Invisalign is a revolutionary treatment in the field of orthodontics. Gone are the wires and brackets associated with traditional metal braces. Instead, Invisalign in Banbury comprises a set of virtually unnoticeable aligners made from clear plastic. This makes them ideal for adults and teenagers who don’t want any orthodontic treatment to be obvious. The aligners are custom designed using 3D technology to sit comfortably on your teeth and will gently move them until they’re in the desired position.

The plus points of Invisalign

Invisalign aligners are custom designed to suit your teeth, which means they fit discreetly and easily in your mouth. They also don’t have any brackets or wires, reducing the likelihood of irritation that traditional braces can cause.

Invisalign in Banbury will achieve great results with minimal fuss. Invisalign aligners can be removed for eating, brushing and flossing, making them a low fuss treatment option. You will need to change your aligners once every two weeks until the treatment is complete. During this time you will have occasional check-ups at Amsel and Wilkins to ensure your treatment plan is continuing as smoothly as possible. This makes them a healthier treatment option as it reduces the risk of tooth and gum disease that can arise from food getting stuck in traditional style braces.

Another plus point to Invisalign treatments is that they involve less risk. To move teeth, force needs to be applied. One of the problems that can arise from this is root resorption. This condition refers to the breakdown of the root of a tooth and could potentially lead to the loss of the tooth. Because the forces exerted by Invisalign are more gradual than those applied by traditional braces, it carries a much lower rate of root resorption.

Invisalign in Banbury is also known to be safer on teeth. When traditional metal braces are removed, this can sometimes cause some of the tooth’s enamel to be removed as well. Because Invisalign doesn’t involve using adhesive to bond brackets to teeth, enamel scouring is not an issue.

How long does Invisalign in Banbury take?

The length of an Invisalign treatment is dependent on the severity of individual cases. Treatment varies from between six months and two years, with an average treatment taking 12 to 14 months.
