What is Invisalign? (Invisible, clear braces)
Everything you need to know about Invisalign's clear, nearly invisible braces can be found here. Our Surrey Invisalign teeth straightening is the modern-day invisible alternative to braces. Invisalign braces are comprised of a series of clear, removable, plastic aligners, custom-made for your teeth with advanced 3-D computerized technology. It's the best way to straighten out your teeth without having to live with the metal mouth look of traditional braces. The Invisalign teeth straightening process is also very comfortable: no wires and brackets that could irritate your mouth.
How Does Our Surrey Invisalign Teeth Straightening Process Work?
First, your dentist talks to you about your goals and examines your teeth to ensure they will benefit from the Invisalign system. Then he/she writes a detailed treatment plan and orders a full set of customized aligners for you.
Each pair of Invisalign aligners is worn for a two-week period, allowing your teeth to gradually evolve into a smile that shows off the real you. Treatment length varies, depending on your dental condition and the severity of your case. Often, a full program of treatment takes less than one year.
Invisalign is also more convenient than traditional braces. They are easily removable. You choose when you wear them. You're free to take them out whenever you need to. Eating, drinking, you name it. Even if you just need a break from wearing your aligners during a high school reunion or special work event. But remember, it's essential that you wear your aligners as prescribed by your dentist in order to achieve your treatment goals.
Invisalign for Teens like Justin Bieber makes Braces
As if Justin Bieber wasn’t cute enough, now his smile is going to look perfect with the help of his Invisalign for Teens program.
Invisalign Teen uses the same Invisalign technology as adult aligners, with clear, invisible braces for no more embarrassing, “metal-mouth” moments. Invisalign for Teens is a popular choice for heartthrobs like Justin Bieber and Isaac Hanson before him – with features specifically designed for the needs of teens.
Just ask the pop singer; he doesn’t seem too shy about sharing! Bieber popped out the invisible Invisalign braces for all his fans to see on YouTube.
Invisalign Teen
Invisalign for Teens uses the same Invisalign technology as adult aligners with features specifically designed for the needs of teens. For example, Invisalign for Teens is designed to compensate for the growth of new teeth and wear-indicators change from blue to transparent to help teens measure wear time.
Invisalign Pain
Invisalign pain is different from case to case depending on the severity of tooth movement a patient needs. If your Invisalign braces are causing you discomfort, try these remedies:
- Change your aligner sets at night
- Take over-the-counter pain relief medicines
- Look at pictures of people with beautiful teeth, like Justin Bieber, to remind you of your ultimate goal by wearing Invisalign braces
