Introduction to Invisalign
The Invisalign system is truly revolutionary in its approach to straightening teeth. Instead of using fixed brackets and wires, Invisalign uses clear plastic aligners, similar to a retainer worn at the end of treatment. These aligners are made from a special plastic that is firm but lightweight and comfortable. The aligners apply pressure to the teeth at strategic points to help move them into the optimum position. Treatment can take as little as 6 months for some simple cases, with more complex cases taking around 18-24 months. Since the aligners are removable and clear, you won’t have to make any big adjustments to your life during the treatment plan.
Benefits of Clear and Removable Braces
Invisalign is a popular choice for teeth straightening in Oxford as it allows patients to complete treatment without any drastic changes to their routine. The aligners need to be worn for around 20-22 hours per day, which means you’ll also wear them at night. They can be removed when you eat, drink anything other than cold water, or when you brush your teeth. The low profile aligners are also barely perceptible when worn, which is ideal if you are self-conscious about wearing fixed metal braces. At the start of treatment, patients receive their aligners for the full treatment plan, which means you don’t need to visit for every adjustment. As a result, you’ll spend less time in the dentist’s chair.
When To Consider Fixed Braces
Fixed braces and Invisalign aligners can deliver very similar results, but the treatment plan is quite different. There are some situations that may call for a different approach to treatment. This is why an orthodontic consult is so important to help you to make the right choice. Patients who might forget to wear their aligners, or those who are worried about losing an aligner might be better suited to a fixed braces solution. There are ways to make fixed braces more discreet, including using tooth-coloured brackets and clear wires. Before choosing a teeth straightening system, make sure that you are fully aware of all of the options available to you.
