Invisalign
At Glebe Point Dental, we’re committed to providing our patients with the most advanced and effective orthodontic solutions. Our Invisalign procedure offers a superior approach to straightening teeth, combining comfort, convenience and discretion with outstanding results.
What is Invisalign, and how does it work?
Invisalign is a revolutionary orthodontic system that uses a series of custom-made, clear aligners to gradually move teeth into the desired position. Due to their subtle appearance, they are sometimes called invisible braces. It is a comfortable and aesthetic alternative to traditional braces. Unlike traditional braces, these aligners are virtually invisible and can be removed for eating, brushing and flossing.
The aligners are transparent and custom-made during the Invisalign procedure to snugly fit each individual's teeth. The treatment begins with a consultation at Glebe Point Dental, where our orthodontists utilise cutting-edge imaging technology to create a precise 3D model of your teeth. This model is used to develop a personalised treatment plan that addresses your specific dental needs.
Reasons to see a dentist for Invisalign
We can provide clear aligners to adolescents and adults of any age who want to change the appearance of their smile.
Some common reasons to seek out clear aligner treatment include.
-
Misaligned teeth (crowding)
-
Gaps in between teeth
-
Previous orthodontic treatment with teeth having moved since
-
Correcting a sub-optimal bite
-
Aligning teeth before extensive cosmetic treatment
The Invisalign procedure’s treatment time can vary from 4 months for a simple case to up to 18 months for a complex case. The aligners must be worn full-time, only being removed to eat and drink.
