Invisalign: Is It For You?

Invisalign is an incredibly versatile orthodontic treatment that suits a variety of patients with a range of needs. Our knowledgeable team at Crescent Lodge Dental Practice have years of experience and are expert in providing the highest level of service and patient care.

What Age Group Is Invisalign For?

Traditionally, orthodontic treatment has been linked with teenagers; almost seen as a ‘rite of passage’ of childhood and growing up. However dental misalignment affects a large percentage of adults, 66% of adult patients are 26-40yrs, and an additional 22% are 41-55. Due to Invisalign’s discreet appearance and effective results, clear braces are a popular choice for patients looking to achieve the confidence of a beautiful smile.

Despite its popularity amongst adults, Invisalign is just as effective for teenagers. Your son or daughter could find fixed braces more painful and prominent, affecting their self-esteem and social skills. Invisalign Teen is a fantastic choice for young people wanting to revamp their smile and improve their confidence. Any age above 13 will be considered for Invisalign, dependent on the teeth present, and the stage of their growth.

What Kind of Misalignment Can Invisalign Resolve?

Invisalign is a fantastic remedy for a variety of misalignment issues. The most common reasons for Invisalign treatment include:

– Gaps in between teeth, including front teeth

– Rotated teeth

– Sticking out front teeth

– Crooked front teeth

How Long Will Invisalign Treatment Take?

Some orthodontic treatments can work faster than our clear aligners however these involve the use of visible springs and painful metal brackets and wires which can graze gums and cause irritation. If you’re looking to transform your smile inconspicuously, Invisalign is a perfect choice – with treatments lasting between 9-12 months.

It is impossible to give an exact length of time without seeing you as treatments vary considerably depending upon the starting position and the proposed finishing position of your teeth.

Will Invisalign Suit My Lifestyle?

Our clear braces are detachable and easy to manage, creating minimal disruption to your lifestyle. We recommend wearing your invisible retainers for a minimum of 22 hours a day, and removing them for meal times, drinking and brushing, however, if you have a special event occasionally you are welcome to remove them if they are put back in afterwards. A recommended time frame such as 22 hours is advised for wearing your Invisalign to get the incredible results you deserve.
