Invisalign is a popular orthodontic system that uses clear aligners to discreetly shift teeth into straighter and more desirable positions. The system works gradually for maximum comfort and precision.
Invisalign can aid in the following:
- Crooked Teeth
- Overlapping Teeth
- Twisted Teeth
- Bite Misalignment
- Unusual Spacing
However, to ensure candidacy, we have you first book an Invisalign consultation in Mount Waverley.
How Invisalign® Works and the Benefits
We craft Invisalign aligners from digital impressions of your teeth. Each aligner tray is slightly different, so when you switch (approximately every two weeks) to a new set in the series, your teeth are gently nudged into more desirable positions.
Across the treatment timeline, your teeth gradually move into their final straight positions, closing gaps and pushing twisted teeth upright.
After Invisalign treatment, your dentist crafts a retainer to keep your teeth in their new positions.
Following all instructions and wearing your aligners in sequence is crucial to achieve predictable results.
Invisalign for crooked teeth in Mount Waverley offers a variety of benefits as well:
- Removability: You can remove your aligners to eat and clean your teeth.
- Comfort: Many patients feel Invisalign is more comfortable than traditional braces.
- Discretion: Invisalign is nearly invisible. People may not even notice you’re in treatment.
Of course, there are benefits after orthodontic treatment, such as straight teeth, more productive brushing and flossing, and potentially less wear and tear on your teeth and jaw joints.
The Invisalign Process: How It All Works
- Consultation: Meet with the dentist to determine candidacy or whether you’ll need pretreatments.
- Impressions: We take impressions to ensure your aligners fit correctly.
- Treatment: You follow your dentist’s instructions during the treatment timeline.
- Retainer: We fit you with a smile retainer to protect your new smile alignment.
Treatment timelines vary by patient and complexity.
