What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is an innovative teeth straightening system which uses a series of custom-made aligners to gently and effectively correct teeth misalignment, including gaps and overbites. Many people find themselves feeling self-conscious or unhappy with the way their teeth look, even if they’ve had braces in the past or thought they had straight teeth as a child. Being proud of your smile can transform your confidence, approach to life and relationships. Invisalign works with you over the course of 4 to 12 months to create your perfect smile with minimal disruption.

Despite its differences from traditional braces, many people have similar concerns about Invisalign. Common misapprehensions include the idea that it will be as painful as full brace treatment, that the aligners will be inconvenient and unsightly, and that it is a private treatment and therefore not affordable.

What You Need to Know

As Invisalign is designed to correct subtle misalignment and create perfection in your smile, it should not be significantly uncomfortable. Where bigger changes are made, this is done gradually, with aligners changed every week, meaning that the process is smoother and less sudden than traditional brace tightening. This allows your teeth to adapt to each aligner, which they should do within a few days, and then settle before the next change is made. If the initial discomfort does happen to get you down, simply picture the projected image of your smile that you’ll see at the end of your treatment; every aligner takes you one step closer to that!

Nobody wants to feel self-conscious about their smile, even during treatment, and Invisalign offers a solution to this concern; the series of easy to use aligners are made especially for you and therefore, once fitted, will be almost completely invisible. The system doesn’t use wires, bands or glue, meaning that you remain in control throughout your treatment process, and can watch your smile gradually taking shape. Though you should wear your retainer for 20 to 22 hours per day, you can remove it for eating and teeth brushing, so it will fit perfectly into your lifestyle, with none of the unsightly wires or inconvenience of traditional braces.
