Invisalign Ryde – – Enhance your Smile
What is Invisalign?
Dental problems like crooked teeth, crowded teeth, underbites, and overbites can negatively impact our self-esteem and make us self-conscious about our appearance. If left untreated, crooked teeth might lead to serious dental problems. However, having straight teeth significantly decreases your risk of developing periodontal disease, a gum condition that damages the soft tissues.
Invisalign is an excellent technique to straighten teeth. Our Ryde dentist can non-invasively scan your teeth and design a pair of aligners that will gradually realign your teeth to the best position with new scanning technology.
Benefits of Invisalign
Fewer dentist appointments
With the invisible teeth aligners, you won’t need to visit our dentist regularly, and the appointments will be less invasive and considerably shorter.
You can improve your oral health and confidence by getting your teeth straightened with the help of an invisible aligner.
You can avoid serious dental problems by ensuring your teeth are straightened with a detachable aligner that allows for excellent oral hygiene.
Detachable Invisalign aligners are designed specifically for your teeth. They have smooth edges made from top-notch resin so that you won’t feel any rough metal against your teeth.
How does Invisalign work?
Treatment starts with a consultation with our Ryde dental professional. During this time, he will assess your smile and create a personalised digital treatment plan that outlines the step-by-step improvement of your smile.
Our dentist will x-ray your jaw and scan your teeth digitally. He will take an imprint of your teeth to create your custom Invisalign trays.
In addition to your aligners, our dentist may use custom, tooth-coloured buttons or attachments to help move your teeth. You will wear clear aligners every day and night throughout your treatment.
It could take some days to become acclimated to wearing your Invisalign aligners in your mouth. Our dentist may call you for checkups to ensure the aligners fit snugly.
Invisalign Treatment – Frequently Asked Questions
How should I clean my Invisalign invisible braces?

What's the difference between braces and Invisalign?
Both traditional braces and Invisalign braces are intended to improve your teeth’s alignment to create a straighter smile. Dentists have used conventional braces for many years. However, Invisalign is a newer concept designed to fit today’s people’s needs better.
Here are a few differences between braces and Invisalign:
- Treatment Length: The Invisalign treatment time is far shorter than traditional braces. Most patients only require to wear Invisalign for 6 to 18 months, as opposed to 2 years with conventional braces.
- Convenience: You can remove Invisalign braces from your mouth whenever required. However, it is recommended you wear your trays for 20 – 22 hours daily. On the other hand, you cannot remove conventional braces because they are stuck to your teeth by wires.
- Visible vs Clear: Conventional braces are made from elastic bands and metal wires. This makes them more noticeable, leading to anxiety for some people. In contrast, Invisalign aligners are made from clear BPA-free plastic, which makes them unnoticeable to others.
Our dental practice offers Invisalign treatment to our patients at affordable prices.
