We all know that crowded or crooked teeth not only look terrible, but can also have hygienic consequences, causing decay and gum disease.
Gum disease causes rotting teeth which need to be either filled or removed.
And we all know what a terrible look that is! In the old days, the treatment for crowding or crooked teeth was braces.
Braces straightened teeth and helped to reduce crowding.
But the problems with braces were: oThey were ugly and unsightly oThey make your lips bulge out - it kind of looks like you have something stuffed between your lips and your teeth! oThey can cut the insides of your lips, especially when playing sport oThey are difficult to keep clean - and it is not uncommon for food to get stuck in the wires and brackets which can be really embarrassing! But now we have Invisalign Teen.
Invisalign Teen solves all of the problems above and takes you into the 21st Century! oInvisalign Teen is virtually invisible oIt is paper thin - no more bulging lips! oThey are smooth and comfortable, so no more cut lips oThey are removable, which means they are easy to keep clean, and can be removed for sporting or social events.
So how does Invisalign Teen work? Similar to what you would go through with conventional braces, you're dental practitioner will take photos, x-rays, and impressions of your teeth and create a treatment plan.
Afterwards, series of aligners will be custom manufactured for you.
These aligners are made from a lightweight plastic material and will fit around only your teeth and will need to be changed every two weeks for a new one.
Each aligner is slightly different to the previous one, and moves your teeth gently into the desired position.
You will very soon have a smile you can be proud of! Your treatment time will vary depending on how bad your teeth are, but on average you can expect to finish treatment within 9 to 18 months.
Adelaide orthodontist, Dr Grant Duncan, says that Invisalign Teen is just as effective as traditional braces, when worn according to your treatment plan, and is suitable for most cases.
Dr Duncan also says that Invisalign Teen is the clear alternative to conventional braces.
It's clear, comfortable and best of all it's almost invisible - so nobody will know you have them on.
If you have ever felt self-conscious about your teeth, then Invisalign Teen is the one way to get your smile back, without all of the brackets and wires.
It's not just looking good that matters.
Feeling good also matters and thanks to its flexibility and the absence of metal wires, Invisalign Teen is particularly suited for continued brushing and flossing and is gentle on your teeth and mouth.
No longer will you have to worry about the constant irritation and inconvenience associated with metal braces.
