How does Invisalign work?

Here at Neel Dentistry, you will first undergo a thorough consultation with your dentist to check for your eligibility for Invisalign Welwyn. This will include a full examination of your mouth to ensure that your teeth are clean and healthy to begin with. X-rays and a digital scan will be carried out of your mouth which will be given to the technicians to help create the aligners that are used for the treatment. The 3D simulation of your mouth will show an accurate prediction of how your teeth may look following successful treatment of your issues using Invisalign Welwyn. The digital scan will ensure that the aligners are manufactured accurately and precisely to provide you with optimal comfort and are specifically designed to move your teeth gradually into the desired position. The treatment uses a series of aligners. Each aligner needs to be worn for at least 20 hours a day for two weeks and then you can move onto the next aligner in the series. Overall, this treatment can take from 6 months to 18 months according to the extent of the movement of the teeth required to reach the desired results.

What are the advantages of Invisalign?

There are many advantages of Invisalign Welwyn. Firstly as hinted in the name, Invisalign aligners are transparent orthodontic devices, they are clear and therefore almost invisible which makes them an attractive option for straightening teeth, especially in adults who may be embarrassed or reluctant to find out more about orthodontics because of the visual appearance of traditional metal braces. Another advantage of Invisalign is that it provides precise and predictable results, as the digital imaging which is used to develop the aligners ensure precision and can show you an accurate prediction of how your teeth will look following successful treatment. They are removable and can be taken out and placed back in the mouth as and when necessary. This means they are very convenient and do not present any restrictions, as the aligners can be removed if they are a hindrance in your daily activities such as eating or cleaning your teeth. They are also very easy to clean and only require brushing with an ordinary toothbrush and toothpaste and washing with warm water.  Invisalign has made cosmetic dentistry convenient and accessible for all, speak to us at Neel Dentistry today to find out how Invisalign can help you smile more beautifully and confidently.
