Invisalign Orthodontists Melbourne At Smile Avenue 

What is Invisalign? 

Invisalign treatment consists of a series of nearly invisible, removable aligners that you change every two weeks for the next set of aligners. Each aligner is individually manufactured for your teeth, and your teeth only. As you replace each aligner, your teeth will move - little by little, week by week - until they have straightened to the final position prescribed by your dental provider. What's more, a virtual treatment plan generated by Align Technology's unique ClinCheck® software shows the series of movements your teeth will go through over the course of the treatment.

Invisalign aligners are clear, invisible, and removable braces that work by using aligners to gently straighten out and correct your teeth. These aligners are made of thermodynamic plastic materials and are virtually invisible due to their clear nature. They are also designed to be swapped once every 2 weeks thus making sure that your teeth are corrected slowly and steadily.

Braces do not have to be large and obvious anymore. With Invisalign, you can wear your smile more confidently and undergo your treatment more conveniently. They work using the same principle as the metal braces which gradually apply controlled force directly on the teeth so that they can get into the right position.

Invisalign was first introduced in 1997 by Zia Chishti and Kelsey Wirth in San Jose California and it came as a convenient and more aesthetic alternative to metal braces. Christi, who at the time was an orthodontic patient himself who was struggling with his retainers decided to develop an orthodontic device that works by a similar principle to that of the retainer.

Advantages of Invisalign Clear Aligners

• Invisalign aligners are more aesthetically pleasing compared to conventional metal braces. They can improve your confidence significantly by helping you feel less self-conscious. Because of their clear and virtually invisible property, people may not even know that you are wearing them.
• Invisalign aligners are also less damaging to your inner cheek and mouth compared to conventional braces which have cut ends and sharp edges. These cut ends can cause injuries and lacerations in the mouth thus you reduce the risk of mouth injuries when you use Invisalign braces. No emergency orthodontic appointments are required when you use the Invisalign system, saving both doctors’ and patients’ time.
• Invisalign aligners can be removed before eating, thus reducing the risk of developing dental caries and plaque which come from food accumulation.
• Your treatment planning is totally computerized and you will know what to expect at every stage of treatment, unlike the stage-by-stage trial approach that is used with metal braces.

Disadvantages of Invisalign Clear Aligners

• Right case selection is important for successful Invisalign treatment. In some cases, Invisalign works better than other conventional braces systems, while in other complicated cases, such as surgical or extraction cases, Invisalign can take longer than conventional braces. Therefore, an experienced clinician must determine individual suitability for Invisalign treatment.
• Non-compliance or the temptation to leave your aligners out may then lead to a delay in correction or straightening of your teeth.
• You may have some difficulty speaking with Invisalign.
• Losing an aligner may incur an extra fee and delay in your treatment.
• The attachment buttons placed on the front of the Invisalign braces are sometimes visible to some extent.
