Invisalign could be the answer
One of the most popular types of braces here at The Dental Retreat is Invisalign Macleod. Invisalign Macleod is a clear aligner system. This means that it makes use of clear thermoplastic aligners.
It is a highly popular teeth straightening method across the world. Since it was introduced in 1999, Invisalign Macleod has helped straighten more than 14 million smiles and remains a popular choice with patients of all ages. Invisalign is suitable for teenagers and it is also suitable for adults with no upper age limit. It has been proven to be successful in treating a range of orthodontic issues including protruding front teeth, crooked, wonky teeth, overcrowding and misalignment as well as small gaps between the teeth.
Patients can use Invisalign to address bite disorders as well. You need to speak to our dentist at The Dental Retreat and book a consultation. We will carry out a three-dimensional intraoral scan that will allow us to see your teeth on the computer screen. The Invisalign software can show you how your teeth will look after successful treatment with the aligners.
If you are happy with the possible results then our dentist will design a series of aligners that will move your teeth in small increments of 0.25 mm until we have created a beautiful straight smile. The number of aligners that you need will vary depending on your individual dental needs. Each aligner has to be worn for about two weeks at a time. During this time it is important that you keep them in your mouth for approximately 22 hours of the day. If you follow the guidelines then by the end of the treatment you should have a brand-new smile. On average this takes between 6 months and 18 months depending on how crooked your teeth are to begin with. The aligners themselves are comfortable and convenient and are designed to enable better dental health. You can take them out of your mouth when you need to and this allows you to enjoy all your favourite food and drink while undergoing teeth straightening. It also means that you can clean your teeth properly before you replace the aligners in your mouth.
Once finished you will have a beautiful smile makeover, this will help boost your self- confidence and your self-esteem, it will encourage you to smile happily and show off your teeth to the rest of the world.
