Invisalign® Clear Aligners in Maryborough
Thinking about straightening your teeth but aren’t keen on traditional braces? If yes, Invisalign may be worth considering. The clear aligners are designed to fit closely over your teeth and gradually move them towards their planned positions. At Maryborough Dental, we’ll take a close look at your smile, talk through what you’d like to change and let you know whether clear aligner treatment may be suitable for you.
A Clear Alternative to Traditional Braces
Invisalign aligners are made from smooth, medical-grade plastic and designed to fit closely over your teeth. Each set is worn for a specified period before moving to the next in your series, gradually shifting your teeth according to your treatment plan.
Because the aligners are removable, you can take them out for eating, drinking, brushing and flossing. Their clear design also makes them a less noticeable option than traditional metal braces.
When Invisalign May Be Considered
This clear aligner treatment may be considered for a range of alignment concerns, although suitability depends on an individual assessment. Concerns our dentists may assess include:
- Gapped teeth
- Overbite
- Underbite
- Open bite
- Crossbite
- Overly crowded teeth
If your concern isn’t listed here, get in touch and we can discuss whether clear aligner treatment may be an option for you.
A Plan Built Around Your Teeth
Your first visit involves an examination along with X-rays, photographs and digital scans. This information helps your dentist develop a treatment plan based on your teeth and what you’re hoping to change. It may also be used to create a projected image of the planned tooth movements, giving you a better idea of what the process may involve.
If you decide to proceed, your custom aligners are made and you’ll return for regular appointments so your dentist can monitor how your teeth are progressing.
Start the Conversation About Your Smile
Every case is different, so the best way to find out whether Invisalign may suit you is to speak with one of our dentists.
