Invisalign Treatment at Carlingford Dental

If you are looking to get your teeth straightened but are on the fence about traditional braces, Invisalign would be a great alternative for you. Invisalign treatment uses clear tray aligners that are made according to the shape of your mouth. These aligners are made by solid clear thermoplastic manufactured by Invisalign. These clear tray aligners apply pressure to your teeth so that they straighten out over time.  

Advantages of Invisalign 

Invisible 

While traditional braces are also effective at straightening out teeth, many people are put off by the fact that one would have to wear a metal accessory of sorts on their teeth. Such is the most obvious concern that Invisalign addresses: they are made to be invisible and hardly noticeable. You can flash your pearly whites without wires and brackets getting in the way.  

Removable  

Another problem traditional braces cause is inconvenience in eating and cleaning one’s teeth after. Food particles often get stuck in the wires, which is why those with braces are advised to avoid chewy or sticky food. Hard foods may also damage the wires. If you want to have more freedom in your food choices while also being able to keep your teeth clean at all times, Invisalign is a better option. The trays are removable, so you can eat anything and then later remove them to brush or floss your teeth.  

Comfortable  

Whether you use traditional braces or Invisalign, there’s going to be pressure exerted onto your teeth, and that will feel cause some discomfort. However, there’s less pressure from Invisalign trays, and less discomfort overall because your teeth would be covered instead of strapped up.   

Your Invisalign experience at Carlingford Dental  

If you live in or near Carlingford and have been searching ‘invisalign near me’, you’ve come to the right place. Here are a few of the things you might expect when receiving Invisalign treatment with us:  

Consultation  

Together, we will create a treatment plan that works best for you. First, we will take a look at your overall oral health or situation. We will focus more on the problem areas, or which of your teeth are crooked. We will factor in other oral health concerns as well; for example, if you have sensitive gums, that may affect your treatment. After that, your custom-fit Invisalign aligners will be created.  

Regular visits  

Note that Invisalign trays are replaced every one to two weeks as your teeth respond to the pressure. For that, we will schedule regular visits to keep track of your teeth’s progress and address any concerns.  

Emergency response  

As your teeth undergo this process, anything from minor aches to emergency situations can happen. That’s why we make our services available 24/7 to help you stay on track despite a few bumps on the road if there are any.
