Clear, invisible aligners are a great alternative for anyone wanting to avoid adult braces. Here, we explore what Invisalign is and how they can give you a perfect smile.
Smiling is the most natural thing in the world — and yet, there are a huge number of people who find grinning in public or in photographs so daunting they deliberately hide their teeth.
According to a recent survey, more than a third of adults in the UK hate their teeth and believe the state of their smiles has held them back in life — notably with regards to their personal lives and their careers. The same survey found that teeth came third in a list of things we stress about most in life — tailing closely behind finances and relationships. One in five says that as a result, they are becoming more introverted.
Exposing their pearly whites has become a source of insecurity and shame for many, but thankfully we have a solution for the cautious smilers of the world — it comes in the form of invisible braces, otherwise known as Invisalign.
According to a recent survey, Dublin dentist can help you with your smile makeover.
What Is Invisalign? How Do Clear Braces Work?
Put simply, Invisalign (sometimes referred to as clear aligners) are clear braces that are at the forefront of cosmetic dentistry technology. They are a method of teeth straightening that is virtually invisible, distinguishing them from more traditional metal braces. Invisalign is custom-made with SmartTrack material, and they are designed to fit your teeth and gradually reposition them over time. Invisalign fits comfortably over your teeth and are clinically proven to improve control of teeth movement. Every three or four weeks, you will need to visit your dentist for a new set to get your teeth to straighten into their ideal position.
Is Invisalign Right for Me?
Invisalign is ideal for anyone who is insecure about the state of their teeth. Invisible braces are great for patients with:
- Gaps in their teeth (otherwise known as Diastema)
- Crooked teeth
- Overcrowded teeth
- A clear overbite
- An underbite
- A deep bite
Any of the conditions above could cause further complications, so it is best to resolve the problem as soon as possible.
What Is the Procedure for Invisalign?
The first step of getting Invisalign starts with a trip to Pembroke Dental, your favourite Dublin dentist. We begin by making an impression of your teeth. We then move on to evaluating your smile and mapping out a customised digital treatment plan so that you can visualise the ultimate results. We then ask you to approve your custom plan, and we begin to craft your unique aligners using the mould of your teeth.
We ask you to wear each set of aligners for up to twenty-two hours a day, and we change your set of Invisalign aligners every few weeks, depending on your particular needs. The results will be comfortable and seamless, and in no time at all, your teeth will shift into place and you’ll be left with a dazzling new smile.
Once I Have Invisalign, How Often Do I Need to See My Dentist?
Our Dentist here in Dublin 4, Doctor Keenan, will schedule regular Invisalign appointments for you — usually about once every three or four weeks. These dental visits are to ensure your Invisalign treatment is progressing as planned and you are on track to your perfect smile.
The whole process usually takes up to eighteen months to complete, although this could be longer, depending on the severity of misalignment or other dental issues you may have.
