Do you have crooked or uneven teeth that you want to be straightened, but you aren’t interested in traditional metal braces? The dentists at Smile Style offer a perfect way to achieve straight teeth — Invisalign® for adults and teens. Our trained dentists use high-tech 3D computer imaging technology to create your treatment plan and a series of customised aligners made from a medical-grade polymer (plastic), which is safe and durable.
At every stage, you’ll be able to see your progress and enjoy your smile as it transforms. Invisalign is an orthodontic product that effectively helps correct a number of different orthodontic issues and gives you a balanced, even smile. Primarily the advantage of Invisalign is the use of clear, removable aligners which can straighten teeth whilst being flexible and less noticeable than solutions like traditional braces.
Procedure
Your custom aligners are typically worn for a period of 6 to 18 months, depending on the severity of your case. Throughout this time, you change your aligners on a two-week basis. Each aligner is designed to slightly re-position your teeth gradually to create that straight smile that you deserve. Each week that passes by, you will notice your teeth getting straighter and straighter!
You can remove the aligners every time you eat, floss or clean your teeth, however they must be worn day and night. They are virtually undetectable and are more comfortable than traditional styles of orthodontic treatment.
Advantages
Our patients love Invisalign® clear braces for several reasons, including:
✔ Quick, easy, and stress-free steps to get started!
✔ Requires few follow-up appointments— we recommend an in-office appointment with us every 4-6 weeks to monitor your progress.
✔ Removes easily so you can tend to your regular activities (eating, brushing, flossing).
✔ Appeals to more age groups due to its near-invisible appearance; it is an appealing solution for adults who do not want traditional metal orthodontic braces.
✔ Produces incredible results that will always have you smiling!
Appearance, comfort and safety are key characteristics that set Invisalign treatment apart from traditional methods like braces. The clear plastic material called SmartTrack®, which is used for all Invisalign aligners, is precisely cut using lasers meaning there is no obstruction on gums or sensitive tissues. Moreover the plastic aligners are removable allowing a person to eat, drink, and maintain regular dental habits as normal. A much safer solution since there are no metal braces that contain protruding wires which can scratch or puncture the inside of your mouth and gums
✔ Preventing the painful and uncomfortable consequences of wearing traditional braces (i.e., mouth blisters, difficulty eating).
✔ Eliminating the constant need to change rubber bands that come with traditional braces.
✔ Removing the need to sacrifice certain foods when using Invisalign. With traditional braces, patients are advised to steer clear of peanuts, popcorn, and many other hard foods or snacks.
Calculated Treatment
From your first aligner to your brand-new smile, there is no guesswork. An advanced Trios Digital Impression System models your teeth in a 3-D environment, indicating what your teeth look like.
Using this model another complex software called ClinCheck® is used to calculate the series of movements, forces, and pressures required to shift your teeth into place. Allowing Invisalign technicians to create a series of custom aligners which will successfully shift your teeth over a given time-frame.
