Invisalign Treatment at Elite Dental Care
Invisalign is a modern and discreet orthodontic treatment available at Elite Dental Care, designed to straighten teeth using clear, custom-made aligners.
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is an orthodontic system that uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually shift teeth into the desired position. These aligners are virtually invisible and are made from smooth, BPA-free plastic, offering a more comfortable alternative to traditional metal braces.
Benefits and Advantages
- Virtually invisible: Aligners are clear and discreet
- Removable: Easy to take out for eating and cleaning
- Comfortable: Smooth plastic design with no sharp brackets
- Convenient: Fewer dental visits compared to traditional braces
- Predictable results: Digital planning software shows results before starting
Who Is Suitable for This Treatment?
Invisalign is suitable for patients with mild to moderate orthodontic issues, including:
- Crowded or crooked teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Overbite, underbite, or crossbite
- Relapse after previous orthodontic treatment
The Procedure Explained
- Consultation: Full dental examination and digital scan of the teeth
- Treatment Plan: Customized plan created using 3D imaging software
- Aligner Series: Series of aligners created to be worn in sequence
- Wearing Aligners: Worn for 20–22 hours daily and changed every 1–2 weeks
- Check-ups: Regular appointments to monitor progress
Recovery and Aftercare
There is minimal recovery time with Invisalign. Patients may experience slight discomfort when switching to a new set of aligners, which typically subsides within a few days. To maintain results, a retainer is recommended after treatment to prevent teeth from shifting.
