Invisalign®

Digitally customized clear aligner system.

Invisalign® is a treatment that replaces the traditional wire and braces systems, offering an aesthetic, barely visible solution to the following orthodontic problems:

• Straightens crowded teeth
• Corrects bites (crossbites, overbites & underbites)
• Closes gaps or spaces

Unlike traditional orthodontic systems, with this alternative you will use clear plastic aligners to move and straighten your teeth. They work in a series of trays that gradually shift your teeth into place. Each set of aligners is custom-made for your teeth, and is used for around two weeks, then replaced with the next set in the series.

The main advantages of Invisalign® compared to traditional braces are:

• They look better and are comfortable to wear
• You can take the aligners out to eat
• It’s easier to brush and floss your teeth
• Fewer consultations required

It's important to consider that not all patients are candidates for this treatment, this is why we highly recommend setting an appointment with one of our specialists to evaluate your case and determine the best treatment for you.

But do not worry! If this treatment does not suit your needs, we offer other very effective solutions for your problem.

Braces

Traditional braces are the most common alternative for orthodontic treatments. The braces are fixed to the tooth surface, and then a wire is used to connect the brackets and apply pressure. The standard form most people are familiar with are made of metal, but at I love my dentist you will find a variety of systems to suit your needs and budget:

• Self-ligating metal braces
• Self-ligating ceramic braces
• Conventional metal braces
• Conventional sapphire braces

Self ligating metal braces

Self-ligating braces are placed much like conventional braces, with the exception of ligature. No elastic or rubber bands or metal ties are present because they are not needed. Instead, special clips or brackets are used to help the archwire move your teeth into place. Depending on the case, self-ligating braces are also easier on your teeth and could reduce the amount of pressure and friction for many who wear them.

Some patients claim they are less painful, and faster in most cases as compared to traditional metal braces.

Self ligating ceramic braces

These braces are barely noticeable. Self ligating ceramic braces are white or transparent and are designed to be as discreet as possible, so they blend in with the natural colour of your teeth, which makes it less revealing and has an improved aesthetical look.

Conventional metal braces

Conventional metal braces work using individual brackets and archwires to move your teeth into position. Each bracket is fitted to the surface of your tooth and the archwire is slotted into these brackets. As the archwire attempts to straighten using light force from elastic bands, it gradually moves your teeth into their desired position.

Conventional sapphire braces

These braces are made of sapphire crystal or synthetic sapphire and are transparent. They are able to adopt the color of the natural tooth and are barely visible. They have very good resistance, close to metallic, and it's quite unlikely that they will deform, break or scratch throughout the process. They do not cause discomfort in the cheeks, nor in the gums.
