There’s no getting away from it, having misaligned teeth can bring you down. If you are feeling low about your teeth not being aligned, we at Dublin 18 Dental Rooms have a discreet, convenient and comfortable solution for anyone with adult teeth, that will give you the answer you need. Whether you are a teenager at school, who isn’t feeling keen on people seeing you with a mouth full of metal, or an adult who feels too mature to have ‘train tracks’, Invisalign Dublin could be the solution you need to realign your teeth without anyone knowing you’re having treatment!

What is it?

Invisalign Dublin comprises clear plastic aligners which are worn like a gum shield over the teeth and sit comfortably along the gum line. They apply a small amount of pressure to the teeth to gradually move them into the desired position. They are made bespoke to fit your mouth thanks to iTero 3D scanning technology from which we will be able to take the measurements to have your aligners manufactured. With this scan, we can also generate an animation to show you how your teeth will look once treatment has been completed, and that’s before you’ve even received your aligners. When you do receive them, we will give you sets to change between every week and you will only need to pop in to see us for a check-up every 6 weeks.

How Invisalign comes up trumps

While there are other discreet solutions available, we offer Invisalign for mild to moderate alignment issues. With Invisalign, your treatment could be completed in as little as 6 months. It is a convenient system that allows you flexibility around when you wear the aligners. It is recommended that you wear them for 22 hours a day, leaving you with a couple of hours when you don’t need to have them in; whether you’re playing sports or meeting up with friends, the choice is yours. You can also remove them when you eat and drink, so you won’t need to modify your diet – carry on, as you were! You can also take them out for brushing and flossing your teeth, allowing you to keep up with your oral hygiene routine. This can be a really important benefit when compared with fixed braces that sometimes make it difficult to keep teeth and gums clean, with all of the wires and brackets in the way! And, if you’re the type of person who doesn’t have a lot of time to be spending in a dental practice, then don’t worry! Invisalign’s aligners are really hard to break because they are made of plastic, so you shouldn’t need to see us for emergency appointments. As much as we’d love to see you, we know you have better things to be doing than checking in with us and having to take time off work or school.

Over the years there have been many different aligners used to straighten our teeth. We have all seen children with braces and down the year’s other versions have appeared. The advent of new technology and materials brought about the first clear aligners way back in 1997. Since then with technological progression, materials becoming more advanced, the ability to introduce improved adaptability to the treatment has resulted in a far more precise outcome. Invisalign Dublin brings a more powerful yet gentle way of ensuring that the correct amount of force is used in precisely the right direction to achieve remarkable results. Now we are able to treat our patients young and more mature with a clear high-quality product that will produce the required results.

How do they work?

Firstly because they are clear they are less obvious and can be easily removed for eating, drinking and brushing, unlike the previous fixed braces. There are a series of different aligners designed to gradually move your teeth in the desired direction. By shaping each of the aligners differently a specific amount of gradual force is exerted, slowly moving your teeth to the exact position required. To be effective Invisalign Dublin must be worn for at least twenty two hours a day before being replaced by the next aligner in the series. Each aligner in the series must be worn for two to three weeks. This procedure does require a degree of commitment from the patient but the result is well worth the effort.

What is the initial process?

Because the treatment is so advanced there is no guesswork and Invisalign Dublin relies on precision customization which is achieved through the use of the latest technology and continual training of our technicians. At your initial appointment, a member of our friendly team will conduct an exhaustive examination of your mouth, teeth and gums. To enable us to get a panoramic view of your mouth, we will conduct an Orthopantomogram which is a type of wide-angle dental X-ray. In addition, we will take dental impressions as well as a digital scan of all of your teeth and your gums.

What problems can this treatment correct?

This treatment is suitable for patients of all ages because of the use of the very best quality and latest material designs. Due to the adaptability of this product, we are able to treat gaps between the teeth as well as baby and permanent teeth. Tackling an overbite, an underbite or even a crossbite has never been easier or more effective. Our mission is to straighten your teeth so that you can smile broadly without being embarrassed because of the state of your teeth.
