Getting Things Straight – What Exactly is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a popular alternative to traditional metal braces, so you can straighten your teeth more discreetly. Instead of brackets and wires, teeth are straightened using clear, BPA-free plastic aligners, custom-designed to fit tightly over your teeth, applying gentle pressure that gradually moves them into the correct positions.

Who Can Have Invisalign?

Invisalign is used to correct most orthodontic problems that include overcrowding, rotated or protrusive teeth, bite problems, and unsightly gaps in between teeth. It is highly suitable for adults and at Happy Rock Dental, we also offer Invisalign Teen. This is a system specifically developed for teenagers, accommodating teeth that have yet to develop. Treatment can be as short as six months or up to 24 months, depending on the complexity of the orthodontic problems to be corrected.

Why Choose Invisalign?

Unlike fixed braces that are tricky to clean, Invisalign aligners are fully removable and can be taken out whenever you want to brush or floss or for meals. There is no need to use all sorts of complex tools to clean in between fiddly brackets and wires, as instead, you can just brush and floss as normal. You won’t even need to adjust your diet and Invisalign fits in with the busiest and most active lifestyles. You can continue playing sports and musical instruments whenever you wish.
