Invisalign Treatment for Your Designer Smile

August 20, 2009 – 6:40 pm

The practice of orthodontics has been documented as far back as 500BC! Historical artefacts have implied that some primitive civilisations were seemingly as concerned with the need for straight teeth as we are today.

By the early 1900s the elementary of metal brackets to straighten teeth had begun in earnest and has been in use as a primary manner for correcting teeth ever since. However, dental technologies have progressed and as we have moved into the 21st Century, the latest innovations in orthodontic treatments have made room for the revolutionary new design known as Invisalign which has developed an alternative to metal braces, with its invisible brace treatment. More effective in its ability to straighten teeth in assistance and with confidence in your personal guise, not only after but indeed during treatment, the Invisalign system has changed the face of orthodontics for the future.

In order to straighten teeth, the Invisalign system involves the controlled use of a course of clear, removable aligners which work to straighten your teeth in a way that is both effective and un-traumatic in its nature.

The aligners are made from a thermoplastic material which is both durable and comfortable to wear. As the process of straightening is underway, your aligners are changed approximately every two weeks, with a new set developed, to bring you gradually closer to your ideal smile, moving your teeth into a straighter position step by step until you have a perfect smile.

One of the major benefits of Invisalign braces comes in the ability to remove them whilst you eat, enabling you to maintain a healthy diet, consisting of the foods you would choose normally, and also enable you to brush and floss your teeth during the time that per your usual routine, keeping you happy and healthy throughout your treatment.

An medium Invisalign course of usage takes around a year and at regular intervals, during which you will receive a new set of custom-moulded clear aligners to continue the straightening process, determined in number by the nature of the individual treatment needs.

Because there are no metal wires and brackets, Invisalign is comfortable. With Invisalign, there’s nothing to hide. Dr Craig Duval
