The benefits of
straighter teeth

Straight teeth, as well as looking fantastic, are also a vital part of a healthy lifestyle.

Having teeth that align correctly can be vital in preventing many health issues, such as gum disease, which can lead to tooth decay and loss. Crooked teeth can also cause problems with speaking or chewing, and excessive or unusual wear on your teeth.

The Invisalign treatment also offers the following benefits:

Invisalign

The clear path to your perfect smile.

Recent advancements in orthodontics mean everyone can benefit from straighter teeth and a better bite- no matter what your age.

Invisalign is an incredibly effective way of straightening your teeth using clear, removable aligners rather than fixed metal brackets and wires. They can be used to correct very crooked teeth, overbites, gaps, crowding and more.

At Ormeau Dental Care we’re committed to providing a safe and effective teeth straightening treatment that delivers incredible results that can last a lifetime- in only a short time!

The CEREC system is also ideal in situations where a large white filling is needed.

The Process

How Invisalign works

Before treatment begins, the Invisalign System allows us to preview your new smile.

By digitally mapping your teeth, we create a personalised treatment plan for you- including the exact movements of your teeth and how long your treatment will take.

We will then begin your treatment by creating custom-made clear aligners that fit snugly over your teeth and gently control tooth movement and rotation.

Every two weeks you will be given a new set of aligners that will continue to move your teeth- little by little- into their desired position.

In some instances it may be suitable to change your aligners every week rather than every two, and you could achieve your winning smile in as little as 3 months.

FAQs

How long will the treatment take?

The Invisalign treatment time can vary quite a bit depending on your specific situation, such as the amount of movement of teeth is needed, and your desired results.

However, on average most people get their smile they love in 6- 18 months.

Does the Invisalign treatment hurt?

When you begin wearing your new aligners it’s quite common to feel some slight discomfort for a few days- this a good sign that the aligners are doing their job!

Rest assured, any pain or pressure will go away in a few days on its own, or you can take some over-the-counter pain relievers.

Will I be able to speak and eat normally?

For the most part, yes. However, it’s likely you will have periods of adjustment where your speech may be slightly affected, especially when you first start wearing the aligners. However, as time goes by, some people find their speech becomes clearer and more defined as their teeth move into alignment!

Invisalign retainers need to be in place for 22 hours a day and should only be taken out during regular meal times. Remember to not eat or drink anything other than water while you are wearing them.
