Invisalign Treatment

Living with misaligned teeth may cause embarrassment and it can take a toll on confidence and self-esteem. Many patients do not like the idea of wearing traditional braces, and thus avoid having their teeth straightened. Invisalign treatment is a great solution for patients interested in aligning their teeth discreetly.

The aligners are custom-fitted and virtually invisible, so no one can tell when patients are straightening their teeth. While they need to be worn at least 22 hours per day, the aligners are removed for eating, brushing and flossing.

How Do We Know If It's a Good Fit?

Invisalign works well for most patients; our dentists can determine whether it is an appropriate treatment on an individual basis after an exam and x-rays. Aligning teeth is about more than just improving the way a smile looks; it also benefits oral health, as teeth will be easier to brush and floss. With 3-D technology, we will even be able to show patients of our Darwin dental clinic what their newly aligned smiles will look like before starting treatment.

Many patients enjoy the discretion Invisalign treatment provides. Teen and adult patients often find the nearly invisible aligners particularly attractive. Additionally, Invisalign treatment provides patients with the convenience of removability. Aligners can be easily removed for your oral hygiene routine and when you eat and drink. This means you don’t need to change your diet while you’re straightening your teeth. 

Traditional Braces

Though Invisalign and other clear aligner treatments have experienced a boom in popularity in recent years, traditional braces still offer the best orthodontic treatment to many of our patients. For patients with severely misaligned bites, traditional braces often provide better results to patients in the long run.
