Invisalign Changes Orthodontics
In the past, orthodontics to straighten teeth often involved a set of metal braces that had to be tightened every few weeks during a dental visit. This proved to be cumbersome and time consuming for many patients, which led to the creation of Invisalign.
Invisalign uses a series of clear, BPA-free plastic trays to align teeth.
Each tray is worn for a short time and gently moves teeth closer to their ideal position, and the trays can be removed so you can eat and brush your teeth without worrying about ruining your braces.
We are proud to offer our patients Invisalign and will play an active role in your treatment to ensure you get a predictable outcome for your desired result.
At one time, Invisalign was best for mild to moderate malocclusions or crooked teeth. Today, Invisalign has advanced even more and can treat more severely crooked teeth. The following are some of the problems this treatment can help correct:

Benefits of Invisalign and Straight Teeth
At Precision Dental, we feel it is important to promote straighter teeth for improved oral health. Aesthetically, straight teeth look very nice and can help you feel proud of your smile. But straight teeth are easier to care for, lower your risk of tooth damage and even lessen the chance for gum disease.
Crooked teeth have many hidden spaces between and around teeth, which are places that food debris and harmful bacteria can hide. When the toothbrush cannot reach these areas to clean them, infection can begin and spread, making you more prone to tooth decay, cavities, and periodontitis or gum disease. That’s why straight teeth are considered healthier. And because straight teeth fit together nicely, there is less chance of damaging a tooth while eating or playing sports.
Invisalign can be a great foundation for improved oral health. The following are the benefits of using the Invisalign system to straighten teeth:
How Invisalign Works
Invisalign utilises a series of aligner trays that slowly move your teeth into their ideal position. The trays are customised to fit your teeth and will strategically move each tooth with precision. Each new tray will feel slightly tight when you first put it in, because it is designed to move your teeth from their current position closer to the new position.
You will have checkups with us throughout your treatment so we can ensure your teeth are moving as planned. This allows us to make changes, if needed, so you get the outcome and smile you expect. Some patients may require small adjustments or tools such as buttons and other attachments that help align more complex malocclusions. The following technology is how Invisalign aligns teeth:
SmartForce® attachments further customise treatments to address specific needs of each tooth such as the shape, size, and angle of the tooth. These attachments fit inside the tray while you wear them and are small enough for comfort, yet strong enough for change.
The Treatment Process
If you are interested in using Invisalign to straighten your teeth, give us a call to schedule a dental exam and assessment. We can check the status of your teeth, discuss your goals and then help create a treatment path.
Some patients may need other treatments before Invisalign to ensure the best results. For example, if you have wisdom teeth that are crowding all of your other teeth, it may be in your best interest to remove them. We also search for cavities and other hidden issues so they can be treated before the teeth alignment process.
Once you are approved for Invisalign treatment, we will use SmileView™ to show you how your teeth and smile will look once your treatment is complete. You share your input and once approved, we can begin the process. Here’s what you can expect:
