Transform your smile with Invisalign
Invisalign Macleod is one of the most popular teeth-straightening procedures across the world, chosen by patients of all ages for a range of orthodontic needs. If you have crooked or wonky teeth and you would like to improve the appearance of your smile then you need to speak to our dentist at The Dental Retreat and find out about the treatment options that are available for you. Invisalign Macleod is suitable for most, although ideal for patients with mild or moderate orthodontic needs. This includes crooked, uneven teeth, overlapping teeth, overcrowded teeth, protruding teeth and certain bite disorders. Our dentist will carry out a thorough examination of your mouth to be able to assess your orthodontic needs and decide if Invisalign Macleod is a suitable option for you. If not then they will put together an individually tailored treatment plan or a combined treatment plan which begins with a different type of braces or other dental treatment and continues with Invisalign. This helps achieve the best possible results in the shortest possible period of time.
Invisalign as an alternative to traditional braces
Orthodontic braces use brackets and wires to apply pressure to the jaw and teeth and push them into a neater formation whilst Invisalign uses clear thermoplastic aligners to push the teeth into a neater formation. This is a more comfortable and gentle method of teeth straightening and therefore better suited for less complicated orthodontic issues. The aligners are almost invisible when worn in the mouth, which is why they are one of the most popular options worldwide. Invisalign is an excellent choice for patients who have avoided traditional orthodontic treatment, because they are already conscious of the appearance of their smile. With Invisalign you can straighten your teeth without anyone noticing that you are undergoing orthodontic treatment and enjoy the oral health benefits as well as improving the appearance of your smile. Most people use Invisalign for cosmetic purposes, but it is also a great way of reducing your chances of developing tooth decay and gum disease.
How does Invisalign work?
Speak to us at The Dental Retreat today and find out how Invisalign could benefit you. It can be used for teenagers who need to straighten their teeth, but do not want to draw unwanted attention to their mouth. It can be used in patients who have undergone orthodontic treatment when they were younger and over the years the teeth have shifted. In this case Invisalign can be used to perfect your smile once more. It can also be used in patients who have never undergone orthodontic treatment, but are looking to transform the appearance of their teeth. Let our dentist here at the practice put together the best treatment plan for you. We will carry out a three-dimensional scan of your mouth which will create a digital image on the screen to show you how your teeth can be changed using Invisalign. If you are happy with the ‘before’ and ‘after’ transformation then we will design a series of the aligners that will help you achieve this change. This will take between 6 and 12 months depending on how misaligned your teeth are to begin with and soon you should have a brand-new, neatly aligned smile to show off proudly to the world.
All treatment carries risks. Individual consultation is required with one of our practitioners to ensure that the treatment is right for you.
