If you have been thinking about straightening your teeth you need to speak to your dentist and find out about the many different types of braces that are now available thanks to advances in dental technology. For over 100 years, teeth straightening has been carried out using traditional metal braces. These consist of metal brackets, wires, and elastic bands that work together to apply pressure on your teeth and push them into a neater formation. They help to straighten the teeth. However, the modern generation prefers discretion. This is where traditional braces are lacking. Rather they are highly visible in the mouth therefore many teenagers and adults are reluctant to have their teeth straightened. Now there has been a huge change in orthodontic treatment. You can straighten your teeth discreetly with invisible orthodontic options. No one will even notice that you are undergoing orthodontic treatment unless you wish to tell them. If this is what you are looking for then speak to your dentist and find out about Invisalign Sydney.
Invisalign Sydney
Invisalign Sydney is one of the most popular methods of teeth straightening at your discretion. Invisalign Sydney allows you to straighten your teeth without anyone noticing. Invisalign Sydney uses clear thermoplastic aligners to straighten your teeth rather than metal brackets wires and elastic bands. These clear thermoplastic aligners are made of a patented medical grade plastic, which is BPA free, latex free and are non-allergenic. Any reactions to Invisalign aligners are very rare and minor. They can be used in patients of all ages with no upper age limit.
They can be used in patients as young as 6 to 8 years old and they can be used in senior patients too. Invisalign can be used to address a huge range of orthodontic issues. At first, it was thought that they are simply cosmetic. However, with research and further development, Invisalign can now be used to improve the alignment of crooked, wonky teeth, protruding front teeth, overlapping teeth, overcrowded teeth, minor gaps between the teeth and it can be used to treat different types of bite disorders, including overbite, underbite and crossbite. If you are affected by these issues, then you need to speak to your dentist and find out about Invisalign sooner rather than later.
For patients with purely aesthetic orthodontic issues, you can straighten your teeth in as little as 3 to 6 months. For patients with mild, moderate orthodontic issues, you can straighten your teeth in 6 to 12 months and for those with more complex orthodontic needs you can straighten your teeth in 12 to 24 months. With lifelong results, the treatment time is not very long, the sooner you begin the quicker you can enjoy the benefits of straightening your teeth.
How does Invisalign work?
To begin with, it is very important that your teeth are clean and healthy. You may need to undergo professional cleaning before you begin. This will remove any excess plaque and tartar from your teeth. Your hygienist can carry out a scale and polish and even a deep clean where necessary. Your dentist will examine your teeth and gums carefully to make sure that there are no signs of tooth decay, or gum disease. Once your dentist is happy with the health of your teeth and gums, then they can put together an Invisalign treatment plan for you. To do this, they need to carry out a three-dimensional scan of your mouth. This will show a before and after picture of how Invisalign can transform your teeth. This picture is used to calculate the number of aligners you need, and the dentist will be able to design the aligners with accuracy and precision to help you achieve the exact results. You should be able to begin within a few weeks. You will need to visit the dentist for your initial appointment. You may require small attachments to be placed onto the surface of your teeth. Some patients have Invisalign attachments on all of their teeth, whereas other patients only need a few.
Invisalign attachments allow the aligners to grip your teeth providing better movement. The attachments are also invisible and will eventually disappear as a result of wear and tear. Each aligner is worn for two weeks and then you move onto the next liner in the series, until you have completed the process. With the last set of aligners, you can also whiten your teeth by inserting the whitening gel into your aligners. This will transform your smile completely. Speak to your dentist today to find out more about Invisalign and the advantages of straightening your teeth with Invisalign. If you have been avoiding orthodontic treatment, then this could be the ideal solution for you.
