Invisalign

A regular check-up is recommended every 6 months to assess the condition of the teeth and oral soft tissues. Early detection of diseases in the mouth means treatment can begin early on to avoid further damage down the track. This consequently will also save on treatment expenses! Our dentists and oral health therapists will help you achieve and maintain healthy teeth and gums when you attend regular check-ups and follow a good home oral hygiene regimen. When you visit us, we will have a chat so we know what you want for your mouth. We’ll have a close look in your mouth at the status of your teeth and gums and we may need to take some x-rays. Then we will discuss options to create a comprehensive treatment plan for you. We currently offer free exams to all new patients across both of our dental clinics! There will be costs involved for any necessary treatment or x-rays which may assist with clinical findings and diagnosis.

At Lakeview Dental Clinic, one of the most frequently asked questions that patients ask is, ‘how are Invisalign aligners different from traditional braces?’ Here’s what we tell them:

Unlike traditional braces with brackets, rubber bands and metal wires, Invisalign clear aligners are transparent. Hence, they are virtually invisible. This benefit makes it a better option for adult patients who don’t want their peers or clients to know about their orthodontic treatment.

Another benefit of clear aligners over metal braces is that they are removable. You can easily take them off whenever you want, such as when you are eating or practising oral hygiene. Rest assured, Invisalign makes it much easier to brush and floss. You can also clean the aligners. Indeed, maintaining periodontal health with Invisalign aligners is easier as you don’t have to struggle through the metal brackets and wires. With Invisalign, you can ensure oral hygiene while achieving your goal of a perfect and beautiful smile.

All these situations can be discomforting and stressful for patients. However, you don’t have to deal with all this with Invisalign. Once you get Invisalign from our clinic, you can enjoy your journey to a straight and healthy smile with maximum comfort. These aligners are made of high-quality and special plastic designed for your mouth. So they fit smoothly and are comfortable to wear.

Both Braces and Invisalign require ongoing use of a retainer at the end of treatment, to prevent the teeth from moving back to its original position and to maintain the results from treatment.
