Invisalign in Highgate Hill, QLD
Oddly spaced, crooked, crowded, and misaligned teeth can be difficult to keep clean, and even more challenging to feel at ease and attractive while smiling and laughing.
While it might seem to be all about vanity when people straighten their teeth, it's actually wonderful for their oral health. Teeth that are difficult to brush or floss can develop into serious dental issues like tooth decay, gum disease, worn enamel, bruxism and jaw joint pain, and tooth loss.
It would seem that orthodontic treatment is a clear win, yet many adults are hesitant about initiating orthodontic treatment.
For many with professional careers, the image of them with adolescent-like metal brackets and wires during an important client meeting is both comical and terrifying. While traditional metal braces are reliable, they are hardly subtle. Many adult patients would rather forego a straighter smile than endure months or years with a mouthful of metal. It seems that they are not alone in this.
Modern dentistry has come to a discreet and imperceptible solution: invisible braces.
What Are Invisible Braces?
At Be Well Dentistry, we proudly partner with Invisalign, a popular and well-known brand. Invisalign can address a comprehensive list of common bite misalignments like underbites, overbites, crossbites, overcrowding, gapped teeth, and more.
While metal braces require constant visits to your Highgate Hill dentist to tighten the wires, Invisalign allows us to create multiple sets of aligner trays that patients wear for two weeks before moving on to the next one. Each aligner creates small adjustments that are visible as your smile changes.
The best part is patients only need to schedule follow-up visits every six months—which saves busy patients money, time, and effort.
Invisible braces use a series of BPA-free clear plastic aligner trays to replace traditional brackets and wires. These custom-fabricated trays gently shift crooked or crowded teeth into their preferred position.
