Unsure if your smile can be straightened with invisible braces? Read on

When it comes to straightening teeth as an adult, there is one brace that is ranked as the most discreet and giving great results time and time again. Invisalign.

Removable, easy to use in everyday life and offering accelerated treatment, this brace has helped many adults and teenagers to straighten their teeth. But, like all orthodontics, there are some issues that can be a bit more complicated to correct; while we wish we could use Invisalign to help all of our orthodontic patients, there are times when a traditional or clear brace may provide better results.

For the majority of adults, however, invisible braces in Sydney such as Invisalign are the most suitable option to correct their smiles. Custom-fitted and now more able to correct a wider range of issues, you may be surprised at how versatile this brace is when used by our professional team at Spa Dental Sydney.

But what are some of the issues that invisible braces in Sydney can treat? Read on to see if you may be a suitable candidate!

Crooked teeth

Commonly associated with other malocclusions, crooked teeth are often the most common cause of people seeking treatment with Invisalign invisible braces in Sydney.

While there may be many other reasons for having a crooked smile, such as genetics our team will endeavour to treat this as discreetly as possible. Be aware, that in cases of very severely crooked teeth, you may be more suited to a metal brace.

Over, under and crossbites

Bite issues are often problematic and left untreated can lead to other issues, such as dental grinding, temporomandibular joint disorder and may even be linked to headaches and recurring migraines.

While bite issues may require more serious types of dental treatment to resolve, in the more moderate cases of overbites, underbites and crossbites, Invisalign can be used to push your teeth into a new position, without using the uncomfortable force associated with traditional orthodontic braces.

Gaps

It is a reality faced by many people around the world; when they smile, there are gaps in between their teeth.

Not only can many people find gaps in their smile unappealing, but it can also be an area where plaque and bacteria can accumulate, leading to secondary issues such as decay and gum disease. Invisalign to the rescue!

By gently moving your teeth together, Invisalign successfully closes most gaps, provided that the tooth or teeth that are misaligned are not twisted at a severe angle (more than 20 degrees). If they are, our team will discuss alternative treatments with you.

Crowded teeth

And on the other side of the dental spectrum are teeth that offer each other no leeway, and are crowded. Pressing against each other, crowded teeth can sometimes cause uncomfortable feelings in the jaw due to the pressure.

Once again, severity is a factor and while our team at Spa Dental will always try to resolve any issues with overcrowding with Invisalign, metal braces may be required to create space.

DISCLAIMER

All treatment carries risks. Individual consultation is required with one of our practitioners to ensure that the treatment is right for you.
