A confident smile can change the way you feel about yourself and how others perceive you. However, many people hesitate to smile freely because of misaligned or crooked teeth. Traditional braces have long been the go-to solution for straightening teeth, but their noticeable metal wires and brackets can be a major drawback for adults and teenagers alike. Fortunately, Invisalign treatment offers a discreet and effective alternative to braces, helping patients achieve a straighter smile without compromising comfort or aesthetics.
At Westbrook Family Dental, we proudly offer advanced Invisalign clear aligners as part of our commitment to high-quality orthodontic care. If you're considering orthodontic treatment but are hesitant about traditional braces, Invisalign may be the perfect solution for you.
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment that uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually shift your teeth into their correct positions. Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible, allowing you to straighten your teeth without drawing attention to your treatment.
Each aligner is custom-made using advanced 3D imaging technology to ensure a perfect fit for your unique dental structure. The aligners are worn for 20 to 22 hours a day and are changed approximately every two weeks as your teeth move into alignment.
How Does Invisalign Work?
The Invisalign process begins with a consultation at Westbrook Family Dental, where our experienced dental team will assess your smile and determine if Invisalign is the right option for you. If you’re a suitable candidate, we will take digital impressions of your teeth to create a personalized treatment plan.
Using state-of-the-art technology, we’ll map out the step-by-step movement of your teeth and show you a digital preview of your new smile. Once your custom aligners are ready, you'll start wearing them according to your treatment plan. Over time, the aligners gently and gradually shift your teeth into place.
Benefits of Invisalign Treatment
Invisalign offers numerous benefits over traditional orthodontic methods, including:
1. Discreet Appearance
One of the main reasons people choose Invisalign is its near-invisibility. The clear aligners are virtually undetectable when worn, making them an ideal choice for adults and teens who want to maintain a natural appearance during treatment.
2. Removable for Eating and Cleaning
Unlike braces, Invisalign aligners can be easily removed for meals and daily oral hygiene routines. This means you can eat all your favourite foods without restrictions and maintain better oral health throughout the treatment.
3. Comfortable to Wear
The aligners are made from smooth plastic, which reduces the chances of irritation to your cheeks and gums. There are no metal wires or brackets, so adjustments are typically more comfortable compared to traditional braces.
4. Faster Results for Some Patients
In many cases, Invisalign treatment can be completed faster than traditional braces, with an average treatment time of 12 to 18 months, depending on the complexity of your case.
5. Predictable Outcomes
Thanks to advanced digital planning, you can see a preview of your results before starting treatment. This gives you a clear idea of what to expect, making the process more transparent and motivating.
Who Can Benefit from Invisalign?
Invisalign is a versatile solution for a variety of dental issues, including:
Crooked or misaligned teeth
Overbite or underbite
Gaps between teeth
Crowded teeth
While Invisalign is suitable for many teens and adults, severe orthodontic issues may still require traditional braces. During your consultation, our dental team will help you determine the most effective treatment option for your needs.
