Invisalign is the clear alternativebraces. A series of virtually invisible, removable plastic aligners are utilized to create tooth movement.

The real difference between Invisalign and braces is two-fold. The first benefit is that the aligners are totally removable, making it easier to brush, floss and even eat without having to deal with those bracket and wires used in traditional braces. It can really make dental care a lot less complicated, allowing you to use a simple toothbrush, standard floss and maintain your normal diet (not having to eliminate harder food products that tend to break off the brackets of traditional braces). The second benefit is the comfort factor. While you may experience some soreness or tenderness within your teeth or jaw as the aligners shift the position of your teeth, you won't experience any of the irritation inside the mouth that frequently takes place with traditional braces. The reason for this is that the Invisalign aligners are so smooth, so the insides of your mouth never rub or press into hard brackets.

 As a Certified Platinum Elite Invisalign Provider, our Orthodontists at the Straight Smile Centre are highly trained in creating your individual treatment plan using Invisalign's clear, custom-molded aligners to solve a range of issues, including:

· Overly crowded teeth

· Widely spaced teeth

· Overbites

· Underbites

· Crossbites

Unlike braces, Invisalign aligners have no metal bands or wires to irritate your mouth. So go ahead and be as active as you like. Since Invisalign is removable, just take the clear aligners out for special events or if you're going to indulge in a sticky, gooey snack.

The benefits of Invisalign are:

· Clear and invisible

· Comfortable

· Removable for tooth brushing and special occasions

Invisalign is a real alternative to traditional metal braces.

Although the majority of Dr Duncan's patients are treated with the Invisalign system, not all cases are suitable. Arrange today for your free no obligation Straight Smile Centre assessment.
