As a leading dental practice in Pontefract, our professional dentists strive to provide top-tier treatments in a cutting-edge environment. One such treatment that’s only gaining in popularity and improvement is Invisalign braces, a revolutionary clear aligner that straightens teeth incrementally. Find out more about it, whether you’re suitable, and its many benefits in today’s post.

Invisalign braces explained

Let’s begin by talking through the treatment. Invisalign braces are clear aligners that you can take out of your mouth whenever, which fit snugly over your teeth. Small amounts of pressure move the teeth little by little, without any uncomfortable force needed. An aligner is therefore created for each movement needed, with many sets needed to complete your treatment (typically 20-30 trays).

Invisalign braces popularity

The braces have been a firm favourite of patients for years, and Invisalign has gained worldwide popularity thanks to celebrity endorsements and huge take-up across dental practices. Why? Because Invisalign uses 3D technology to predict how your teeth will position for that perfect smile – then uses these measurements to create your aligners. It’s a completely personalised treatment, every time, and it’s highly predictable. Patients also love seeing a preview of how those stunning results will look.

Benefits and positives

Invisalign’s biggest benefit is that it has so few drawbacks. In fact, patients love how comfortable the braces are, how quickly treatment progresses, how easy it is to care for the aligners and how discreet they are while being worn. Really, the only negative is cost – but like any adult orthodontic treatment, you’ll need to commit to spending some money to create the results you want. It just happens that here in Pontefract, we can provide 0% finance to help your budget go further.

Candidate suitability

Invisalign can help:

– Straightforward cases, as well as more complex cases involving bite alignment, crooked teeth and gappy smiles
– Teenagers and adults looking for a straighter, more uniform smile
– Those who will reliably commit to 20-22 hours of wear per day, as well as regular cleaning, regular dental check-ups and other recommendations
