Invisalign – South Lake Smiles

enjoy straighter smile without all the wires with invisalign

You’ve been unhappy with your smile for a long time because of your crooked teeth. You’re tired of hiding your teeth when you smile, and you want to get that perfect Hollywood smile.

Now there is a new option available to straighten your teeth without having to wear metal brackets or wires. Clear aligners are made from a transparent medical grade plastic material that fits snugly over your teeth, so no one can tell you’re wearing them. The treatment involves wearing a series of custom clear aligners. And since they don’t require brackets and wires, clear aligners are easy to take care of at home and are a great alternative to braces.

South Lake Smiles offers Invisalign, which is an effective alternative to traditional metal braces for adults and teens who want straighter teeth without the hassle of wires or brackets.

The Benefits of Invisalign

Straightening your teeth is an important dental treatment. Braces are used to straighten and align teeth for both cosmetic and oral health reasons. They are used to correct dental issues such as underbites, malocclusions, gaps between teeth, crooked teeth, etc.

Invisalign is a top provider of clear aligners using advanced technology, offering various advantages:

1.) Appearance

Invisalign is made of clear plastic, making it nearly invisible when compared to traditional techniques of teeth straightening. This is a commonly mentioned reason for using Invisalign.

2.) Comfortable

The material used to make Invisalign braces is plastic with a very smooth texture. Invisalign is one of the most comfortable methods of teeth straightening because the braces are customised and removable.

3.) Less-hassle

Many people who wear conventional braces have experienced a bracket falling off or a wire breaking, requiring an emergency visit to the dentist. You won’t have to worry about these problems with clear aligners.

4.) Digital impression

Invisalign uses modern technology to take a digital scan of your teeth. A 3D scan can give a more precise impression. Moreover, it offers the benefits of a non-invasive, painless technique with minimal discomfort.

5.) Removable

Invisalign is removable, so you can take it off during meals and special occasions if you prefer. You can also enjoy any food you like, as during your treatment there is less food since there are no brackets that are prone to breakage.

It is easy to maintain your teeth clean

Brushing teeth during orthodontic treatment has never been so easy with Invisalign. Since they are removable, all areas of your teeth or in your mouth can be reached. In this way, plaque buildup and tooth decay are prevented.

frequently asked questions about Invisalign

How does Invisalign work?

To change the position of your teeth, Invisalign employs clear aligners built from computer-generated images and impressions taken from your mouth by the dentist. While metal braces utilize fixed wires to “pull” the teeth into correct alignment, Invisalign adjusts the teeth by using a series of moulds and attachments that push your teeth into their new and correct position over a period of months.

What does Invisalign look like?

The plastic trays completely surround the top and bottom teeth. Despite the fact that the plastic is clear and thin, it will still give thickness to the teeth. They may not appear as shiny as some other brands. However, in direct sunlight or bright light, they may look a little shinier than normal teeth. This may make them easier to notice. The edge of Invisalign resembles the natural gum line more than other products.

Invisalign comprises attachments, buttons, and a power ridge. They may make Invisalign more visible, particularly if they are positioned on the front teeth or on several teeth. They can resemble the brackets of clear braces, but without the metal wire that connects them.

Is Invisalign better than braces?

The answer depends on the orthodontic case. Traditional braces can fix a wide range of problems. While clear aligners can correct minor aesthetic issues, they may not work better with complex issues.

Since every smile is unique, your treatment will begin with a consultation. During your appointment, your doctor will help you determine what Invisalign treatment can accomplish for your smile. We encourage you to discuss your treatment goals with your dentist during your appointment.

How long do you wear Invisalign?

Wear your Invisalign clear aligners no less than 20 to 22 hours per day for the optimum results, taking them out only for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing.

What dental problems can Invisalign correct?

There are a variety of orthodontic problems that can be treated with Invisalign, including moderate crowding, misaligned teeth, crooked teeth, spacing issues, and moderate bite issues, which may include overbite, underbite, crossbite, and open bite.

If you’re interested in improving your smile in an almost invisible way, then Invisalign may be the right choice for both adults and teens. Thanks to technological advancements and innovative products, we are able to fix nearly all common bite problems and teeth-straightening issues without interfering with your daily schedule.

Does Invisalign hurt?

In most situations, pain or discomfort will occur when the invisible aligners are first fitted and when the aligner trays are changed every two weeks. Most people’s discomfort is mild and will go away after a few days, but others may experience discomfort throughout treatment.

Can everyone use Invisalign?

Adults and teens who are busy can benefit from Invisalign clear aligners, but they’re not suitable for everyone. Dentists determine if Invisalign is right for you based on factors like the severity of your case, your age, and your commitment to the process.

Would you need retainers after Invisalign?

Most dentists advise everyone who has undergone orthodontic treatment, either with braces or Invisalign, to wear a retainer to prevent teeth from gradually shifting back to their original position. Since every tooth is different from person to person, your South Lake Smile dentist will determine whether you need retainers after your Invisalign treatment.

How to clean Invisalign retainer?

You can purchase the Invisalign Cleaning System online or from your doctor to clean your aligners. Also, it is recommended to brush your aligners with a toothbrush and toothpaste and to rinse them in lukewarm water. Hot water should never be used on your aligners because it will permanently damage and warp the plastic.

The cost of Invisalign

The cost of treatment will vary depending on a number of factors, including the type of treatment required and your location in Australia. Complete Invisalign treatment can be more expensive than traditional braces, ranging between $6,000 and $9,000.

During your appointment, we will discuss with you the exact cost of your Invisalign treatment.

Is Invisalign covered by dental insurance?

Invisalign can be covered by dental insurance in a similar way to traditional braces.

As dental insurance policies vary widely, it is best to discuss the benefits and percentage of coverage with a financial coordinator. Depending on the policy, Invisalign might be covered up to a certain dollar amount.

Orthodontic treatment is sometimes limited by a lifetime cap on insurance coverage.
