Shhhhh! At Dublin 18 Dental Rooms, we have a little secret about how we can help patients with misaligned teeth to realign their smiles, without anyone knowing how they are doing it! People can often feel uncomfortable at the thought of having to wear fixed, visible braces and this can sometimes mean they do not want to seek treatment. However, there is another way for those with mild to moderate alignment issues. Invisalign Dublin offers discreet and effective treatment for crossbites, under or overbites, gapped teeth and crowded teeth. While you are using Invisalign’s aligners, other people shouldn’t realise that you are wearing them, affording you the luxury of cosmetic dentistry results, without the whole world knowing about the process.

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign Dublin is a system that uses transparent plastic aligners. When they are worn over the teeth, they apply pressure to move them into the desired position. You will be provided with sets of aligners to change between on a weekly or fortnightly basis for a period of 6 weeks, before coming back to see us for a check-up and to receive the next 6 weeks’ worth of aligners. The aligners are custom-made to fit your teeth precisely, using iTero technology to scan your mouth and to get the measurements for them. Using this, we can also generate a 3D animation of what your teeth will look like after treatment has been completed, so you will know from the start of your treatment what the end goal will be.

Why should I choose Invisalign Dublin?

If Invisalign is a treatment that could work for you, there are many reasons why you should consider it. Invisalign offers the discretion that many people crave for having their teeth realigned. It also offers flexibility as you don’t have to wear the aligners all day, every day. You can actually remove the aligners for up to an hour a day. This means that when you are eating and drinking, you don’t have to wear them and so you don’t have to restrict your diet as you might have to do with fixed braces. You won’t have to clean your aligners after eating, but don’t forget to brush and floss your teeth! On that note, brushing and flossing can continue as normal, as you won’t have brackets and wires to contend with and so the risk of developing further oral hygiene complications is reduced considerably, compared with other treatment options where you have a fixed appliance.

How will I know if Invisalign is right for me?

To find out if Invisalign is right for you, you will need to come into the practice for an initial consultation. During this appointment, we will examine your mouth and we will need to take an OPG and a CEPH X-ray. Alongside a digital scan of your mouth, we will also take impressions. We will be able to discuss the treatment options with you and you can make a fully informed decision having asked as many questions as you need to about the treatments offered.

At Dublin 18 Dental Rooms, we want you to benefit from our experience that Invisalign achieves beautiful results discreetly and effectively. Come and see us to find out how you can smile your best smile!
