Invisalign in Brisbane

Invisalign aligners

Are you having some trouble with your misaligned or crowded teeth? Well, you’d better receive orthodontic treatment to improve both your oral health and your smile. Orthodontic issues will not only cause dental problems, such as tooth decay and gum disease, for you and impact your dental health but can also affect your smile and make you want to cover your mouth.

Well, cosmetic dentistry has the solution! No, don’t worry! We’re not talking about metal braces! We know how most patients feel about these traditional braces.

If you have orthodontic problems but are unwilling to wear traditional braces because of their social stigma, you may want to give Invisalign a shot!

Invisalign is used to fix misalignment in your mouth and offer you a straighter smile. They are called Invisalign since these plastic aligners are practically invisible and hardly noticeable, unlike the old visible braces.

Invisalign aligners are custom-made, clear aligners and are considered a more comfortable alternative to traditional metal braces since they are both invisible and removable.

So, there you go, our dentists in Brisbane can offer you straighter teeth with Invisalign treatment.

Invisalign treatment in Brisbane

Invisalign treatment uses digital imaging technology to make these clear plastic aligners as meticulous as possible. Our dentists in Brisbane will take a precise impression of your mouth using 3-D computer imaging technology to ensure your aligners fit your teeth and do not cause you any inconvenience.

 That’s how Invisalign works to straighten teeth and give you an attractive smile

Invisalign works by shifting one tooth at a time and then turning to the next tooth to move it to the right position. The number of aligners depends on the severity of the malocclusion. The number of aligners can range anything between seven aligners to forty or more. You may need to book an appointment with your dentist every two weeks to receive new Invisalign trays.

Your aligner will move your teeth slowly to the desired positions over the course of some months (12 to 18 months on average) and will make your teeth straightened. Your dentist in Brisbane may ask you to wear your custom-made invisible aligner between 20 and 22 hours a day to make the treatment plan work efficiently.

Not all orthodontic issues can be fixed with Invisalign!

While straightening teeth with Invisalign has many advantages, it has its limits. Invisalign will not be able to solve more complex orthodontic issues like:

• filling large gaps between your teeth
• unusual tooth shape (too short or pegged)
• raising or lowering your tooth’ position
• dramatic tooth rotation to make it straight

These are the problems that Invisalign will be able to fix:

1. Crooked teeth
2. Crowded teeth
3. Overbite
4. Underbite
5. Open Bite
6. Crossbite

Well, the answer is a conditional yes! You can only take these removable aligners off if you are disciplined enough to put them on again when you’re done with your job! (Eating, drinking, flossing, or brushing)

While traditional braces are fixed orthodontic devices and cannot be removed until your treatment is finished, Invisalign braces are removable and can be removed according to the patients’ needs. You can remove your Invisalign while you want to eat, floss, or brush your teeth.

Invisalign aligners are one of the effective treatment options for fixing orthodontic problems in the mouth. Still, they need to be worn for the exact recommended time by your dentist to work. Therefore, you need to be consistent and disciplined in wearing your custom-made aligner to achieve an attractive smile.

The treatment time with Invisalign treatment varies according to each individual’s needs, age, how disciplined a person is to wear their Invisalign, and the type of orthodontic issues being addressed. Roughly speaking, this teeth straightening method may take around 12 to 18 months to fix the patient’s teeth and jaw.

While a patient may start to see straighter teeth in almost six months, the treatment may take around two years for other patients. Furthermore, the treatment with Invisalign may take longer for adults compared to children.

According to your dentist’s recommendation, please bear in mind that Invisalign can only straighten your teeth and give you a more attractive smile if you wear your removable aligners.

Brisbane teeth straightening option for adults and children

Yes! Our Brisbane dentists can straighten teeth for both you and your children using Invisalign. As long as children wear their Invisalign aligners for the recommended amount of time, the treatment can also be effective.

Make sure your child puts on their Invisalign every time they remove it to eat something or to brush and floss their teeth.

Types of Invisalign

1. Invisalign Express (7 aligners per arch, very minor crowding)
2. Invisalign Lite (14 aligners per arch, minor crowding or spacing )
3. Invisalign Moderate Package (26 aligners per arch, moderate to severe crowding)
4. Invisalign Comprehensive Package (as many as the patient need, comprehensive orthodontic treatments)

The cost and time of dental treatments will not be the same for everyone because people are different and their needs. This will affect Invisalign treatment costs. Some people may need more appointments with their dentist or require more aligners, but roughly speaking, Invisalign prices start from $4000 to $7000 in Brisbane.
