Who Can Receive Invisalign Treatment?
Invisalign will be suitable for older teens and adults who prefer to have a discreet form of braces as compared to the traditional metal braces.
It will also suit those who consume candy and junk food as the static nature of the metal braces may cause food particles to be stuck on your tooth and thus damaging the braces.
With Invisalign, you will experience a painless journey to a more radiant and beautiful smile.
Invisalign vs Braces
Wondering whether Invisalign or traditional braces are the better fit for you? Here's a quick comparison:
| Invisalign | Traditional Braces |
|---|---|
| Clear, virtually invisible | Visible metal brackets and wires |
| Removable for eating, brushing, and flossing | Fixed in place, not removable |
| Best suited for mild to moderate misalignment | Suitable for mild to severe misalignment |
| Minimal diet restrictions | Sticky and hard foods should be avoided |
| Easier to keep teeth clean | Requires more care around brackets and wires |
Your dentist can advise which option is best suited to your case during your assessment.
What to Expect for Your Invisalign Treatment?
Pre-Invisalign Assessment
Before we proceed with the Invisalign treatment, our dentists at AllSmiles Dental will carry out a pre-treatment assessment for you. This will involve finding out whether you are suitable for this treatment.
Invisalign Treatment
Once the pre-treatment assessment is completed, you will be provided with your first set of Invisalign along with tiny tooth-colour nodes to be attached to some of your teeth to assist your aligners in their movement.Â
Aftercare
Once the entire treatment has been completed, the tooth-coloured nodes that were previously placed on your teeth will be removed. Your teeth and gums will be thoroughly cleaned as well.
