WHAT IS INVISALIGN?If you dream of a straighter smile but don’t want to go

through traditional orthodontic treatment, Invisalign may be

the option for you.

Invisalign clear aligners are the braces of the future – they

straighten your teeth without the wires of traditional braces.

With Invisalign being virtually Invisible, it is often a top choice of

treatment for teens and adults wishing to straighten their teeth.

The Invisalign treatment includes a series of custom-made

clear aligners made for you and your unique smile. These are

clear plastic trays which apply gentle pressure to slowly move

your teeth. During your treatment, you will wear each set of

aligners for about two weeks before you switch to the next set.

This process will gradually shift your teeth a little closer each

time to the position that your dentist has planned.

Invisalign with DentaGlowHOW DOES THE INVISALIGN SYSTEM WORK?

STEP 1

Firstly, your Invisalign-trained dentist will

take photos, X-rays, and digital scans or a

digital impression to help create your new

treatment plan.

STEP 2

The Invisalign laboratory will then use these

records along with the treatment prescribed

by your dentist to create a personalised 3D

treatment plan – just for you! You will be

able to see the final position expected of

your teeth alignment and estimate the likely

length of your treatment

STEP 3

Your brand new custom aligners will be

shipped to DentaGlow

STEP 4

Your first series of aligners are given to you

– typically 3-4 sets at a time. You will wear

these every day and change them at home

every two weeks.

STEP 5

You will need to visit your dentist

approximately every 6-8 weeks. At these

times, your treatment progress will be

monitored, and you will receive your next

series of aligners.

STEP 6

After you have completed your Invisalign

aligner treatment, you should wear a retainer

to assist in maintaining the position of your

new alignment.

Will the Invisalign treatment hurt?

Most patients may feel pressure in the early stage when starting with the first few Invisalign aligners. However, Invisalign is known to generate less pain than traditional braces.

Can I eat with my aligners in?

The Invisalign aligners are extremely easy to put in place and remove. Meaning you can eat the same foods as before treatment – unlike traditional braces.

Will Invisalign affect my speech?

Like all orthodontic appliances, it can be difficult to get used to the appliance. Once you are used to the aligners, your speech should not be affected.

Can I drink coffee, tea or other staining beverages?

Your aligners can easily be taken out; this eases the process of maintaining the correct oral hygiene after drinking beverages that could stain your teeth.

Invisalign with DentaGlowWHAT ARE THE BIGGEST ADVANTAGES OF INVISALIGN TREATMENT

Invisalign treatment is virtually invisible meaning patients can wear this treatment all day.

Maintain good oral health as you can remove your aligners to brush, floss and rinse the same way you usually would.

Event coming up? No problem, simply remove your aligners for the event and back in when the event is over.

You don’t have to worry about Invisalign interfering with your active lifestyle as it is more comfortable than traditional braces.

Usually, patients see their orthodontist less with Invisalign over traditional braces, meaning this treatment is great for patients with busy lives.

To achieve the best results, the perfect candidate for Invisalign treatment shouldn’t have large malocclusions or teeth that are rounded, rotated

or need vertical movement. If your dentist or orthodontist has mentioned these apply to you, you many need alternative brace options.

The below images show perfect candidates for Invisalign treatment.

OVERBITE

This occurs when the upper teeth

bite over the lower teeth.

UNDERBITEThe opposite of overbite,

underbite occurs when the

lower teeth protrude past the

upper front teeth.

OVERCROWDED TEETH

This occurs when there is a lack

of room within your jaw for all of

your teeth to fit normally.

WIDELY SPACED TEETH

Widely spaced teeth The

opposite of overcrowded teeth,

widely spaced teeth occur when

you have extra space within

your jaw due to small-sized

teeth, abnormal growth of the

jawbones, genetics, missing

teeth, and/or tongue protrusion.

CROSSBITE

This occurs when the upper and

lower jaws are misaligned.
