Every industry has seen innovation over the past few years – some as a result of technology, while others have been developed and have grown in light of our changing attitudes and approaches to things.
Dentistry is one such industry which has benefitted from both, embracing technology and changing consumer demands in order to develop and finetune its treatments and approaches. And when occlusion in particular is involved, it seems as if client expectations are more demanding than ever, with clients coming to us seeking fast results with minimal intervention.
Invisalign is a treatment that’s been born from this innovation. It tackles malocclusion head-on, in a way that gives clients more control over how they benefit from and use the treatment. Not to mention, when followed correctly, it always delivers an award-winning smile at the end.
Here are some of the things you may not know about Invisalign in Essex, and how it uses innovative dentistry in the best possible way.
1. Providing clients with flexible alignment treatment
One of the selling points of Invisalign is the flexible arrangement between the client and their dentist. Invisalign is designed to be a more intuitive treatment plan which creates a series of aligners that are changed periodically in line with the movement of the teeth.
Clients start with one aligner and gradually progress through the set until they complete the treatment, leaving them with the straighter smile they wanted. What’s more, Invisalign aligners can be removed as required – making oral hygiene, eating and other regular habits easy to maintain.
2. 3D mapping combines technology with client expectations
A distinct benefit that comes from the development of Invisalign technology, is the 3D mapping which is offered to all Invisalign clients in the early stages of their treatment process. Combined with a consultation, this mapping allows them to see how their teeth and their smile could look following comprehensive and effective Invisalign treatment.
This is a good motivator for clients and also doubles as an expectation management technique for both sides, so clients can see how the treatment could impact their teeth before committing.
3. Aligners are comfortable and easy to wear
Finally, while fixed braces and traditional occlusion systems are often uncomfortable to wear, Invisalign is incredibly easy to fit and discreet – not to mention comfortable while in place.
This is thanks to the innovative plastic which is used to form and create each aligner, and the unrivalled programme which means that your dentist will never allow your teeth to settle into a fixed position – instead keeping them moving and shifting until they reach the desired alignment stage.
With so many benefits linked with Invisalign, it’s no wonder that it has become one of the most requested treatments that we offer here at Sharrow Dental. For more information, get in touch with us directly.
