Straighten Your Smile Discretely With Clear Aligners.
Aligners are the modern alternative to bulky metal braces. They use a series of custom made clear aligners, that need to be worn day and night in order to slowly and safely shift the teeth into their new position. In South Brisbane it is a popular choice because it allows patients to straighten their teeth effectively without impacting their lifestyle and is suitable for all age groups, young or old.
Furthermore, thanks to modern imaging technology, it also allows Brisbane patients to see how their teeth will look before they’ve even started treatment. With the 3D treatment plan that digitally maps your whole journey, you get a smile preview that gives you the confidence to begin aligners, giving you an indication of how long your treatment will take and what the end result will be.
Will it work for me?
Aligners are able to treat overcrowded, misaligned or widely spaced teeth, as well as overbites, crossbites and underbites. That said, aligners may not be the best orthodontic system if your case is complex. In this case, we may recommend that wearing traditional braces is the best option for you. To find out whether this is the right choice for you, book a consultation. Check out our Smile Gallery
What are the benefits?
Aside from straightening your teeth almost invisibly with little impact on your lifestyle, aligner wearers can also:
- eat all their favourite foods, as the aligners are removed for eating and drinking
- easily maintain good oral health by removing the aligners to brush and floss
- keep their smile looking great while wearing braces thanks to the invisible aligners
In addition, aligners are less painful than traditional braces that use sharp wires and brackets. It’s a comfortable brace system as the aligners are made from SmartTrack material that’s trimmed to your exact gum line for a better fit.
What does procedure involve?
- The consultation
Wo offer consultations to discuss your options and try to understand your smile goals. There may be alternatives to clear aligners that would be more suitable - 3D scanning and photography
Part of the process involves taking a detailed 3D scan of your teeth and a series of photos. These are sent to the Invisalign laboratories, where they’re computerised and with our input, we work out a treatment plan. The length of time varies depending on how complex and extensive the movements are. Once we are happy, we can show you the treatment simulation and make any modifications before approving it for production - Delivery of custom aligners
If you’re happy with the 3D images, your aligners will then be custom-made and sent back to us, ready for you to begin wearing. In many cases there is the need to use small attachments which are white fillings bonded to your teeth to ensure better control and more efficient movement of your teeth. These are then removed at completion of treatment. To learn more about aligners in South Brisbane, contact our dental clinic today to schedule a consultation with our experienced team. We love creating beautiful smiles and look forward to welcoming you.
