technology, the general oral hygiene is improved since it reduces the risk of cavity and gum infections unlike the metal braces which trap food and cause oral diseases in the process.

Another advantage is that with 3D technology, one is able to view the end result of the treatment plan even before the actual treatment begins. This way you will know what to expect and approve if the result is favourable or make changes if they will not make you happy.
