The benefits of Invisalign treatment

In this look at Invisalign treatment, we consider what it is, who it is for and how your teeth can get the best out of it.

Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment designed to align teeth correctly. Using computer-generated images and impressions, dentists are able to build moulds to reset badly positioned teeth.

While both Invisalign and traditional braces share the same objective of improving aesthetic facial features and oral health, there are significant differences for patients to weigh up before treatment.

The most obvious distinction, and a major source of their appeal, is that Invisalign aligners are manufactured using transparent plastic, which makes them almost invisible compared to traditional metallic wires and elastic bands.

Additionally, they are easier to remove and reinstall than fixed wire frames, although patients are advised to wear their trays for 20 to 22 hours a day.

Another key advantage is that the process is considerably shorter than for traditional braces. Traditional braces are typically worn for an average of two years, whereas Invisalign trays are only needed for six to 18 months.

While Invisalign products are more expensive, the costs are not noticeably different, although this will depend on personal requirements.

Invisalign braces can be worn by anyone, and are suitable for both children and adults seeking to improve their teeth alignment, or project a more winning smile.
