Clear Aligner
Adults and teens with teeth that are not as straight as they’d like now have an alternative to two or more years of metal wires and brackets. These clear, removable braces – an Invisalign® Clear Aligner – provide a convenient alternative to traditional orthodontics.
With invisible aligners, a series of clear plastic trays gently nudge teeth into the ideal alignment. Treatment is quicker than traditional braces, with most treatments taking just six to eighteen months.
The Benefits of Invisalign® Clear Aligner
In addition to being nearly invisible, Invisalign® clear aligner braces are removable, making it more convenient to maintain good home oral care while undergoing treatment. Remove the aligners for eating and cleaning your teeth.
The benefits our patients enjoy most about Invisalign® clear aligner braces include:
- Invisalign® clear aligner are nearly invisible to others unless patients point them out.
- Smooth plastic aligners mean no irritation to the gums or soft tissues of the mouth.
- There are no diet restrictions because trays are removed for eating.
- Home care of teeth and gums, as well as the plastic aligners, is easy.
- Fewer orthodontic appointments since no adjustments are needed.
- Results are easy to see while treatment is underway.
At Optimum Smile Dental Clinic patients can enjoy the convenience of having their braces and dental care take place in the same setting, right here in our dental clinic at Fairfield, NSW.
Invisalign® Clear Aligner Treatment
After an evaluation determines that you are a good candidate for Invisalign® clear aligner braces, our dentists will go over all of your options so that you can decide on the type of treatment you feel good about.
X-rays, photographs, and impressions are part of the treatment planning process because they will provide us with the crucial information we need to give you the best possible outcome.
Invisalign® clear aligner braces usually work best for adults and responsible teens who have misaligned teeth or orthodontic relapse. For those who need additional correction, we offer comprehensive orthodontic treatment.
Patients also appreciate that Invisalign treatment is more comfortable than traditional braces. Since Invisalign moves teeth so gradually, there is no pain associated with each new set of aligners, unlike when conventional metal braces are adjusted.
Because compliance is essential to successful treatment, patients will need to wear clear plastic aligners for about 22 hours a day.
