'Invisible' Invisalign Braces

By: Alex Cunningham

Invisalign braces are an innovative orthodontic treatment, which provide the perfect solution for people that want straighter teeth without worrying about the way they will look if they have braces fitted.

What is the Invisalign system?

The Invisalign system involves a series of clear aligners, which are designed to move the teeth gradually over the course of time. If you want to have the treatment, your dentist will create a mould of your teeth using a putty-like substance and they will also take photographs, which will then be sent away to a dental laboratory. The technicians will make up a series of aligners based on the measurements and contours of your mouth.

Each aligner should be worn for two weeks and then replaced with the next aligner in the series. The aligners are shaped to encourage the teeth to move and by the time you get to the last aligner, your teeth should look great.

How do the braces work?

The aligners work by gently moving the teeth in the right direction; you need to wear the braces for around 22 hours each day and each aligner should be worn for two weeks before you go on to the next one in the series. You will need to visit your dentist on a regular basis to make sure the aligners are working effectively.

How long does treatment take?

Everyone is different and treatment time will vary according to the complexity of your individual situation. As a general rule, treatment should take around twelve months.

Who can benefit from Invisalign braces?

Invisalign braces can be used to treat lots of different orthodontic problems, including:

• Crowded teeth
• Gaps between the teeth
• Crooked teeth
• Twisted teeth
• Poorly positioned teeth
• Problems with the bite (the relationship between the upper and lower sets of teeth)

Invisalign braces can treat many people but patients with more severe problems may be advised to choose an alternative treatment. An example of the amazing results produced by Invisalign braces is shown below:

What are the advantages of Invisalign braces?

Invisalign has many advantages; the most obvious benefit is the appearance of the braces; Invisalign braces are also known as invisible braces because they are invisible to other people. The discreet appearance of the aligners means you can get the smile you always wanted without anyone else even knowing you've got braces.

Other advantages of this treatment include increased comfort and less pain than traditional braces; the aligners generate much less friction than normal braces and the teeth are encouraged to move slowly and gently. Many people also like the fact that you can take the aligners out; this enables you to eat properly and clean your teeth thoroughly; this also helps to keep your teeth and gums healthy.

How much does the treatment cost?

Invisalign is one of the more expensive orthodontic treatments; as with all cosmetic dental treatments, prices vary considerably depending on where you choose to go for your treatment and which dentist you choose (dentists with expertise in the field and those with years of experience will charge more than those with less experience). As a general guide, the treatment usually costs betweenn £3,000 and £6,000.
