Your smile is one of the most noticeable features of your face. It’s not to flash a genuine smile at someone if you’re conscious about your teeth. Having a crooked smile might be the only thing stopping you from being your most confident self.
If you want to address this concern and achieve the smile you have always wanted, then dentist North Wales has the solution – Invisalign.
What is Invisalign and what does it do?
Some people have refrained from getting braces because they fear the pain, discomfort, and the way they look. Thankfully, Invisalign is a better way to straighten teeth.
Invisalign involves using bespokely designed, clear and removable aligners that gently move your teeth into the desired position.
The Treatment
One great feature of the Invisalign treatment, is the advanced digital scanner which shortens the impression-taking of your teeth to just a few minutes using the lastest technology. Instead of the traditional moulds which would be inserted into your mouth, Invisalign uses a 3D scanner to collect the information on your teeth.
You won’t have to go through the uneasy and rather messy process of biting on putty. This is definitely going to be gag free!
On Your Way To Straight Teeth
Once the shape of your teeth has been documented, your dentist will be able to figure out where your teeth need to go. After a short wait, you’ll be presented with a 3D image of what your teeth will look like once you have completed the process – if you do it properly.
What You’ll Have To Do
You’ll receive a set of different aligners which you’ll go through as the treatment progresses. Depending on what you’ve been recommended by your dentist, each aligner you receive should be worn for around 10 to 14 days before placing it with the next one.
Make sure that you don’t rush the process. As you switch aligners, moving on to the next stage, your teeth will continue to move until they reach your desired outcome.
