If you have healthy teeth and gums and are looking to improve the appearance of your smile then look no further. Speak to us at Dublin 18 Dental Rooms and find out about Invisalign Dublin and how it can help improve the aesthetics of your teeth. Invisalign Dublin is a highly popular teeth straightening treatment option which provides an excellent alternative to traditional orthodontic treatment. First introduced in 1997, since then Invisalign has been firmly established as one of the most popular clear aligners for treating misalignment issues of the teeth.

To be able to undergo Invisalign Dublin you will first need to have a comprehensive examination of your teeth and gums with our dentist at the practice. Once our dentist is happy that your teeth are clean and that your gums are strong and healthy you will undergo a three-dimensional scan using a specialised iTero scanner, designed by the makers of the Invisalign. This will bring up a three-dimensional image of your teeth within minutes and will be able to show you how you can change the appearance of your teeth following a successful course of treatment with Invisalign Dublin. The scan results are also used to help individually manufacture the aligners which are involved in the treatment. This means that there is no messy impression taking involved. The aligners are highly accurate and precise to enable comfort and effective, predictable results.

How does Invisalign work?

Each aligner is worn for two weeks at a time and is designed to move your teeth by up to 0.25mm. After this you move on to the next aligner in the series and it is recommended that after every two or three aligners, you visit your dentist. This is to make sure that the procedure is coming along successfully and that moving your teeth is not causing any other issues in the meantime. The total treatment time varies from 6 to 12 months depending on the extent of misalignment to begin with. The aligners are highly convenient and can be taken out of your mouth and replaced as necessary. They need to be worn for approximately 22 hours of the day and removed at meal times or for drinks other than water. This is to help maintain good oral hygiene and to make sure that your aligners are clean and intact. It is important that food does not get stuck between your teeth and the aligner which may result in other dental issues. It is imperative that you maintain good oral hygiene whilst undergoing treatment with Invisalign, And you will be able to improve all aspects of your smile. Speak to your dentist and find out more about Invisalign today, as this could be the perfect choice of treatment for you.
