Invisalign at Thorndon Orthodontics: A Clear Path to a Perfect Smile

For those in search of a discreet, effective teeth straightening solution, look no further than clear aligners. As a trusted provider of teeth aligners, Wellington residents can transform their smile with this innovative smile solution at Thorndon Orthodontics.

Why Choose Clear Aligners?

Clear aligners are one of the most simple and effective ways to straighten your teeth. These clever and invisible mouthguards gradually shift your teeth into their ideal positions. You can think of clear aligners as similar to invisible braces. Unlike traditional braces which are very noticeable on your teeth, clear aligners allow you to straighten your teeth without compromising their natural look. Thorndon Orthodontics can explore these treatment options with you and create a care plan to meet your needs.

Clear Teeth Aligners: What To Expect

The journey to a straighter smile using aligners for teeth starts with a comprehensive consultation. We will examine your teeth and determine if teeth straightening aligners are the right solution for your needs. Then, using advanced 3D technology (so goodbye to gooey moulds), we’ll create a personalised treatment plan that outlines the exact movements of your teeth.

The Advantages of Choosing Clear Teeth Aligners

At Thorndon Orthodontics, we work with teeth aligners like Invisalign and Spark teeth aligners because of their comfort and quality, made from clear, medical-grade plastic, making them virtually unnoticeable. These clear teeth aligners are also removable, allowing you to eat, brush, and floss normally throughout your treatment period.

Treatment Duration of Clear Aligners for Teeth

The duration of treatment with invisible aligners varies based on the complexity of the case. However, on average, it usually takes between 12 to 18 months to complete the treatment, a similar timeframe to traditional braces.

Aftercare: Retaining Your Perfect Smile

After the initial teeth alignment treatment, we provide retainers to ensure your teeth stay in their new, aligned position. These are discreet, comfortable, and essential to maintaining the results of your teeth alignment journey.

Clear Aligners in Wellington - Frequently Asked Questions

How often do I need to wear my clear aligners?

For the best results, you should wear your teeth aligners for 20 to 22 hours per day. They can be removed for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing, or for special occasions.

Are invisible braces really invisible?

Invisible braces, also called clear aligners, are a type of orthodontic treatment that uses a series of clear, removable trays to straighten your teeth. Unlike traditional braces with metal brackets and wires, these aligners are nearly invisible, making them a popular choice for adults and teens who want a more discreet way to achieve a straighter smile. They’re made from a clear, medical-grade plastic that is virtually invisible when worn. While they"re not completely undetectable, invisible braces are far less noticeable than traditional braces.

How long does the teeth alignment treatment take?

The length of your orthodontic aligner treatment will depend on your specific case and will be outlined by your orthodontist before starting treatment. On average, treatment usually lasts between 12 to 18 months, but this can vary based on the complexity of your teeth alignment needs.

Will I need a retainer after my orthodontic aligner treatment?

Yes, absolutely! After completing your treatment plan, you"ll typically need to wear a retainer to maintain your new smile. This helps prevent your teeth from gradually shifting back to their original position. Where possible, you will be fitted with a fixed retainer wire. Additionally, we will also provide a removable retainer, discreet like your clear aligners and is custom-made for your comfort to be worn at night time.

What brands of clear aligners do you recommend?

Having explored numerous options, we believe that clear aligners like Invisalign and Spark teeth aligners offer quality results and genuine comfort. Both straighten teeth discreetly and effectively. During your consultation, we"ll discuss your specific needs and recommend the best aligner brand for your oral health journey.
