Is Invisalign treatment a suitable orthodontic treatment for you?
Invisalign, like traditional metal braces, work towards teeth straightening through an orthodontic process.

If you are struggling with any of these problems, Invisalign with orthodontics in Colchester is a highly recommended treatment for you.

At The Dental Studio we provide professional advice on whether you are a suitable candidate for Invisalign with orthodontics in Colchester. Â Invisalign is suitable for those working in professional settings and for those who do not want any association with metal braces.

What is the full process of Invisalign?
This popular alternative is made from medical-grade thermoplastic, which is a smooth material making the process more comfortable. Once a scan has been taken of your teeth this will be converted into a 3D model to show our patients the full process. The technology allows our patients to see the duration of the treatment and the final results. The aligners will be created based on the patient’s tooth structure and these are required to be changed every two weeks. The clear braces are designed to align the teeth through a controlled force that gradually shifts the teeth into the desired position. This process is monitored to ensure success with orthodontics in Colchester.
The advantages and potential side effects of Invisalign
There are many advantages when exploring and receiving Invisalign treatment. There are aesthetic, physical and social benefits when going through with the procedure. One of the main benefits is that a patient is left with straighter looking teeth, which can boost the self-esteem of the individual concerned. This can help them to interact more in social situations with a confident smile. Having straighter teeth promotes the motivation of patients in maintaining oral hygiene, as it is easier to do and whilst wearing Invisalign it requires patients to take care of their teeth and aligner daily, which again benefits their oral health.
Invisalign is a great treatment, however there are potential side effects with every dental procedure. The more common side effects can include physical discomfort. Although the aligners are made from smooth material and are fitted to be positioned comfortably in the mouth, the aligners may cause irritation to the lip area. There is also potential that the gums and tongue are affected. However, this usually occurs as patients are not yet used to the aligner being in the mouth, therefore this lasts for a matter of a few days.
The necessary and recommended aftercare of Invisalign treatment
After a patient has completed the procedure it is advised to wear a retainer. It is also important to still keep up with a good oral hygiene routine to keep the teeth clean and healthy. This means brushing the teeth twice a day and following recommendations on flossing.
