Invisalign Darwin
Invisalign is an orthodontic system that uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually move teeth into new positions. Each aligner is custom-made and fits over the teeth, applying gentle pressure.
The aligners are typically worn for most of the day and can be removed for eating, brushing, and flossing. They are usually changed every one to two weeks, depending on the treatment plan. The total length of treatment varies for each individual.
Who Might Consider Invisalign?
Invisalign may be suitable for patients with mild to moderate alignment concerns who prefer a clear alternative to traditional braces. It may not be the best option for complex bite issues, in which case other orthodontic treatments could be recommended. A dentist can determine suitability following an examination, which may include x-rays and photographs.
How the Process Works
If Invisalign is considered appropriate, digital scans or impressions are taken to design the aligners. A computerised treatment plan is then created, which maps out the proposed sequence of tooth movements. Patients receive sets of aligners to change according to the prescribed schedule, with regular monitoring appointments to review progress.
