Invisible Braces - A Simple Way to Get Straight Teeth

We all want straight teeth and a picture-perfect smile. One of the best and most effective treatments to achieve straight teeth is the use of clear braces. Virtually invisible to the human eye, more and more people are opting for this orthodontic treatment in comparison to traditional ‘train track’ braces. Exceedingly popular in adult orthodontic cases, the braces allow you to fix your teeth without drawing any unwanted attention to your mouth.

These tend to be comfortable unlike metal braces with ugly metal wires. This is why more and more people are opting for clear braces that use more up to date technology. They are also affordable and, or course, effective in providing straight teeth. Professional dentists or orthodontists will help you make an informed decision. 

This effective treatment is simple, painless, quick and cost-effective. The clear braces used in this treatment are made from clear plastic or acrylic material that fits over the teeth and gently guides movement.

If you would like more information on clear aligners or to find out if you are eligible for treatment, follow the steps below:

•   Visit your dentist: If you are thinking of how toget straight teeth, the easiest way is to consult your dental practitioner. You can look online for a reliable dental clinic near you. Book a consultation to get more information about invisible braces, their benefits, the treatment procedure and prices.

•   Intra-oral scan of your teeth: Your dentist will first take some impression of your teeth. These can be carried out in various ways, including 3D scanning technology, or the use of a soft-paste like material. All the methods are painless and will not take long to perform.

•   Fitting of first aligner: Aligners are custom-made to fit the patient’s teeth. Once the first aligner is made, it is sent to your dentist for you to try. Once approved, the rest of the aligners are then made and delivered for the complete treatment.

•   Complete treatment: As the treatment involves a series of aligners, your dentist will organise regular check-ups with you to ensure all is going as it should be and will also give you your next aligner. It is important to know how your teeth are responding.

The time required for the teeth alignment treatment using clear braces is dependent on the intensity of the problem i.e. how much the teeth need to be moved for proper alignment. One of the key benefits of these clear aligners is that they can be conveniently removed when brushing, flossing, or eating. This allows you to maintain good overall oral hygiene.
