for adults of all ages
invisalign for ADULTS @ octagon orthodontics
Invisalign is a removable brace system that uses a series of custom-moulded aligners to move adult teeth. The great thing about Invisalign is that the aligners are transparent and invisible (no metal bands or wires), therefore nobody is going to realise that you are undergoing treatment – unless you tell them and … it is suitable for adults of all ages. In fact we have numerous patients who are over 70!
Invisalign can be used to treat the vast majority of common problems for adults. Using advanced 3-D computer imaging technology, we can demonstrate what your smile will look like allowing you to visualise your treatment from start to finish through animated visuals, which can be viewed on a computer.
At whatever age, whether your smile needs minor improvements or more extensive adjustments, Invisalign can certainly help. It is successful in treating crowded or widely spaced teeth. It can also relieve more complex issues, including overbites, overjets, under bites and even cross bites.
Every 1-3 weeks you will have to replace your old aligner for a new one which will continue to guide your teeth in the necessary direction. Each new aligner may give an initial feeling of minor discomfort for a couple of days – this sensation is typically described as a feeling of pressure and is a sign that Invisalign is working!
Invisalign aligners must be worn all day, except when brushing, flossing or eating. Fortunately, because you can remove your aligners to eat and drink you can eat all your favourite foods and drink that occasional glass of wine!
Irrespective of your age or the treatment required Octagon Orthodontics is well placed to give you the smile you have always wanted.
