WHAT IS INVISALIGN?
Invisalign is the most famous brand of clear (see through) aligners designed to move your teeth to a planned position. It is a removable alternative to having unsightly fixed (and normally) silver braces stuck on your teeth.
The system is available to all save for a very few contraindications ( seek an Invisalign consultation with your dentist)
Although the system was first put to the market in around the year 2000, the last 10 years especially has seen exceptional popularity for Invisalign.
What sets the system apart to other companies of removable aligners is mainly in the material itself, its much stronger and allows for 50% approx. quicker completion than other brands when doing similar cases.
A sequence of numbered successive trays is used roughly 5-20, each for use for 1 week.
WHAT ARE THE HEALTHCARE BENEFITS OF HAVING STRAIGHTER TEETH WITH INVISALIGN?
Having straighter teeth with Invisalign isn’t only an aesthetic benefit. The following are serious benefits of orthodontic treatment:
- Less stress on individual teeth meaning much less chances of quicker tooth wear and teeth chipping/breaking
- Less likely to have plaque building up in inaccessible places
- Reducing loading of muscles active in chewing
- Reducing the chances of tooth decay
- Minimizing the chances of TMD (temporomandibular disorder)
