The benefits of Invisalign clear aligners in Dubai
One of the first things people notice when we meet them is our smile. Having a perfect smile boosts our confidence and makes us feel good when interacting with others. Consequently, if you are unhappy with your smile due to crooked or misshapen teeth, this can have a dramatic effect on your self-esteem. The good news is that it is easier than ever to straighten your teeth with Invisalign, giving you the smile and confidence you have always wanted.
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is an innovative tooth correcting technique that uses clear aligners to straighten and realign teeth. The aligners are moulded to the shape of your teeth and changed after a recommended amount of time, typically one to two weeks until the desired results are met. The aligners are clear in appearance, meaning they are barely visible, and as the trays are removable, it is easier to than with metal braces and they are easier to clean.
How Invisalign works
You will start with a consultation with our expert dental team at Cornerstone Clinic in Dubai, who will first determine if you are a suitable candidate for Invisalign. Your dentist will then take digital images of your teeth, and these images will be used to make a 3D model. A series of clear aligners are then created to gradually move your teeth to the desired position. Your dentist will discuss the exact treatment plan with you; however, most aligners are changed every one to two weeks, and the process can take anywhere from 3 to 24 months. Finally, you will be given retainers to wear at the end of your treatment to keep your teeth in their new position.
So, what are the benefits of Invisalign?
Invisalign clear aligners offer many benefits in comparison to traditional metal braces:
More aesthetically pleasing
Metal braces can be daunting, especially for adults, as they are highly visible when talking, and therefore people will be aware you are undergoing dental treatment. Invisalign clear aligner trays are transparent, meaning they are almost invisible, giving you more confidence to perform your normal daily activities.
Comfort
Invisalign are more comfortable to wear than metal braces as they reduce the pain of metal scraping against your tongue, cheeks and gums. They also allow you to remove the trays while eating, brushing, and flossing, which reduces discomfort.
Fixes a variety of dental concerns
Invisalign clear aligners can help with a variety of dental concerns:
Fewer visits to the dentist
When you start your Invisalign treatment program, you will receive multiple sets of trays in advance, resulting in fewer visits to the dentist.
Removable
Your Invisalign trays are removable, which means you can take them out to eat, brush your teeth, and floss, reducing discomfort and offering more flexibility than with traditional metal braces.
Easier to clean
Invisalign braces are much easier to clean than metal braces, as you can simply remove them, gently brush them with toothpaste and water, and then reattach them to your teeth.
Invisalign braces may not be suitable for everyone, depending on the severity of the dental issues you are facing. To see if you are a candidate for Invisalign in Dubai, book an appointment with our general dentist, Dr Carla Cyrino at Cornerstone Clinic, Grosvenor House, Dubai.
