What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a revolutionary orthodontic treatment that uses clear, removable aligners to straighten your teeth. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign is nearly invisible, making it an attractive option for those who want to subtly improve their smile.
The treatment involves a series of custom-made aligners that gradually shift your teeth into the desired position. Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks before moving on to the next set.
Invisalign aligners can be easily removed for eating, brushing, and flossing, and thus offer greater convenience and comfort compared to traditional braces. This innovative system is suitable for treating a wide range of orthodontic issues, from minor adjustments to more complex cases.
How to Determine a Simple vs. Complex Case for Invisalign
A simple case typically involves minor tooth movement and usually requires 16 or fewer sets of aligners for both the upper and lower teeth. These cases may include slight crowding, small gaps, or mild bite issues.
Complex cases involve more significant alignment challenges—such as severe crowding, bite correction, or rotation of teeth—and typically require more than 16 sets of trays for each arch.
The team at Southgate Dental Centre will evaluate your smile to determine the level of treatment needed and develop a personalized plan accordingly.
