Invisible Braces Dublin

Aligners are an alternative treatment programme for those that would not consider traditional braces.These braces are removable and virtually invisible and because they are removed for eating, there is a greater choice and less restriction on your diet.  Brushing and flossing is facilitated as you have complete and normal access to all areas of your teeth.The significant difference between these braces and the conventional fixed braces is that fixed braces are working 24/7, whereas when these are removed for cleaning, eating and the occasional social event, tooth movement is immediately disrupted and no progress is made.

However if you are committed to wearing the aligners as much as possible and removing them only to eat, drink, brush and floss, then you will quickly see the improvement in your teeth as they gradually move towards the pre-determined position that has been planned by Dr O’Donnell.

 The series of clear aligners (similar to thin gum shields) are generated by computer simulation.  Each set of aligners is normally worn for approximately 2-3 weeks.  As you progress towards the next set within the series, you will observe an improvement in the of your tooth position.  Many patients find these clear aligners quite comfortable, due to the lack of metal wires or brackets.

Treatment time can vary from 6 months to 26 months and the average number of aligners worn is approximately 20.  But there would be huge individual variation on this figure. Invisalign also allows you to view your own proposed treatment progress onscreen. So you can visualise how your teeth will look once straightened at the end of aligner treatment.

• A series of invisible, removable and comfortable aligners
• 3D computer imaging technology
• Because the inside surfaces of the teeth are covered by the plastic aligners, there would be an effect on speech which will gradually improve the longer the braces are worn
• They’re ideally suited to adult patients whose lifestyle, travel or work commitments would make it difficult to wear conventional appliances
• Each appliance moves the teeth towards the intended position and each successive appliance moves your bite towards the final result
• This type of treatment is best suited to simple cases which require simple alignment of teeth and non-necessity for tooth removing
• Suited to mild spacing / mild crowding
