With the clear tray-based braces\nmade from smart-grade plastic, there is no more need to miss out on life\u2019s\nimportant events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On first hearing about Invisalign, the initial question that\nmost people often ask is \u2013 how does Invisalign actually work? So, we thought of answering a few\nquestions on what Invisalign is, how it works and what the need-to-know facts\nare when considering Invisalign to straighten teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What to know about Invisalign<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike traditional braces that use a single metal device that\nremains attached to teeth for the entire duration of the treatment plan, an\nInvisalign treatment plan consists of a number of clear plastic aligners that\ngradually push teeth to the desired position. It is the job of each aligner in\nthe set to move teeth in incremental movements closer together to achieve the\nwanted result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The medical-grade plastic material contains intuitive\ntechnologies that work unseen to close gaps and straighten teeth alignment.\nResults are achieved relatively more quickly than alternative treatment plans\nand our patients report that the aligners are more comfortable to wear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to be considered for Invisalign treatment, you would\nneed to be assessed by our experienced Invisalign provider. Our dental\nprofessional will need to evaluate the complexity of your orthodontic situation\nbefore deciding on the number of Invisalign trays needed to produce results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Invisalign is a preferred orthodontic treatment option for\nnumerous reasons. Patients who do qualify for Invisalign can look forward to a\nrange of sought-after benefits. The first of these benefits is that the\naligners are removable. This feature allows for easier oral hygiene maintenance\nand the removal of food restrictions. Patients are allowed to remove the\naligner trays before eating and drinking and when cleaning their mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With traditional orthodontic devices, patients need to avoid\ncertain foods that could potentially damage the metal components. The\nintricacies of the metal components also make brushing and flossing a\nchallenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maintaining strict oral hygiene is essential for anyone on an\northodontic treatment plan and so there is no getting away from brushing and\nflossing, no matter how challenging it is with traditional orthodontic devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Food restrictions do not present a challenge as such, but it\ncan mean missing out on favourite foods and treats during the orthodontic\nprocess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To ensure a completely successful orthodontic process with Invisalign, it is mandatory to follow all instructions given by us when receiving the aligners, from how to keep the trays clean to the number of hours they need to be sitting on teeth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Is it time to address your orthodontic issues for a straighter, more pleasing smile? At <strong>Aura Dental<\/strong>, our experienced Invisalign practitioner can create a custom-made treatment plan just for you.
