Why should I get Invisalign?

If you are unhappy with how your smile looks, and want to find a way to help improve that, then speak to your dentist today about getting Invisalign in Sydney CBD!

What is Invisalign?

This dental treatment consists of clear, plastic aligners that can straighten your teeth over time. You will change the aligners yourself throughout the process, and visit your dentist every 6-8 weeks so they can check progress.

How does it all work?

As with any dental treatment, you will firstly have a consultation appointment so you and your dentist can make sure that Sydney CBD Invisalign is right for you. Once this is decided, then you go on to have scans taken of your teeth so your custom aligners can be created. By having these scans, your dentist can usually show you what your teeth will ideally look like at the end if you follow all of the correct steps. This is great as it gets our patients excited as they see what their teeth could look like in the future.

It can take a few weeks for your aligners to be created, and once they are complete, your dentist will give them to you. During this time, you can also ask your dentist any questions you may have about the process and they will give you good tips on the best way to clean your aligners, and other important information.

And that’s it, your journey has begun! You will change the aligners in the comfort of your own home, and take care of them as guided. This is great for our busier patients that don’t have time for constant dental appointments. The whole process can take around 6-12 months depending on your needs. And you will only have to visit your dentist a few times during this for quick check-ups.

Taking care of your teeth and aligners throughout this process is fairly easy, and not massively time-consuming. All you have to do is make sure you take your aligners out when you eat, clean your teeth and pop them back in. As for the aligners themselves, all you need to do is give them a brush with your toothbrush when you brush your natural teeth and rinse them with cold water.

Advantages

There are many advantages that come with getting Invisalign in Sydney CBD, the most popular one being the appearance of the retainers themselves. Because they are thin and clear, other people will barely notice that you have them in.

The comfort of these aligners is also a great advantage, due to the plastic material used, there is way less risk of anything scraping or stabbing the inside of your mouth.

A lot of patients love the fact that they can change their aligners from the comfort of their own home. It allows people to have some control in their journey to straighter teeth, and as mentioned above, it is great for those busier people who have less time for appointments.

Another advantage that people love about this treatment is that there are no restrictions on the foods you can eat. This is due to you being able to take the aligners out when you eat, therefore not limiting your food variety.

Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
