A straight and healthy smile is not only attractive but also beneficial for oral health. It can prevent tooth decay, gum disease, and jaw problems. However, traditional braces can be uncomfortable, inconvenient, and embarrassing for some people, especially adults. Fortunately, there is an alternative to metal wires and brackets: Invisalign. Clarendon Dental in Portsmouth offers this modern solution to orthodontic problems.

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a type of clear aligner that can straighten teeth without the use of metal or wires. It is a custom-made set of removable trays that gradually shift teeth into the desired position. Invisalign aligners are made of smooth and comfortable plastic that won’t irritate your cheeks and gums. They are virtually invisible, so most people won’t even notice that you are wearing them.

How does Invisalign work?

Invisalign treatment begins with a consultation with a certified Invisalign provider like Clarendon Dental. The dentist will assess your oral health and discuss your goals and expectations. They will take digital impressions of your teeth using a 3D scanner, which will create a virtual treatment plan. You can see how your teeth will move and how long the treatment will take.

Based on the treatment plan, the dentist will create a series of custom-made aligners. You will wear each set of aligners for about two weeks and then switch to the next one. Each aligner will move your teeth a little closer to the desired position. The duration of the treatment depends on the complexity of your case but typically takes 12-18 months.

Why choose Invisalign?

Invisalign offers several advantages over traditional braces. Here are some of them:

1. Clear and invisible: Invisalign aligners are made of clear plastic that blends in with your teeth, making them virtually invisible. You can smile and talk with confidence without feeling self-conscious about metal wires and brackets.
2. Removable: Invisalign aligners are removable, which means you can take them out when eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. You don’t have to worry about food getting stuck in your braces or changing your diet.
3. Comfortable: Invisalign aligners are made of smooth plastic that won’t irritate your cheeks and gums. You won’t experience the discomfort and soreness that come with metal wires and brackets.
4. Efficient: Invisalign treatment is often faster than traditional braces because the aligners apply constant and gentle pressure to the teeth, resulting in more predictable and efficient tooth movement.
5. Predictable results: Invisalign uses advanced technology to create a 3D model of your teeth and simulate the treatment outcome. You can see the final result before you even start the treatment.
