Invisalign has quickly become one of our most requested treatments, bridging traditional orthodontics with modern technology to create a solution which blends easily into patients’ daily routines while gradually fixing their smile.
Designed for those who are struggling with misaligned teeth and issues of malocclusion, Invisalign uses a series of clear aligners to push the teeth into a straighter and more uniform layout. Not only are the aligners clear and therefore easy to wear as part of an everyday look, but they can be removed when required and are carefully designed to be comfortable and smooth on the teeth.
Of course, with aligners that are worn every day and can be removed, care and maintenance is crucial. Which is why our Essex-based dentists have created this guide to Invisalign retainer care.
The Importance of Dental Hygiene and Regular Cleaning
One of the most important factors in caring for your Invisalign retainers, and your teeth, is a thorough approach to dental hygiene. Being able to remove the aligner means it’s easy to clean, with dentists recommending you remove the aligner when eating as well to ensure that food doesn’t get stuck between the teeth and the plastic tray.
Remove the retainer for brushing at least twice a day, paying attention to your teeth and to the plastic retainer.
Can Anyone Access Invisalign?
Invisalign combines the effectiveness of traditional orthodontics with modern innovation, enabling patients to access an aligning solution which is virtually invisible when worn. This makes Invisalign both a more attractive and a more appealing option, especially for adults, while the versatility of the aligners, which can be removed, means that dental hygiene is easy to manage.
A paid treatment, we do advise that patients get in touch directly to understand the fees and costs of treatment before confirming their package.
Understanding the Invisalign Process and What Steps to Take Now
If you’re looking to boost your smile and invest in your confidence, then Invisalign retainers Essex patients recommend are an excellent place to start. With clear aligners carefully engineered to help shape the teeth, while blending into your smile with effortless innovation and advanced design, Invisalign is easy to factor into your life and routine.
The process starts with an early consultation, during which your dentist will understand your alignment goals and use mapping technology to visualise exactly how your teeth could look on completion of treatment. A mould is then taken of your teeth and used to shape the aligners that you will cycle through as part of the process, switching to a new aligner every few weeks to keep up with the gradual movement of the teeth.
Results will start to show quickly as the teeth move and will improve in placement and alignment throughout the course of the variable treatment plan.
Your dentist will be able to talk through the exact timeline for your Invisalign treatment, pinpointing the number of aligners needed and how long the process will take.
