Invisalign clear aligners in Murrayville, BC: The effectiveness of braces, without the discomfort and hassles

Dr. Harpreet Aulakh and the team at Smile365 Dental enjoy treating patients of all ages, from the young to the young at heart. Advanced orthodontic options are a welcome alternative to traditional braces for patients across a broad spectrum of ages, from teens to seniors. Invisalign clear aligners at the Langley City office near Murrayville, BC, are a great option for image-conscious teens and busy professionals alike due to the following features:

• They’re discreet and made from transparent, BPA-free plastic.
• They can be removed for meals, brushing, and flossing.
• The plastic is smooth and comfortable, so it doesn’t irritate your mouth.
• Treatment is high-tech, using specialized software that renders a three-dimensional model of your mouth.

·         Treatment is easy; each aligner slips over your teeth like a dental retainer. Every two weeks or so, you discard the aligner and replace it with the next one in your treatment plan.

·         Aligners have proven to be effective based on the same principles of low forces as traditional orthodontic systems like braces to gently reposition teeth.

·         They’re easy to care for, with rinsing to keep aligners stain-free and by properly storing the trays when they’re not in your mouth.

As with other technologies, Invisalign has evolved tremendously since it was first commercialised in the early 2000s. Today’s Invisalign is engineered with options such as SmartForce attachments, which help direct just the right amount of gentle force to the aligner, and blue indicator dots, which help ensure that younger patients wear the aligners as prescribed. Generally, it is recommended that aligners be worn daily for at least 22 hours. They should only be removed for eating and cleaning. These newer features have opened up Invisalign treatment to many more patients across a wide range of ages, including individuals with a variety of bite-oriented problems.

Invisalign, eliminating everything patients hate about braces!

Braces are fixed and, as such, can only be removed by your orthodontist. They are made from an obvious-looking metal. Wires can break and poke the inside of your mouth. Since you can’t remove them, braces get in the way of proper cleaning. Your teeth and gums may become prone to decay and disease when you can’t brush and floss properly. Braces may be uncomfortable when wires and brackets are adjusted, which allows treatment to progress. The good news is you don’t have to worry about any of these drawbacks when you straighten your teeth with Invisalign clear aligner trays.
