Invisalign in Sydney CBD: still going strong 20 years on

In every industry, there’s a time when an innovation comes along that is so different, so new, it changes the face of that business.

In dentistry, Invisalign is one such game-changing invention. Here at Spa Dental Sydney CBD, we have a long track record of using Invisalign in Sydney CBD. We still delight in seeing the joy of our patients when they realise they can have their teeth straightened without the use of conspicuous metal braces.

New and improved

When Invisalign first appeared on the market in 1997, the reason it was such a breath of fresh air was that, at the time, it was the only type of brace that didn’t use visible brackets and wires. Invisalign braces are more like thin, transparent mouth guards that fit over the teeth. Once in place they are almost invisible.

Here was a braces system that was not only clear, but also removable. The aligners are removed for eating and cleaning, so no more risk of food getting caught in the wires, increasing the risk of tooth decay.

For adults and awkward teenagers, this was a huge boost. Their wonky smile could be realigned without anyone having to know. No more taunts of ‘brace face’ or stares from strangers. No more uncomfortable questions about why you are wearing braces as a grown up.

And unlike traditional braces, Invisalign in Sydney CBD doesn’t pull the teeth into position using an off-the-shelf device. It pushes them into place through the use of speciallydesigned pressure points within the aligners, and so is more comfortable to wear.

How does it work?

Our Sydney CBD Invisalign dentist takes x-rays and impressions of your teeth that are fed into a computer program. This creates a digital treatment plan, so the Invisalign technicians can create your custom-made aligners. Because each pair of aligners is personally made for each patient, they are a snug fit and target the exact area that needs to shift to realign the teeth.

Invisalign was a huge step forward for teeth-straightening technology 2 decades ago and it’s still doing a great job for patients today. Drop into our surgery and find out if Invisalign in Sydney CBDis for you.
