What is Invisalign exactly?
Invisalign is a system that uses clear aligners to straighten your teeth. These aligners cover your teeth completely. They have a low profile and a snug fit, so, once they are in place, they appear to be invisible.
How does Invisalign work?
When you have an Invisalign treatment, a set of aligners is made specifically for you. These are based on information gathered by your dentist at Sheen Dental and sent to Invisalign. They take you from the smile you have to the one you want in a matter of months, for some patients.
The inside of each aligner is contoured in such a way that the internal surfaces apply gentle pressure to your teeth. This nudges them in the direction you want them to go. Once one aligner has done all the shifting that it can do, you swap it for the next one in the series, according to your dentist’s instructions. This happens every 7-10 days. In between times, all you need to do is keep your aligner in for around 22 hours of every day. You take it out to eat and to clean it.
Is Invisalign for you?
Clinically speaking, only a member of the dental team can tell you if Invisalign is right for your needs. However, many adults are able to choose this option to straighten their teeth. This means that you could be able to enjoy a discreet, comfortable and effective solution if you book an appointment to discuss Invisalign at Sheen Dental.
