If you are considering straightening your teeth, chances are you have come across Invisalign during your searches

If you have concerns about the alignment of your teeth, but don’t want to get braces, Invisalign might be the best option for you. Invisalign has a different process to traditional braces. As the name suggests, Invisalign is designed to be invisible. Aligner trays made of smooth, comfortable, BPA-free clear plastic are worn over your teeth to subtly and gently move your teeth. Dr Joshua Pond at All About Teeth in Townsville will use x-rays, pictures, and impressions to create a precise 3-D image of your teeth and to configure your aligner trays accordingly. Invisalign can treat the following dental issues:

1. Gaps in teeth
2. Crowded teeth
3. Overbite
4. Underbite
5. Crossbite

Benefits of Invisalign

The benefits of Invisalign go deeper than just aesthetics and include:

1. Better oral health – Invisalign aligners are removable, so it’s easier to clean your teeth and maintain your oral health during treatment.
2. Smile – most people won’t know you’re going through orthodontic treatment when you’re wearing Invisalign clear aligners because they are virtually invisible!
3. Freedom to celebrate – Got a special occasion coming up? No problem, just take your aligners out for the event and pop them back in when you’re done.
4. Keep an active lifestyle – With Invisalign clear aligners, you don’t have to worry about your treatment interfering with your active lifestyle.
5. Potentially fewer doctor visits – Invisalign treatment is ideal for your busy schedule, with doctor visits only required approximately every six to eight weeks

How long does Invisalign take?

The length of treatment depends on the severity of your case and can only be determined during a consultation with Dr Pond at All About Teeth. However, the average case takes about 12 months for adults. The length of time necessary for a teen patient may vary and can be determined by Dr Pond.

Invisalign is an almost invisible and hygienic orthodontic treatment that uses an unconventional approach to effectively straighten teeth.

Invisalign uses a series of tailor-made, removable aligners created for you and only you. These aligner trays are made of an almost invisible plastic that you wear over your teeth that will gradually move your teeth to an ideal position. Many of our potential Invisalign patients express the reason they have been reluctant to have orthodontic treatment completed is that they don’t want to wear the traditional metal braces. Most people won’t even notice you’re wearing the clear, removable trays allowing you to keep your daily routine during treatment. All About Teeth in Townsville are Invisalign providers and can help patients of all ages get the straighter smile they desire, without wearing traditional dental braces.

What are the advantages of Invisalign?

Like other teeth straightening options, Invisalign has several other specific advantages to the treatment.

1. Virtually invisible– The individual trays are a clear plastic which is almost invisible when worn on your teeth, giving a clear alternative to braces.
2. Comfortable– Invisalign has no metal brackets to irritate the inside of your mouth and gums, the trays are tailored to fit each individual patient which makes them a more comfortable fit.
3. Oral hygiene– Invisalign aligners are removable, this is ideal to maintain good oral health as it is easier to clean your teeth and trays thoroughly.
4. Can reduce orthodontist visits– Many patients have found Invisalign treatment requires fewer orthodontist visits than other types of teeth straightening treatments.
5. Visual progress movement– Invisalign treatment is designed to move your teeth in a series of stages. This allows a patient to visualise each stage of the process, from the beginning of the treatment to the end. Some patients can require additional treatment steps like a refinement to complete the treatment.

What is the length of treatment?

Treatment length will depend on your specific needs as each individual requires a different tailored treatment plan. Invisalign treatment length for teenagers may vary. The average treatment for an adult can range from 3 to 24 months. Your estimated time and therapy needed will be determined by your Townsville orthodontic specialist at your free consultation.

How often do I need to see my orthodontist for Invisalign?

Invisalign patients generally have fewer treatment appointments than traditional orthodontic patients. This is because Invisalign patients take the tailored treatment trays home with them each assessment. Our Townsville Invisalign providers only need to see a patient every 6 to 8 weeks (depending on the individual) to ensure your treatment is progressing, as it should.

What is the cost of Invisalign?

The cost of Invisalign varies depending on the complexity of your case and course of treatment. Our experienced team at All About Teeth in Townsville can help determine a more accurate cost estimate of your treatment.
