ORTHODONTICS INVISALIGN CLEAR ALIGNERS BRISBANE
Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry that focuses on diagnosing, treating, and preventing dental and facial anomalies in both children and adults.
Orthodontics requires design, application and control of corrective appliances (such as braces), to align teeth, lips and jaws to achieve facial balance and straight teeth. Experienced dentists at Heritage Dental Group understand the importance of how straight teeth can influence one’s appearance and overall confidence and self-esteem. Orthodontics not only provides positive cosmetic results but can also play an important role in reducing the need for future dental treatment.
Crooked and crowded teeth are often more difficult to clean and maintain which can contribute to conditions which cause tooth decay along with eventual gum disease and tooth loss. Other orthodontic problems can contribute to abnormal wear of tooth surfaces, inefficient chewing function and excessive stress on gum and bone. In addition, misalignment of the jaw joint can even cause chronic headaches or pain in the face or neck.
Children and adults alike can benefit from orthodontic treatment as healthy teeth can be moved at almost any age. It is however recommended that all children have an orthodontic screening no later than age seven, as some orthodontic problems may be easier to correct if treated early.
Dr. Singh offers orthodontic appliances and Invisalign Clear Aligners at our practice Heritage Dental Group in Indooroopilly.
Invisalign Aligners or Orthodontic treatment can have a positive influence on the following dental problems:
- Crowding of teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Protruding upper teeth
- Under bite or lower protrusion
- Open or cross bite
- Deep overbite
Custom-made appliances and other devices are prescribed and designed by the dentist and orthodontist according to the problem being treated. By providing a constant, gentle force in a carefully controlled direction, these devices can slowly move teeth through their supporting bone to a more desirable position.
INVISALIGN ALIGNER TREATMENT BRISBANE
WHAT IS INVISALIGN?
The Invisalign system uses a series of clear aligners that gently and gradually shift or move your teeth to the desired place. These aligners are clear, thin and made from medical grade plastic which you will wear for 22-23 hours a day. You only take them out to eat and clean your teeth. These aligners are custom made to fit your teeth. We use latest 3D technology at Heritage Dental Group to scan your teeth to make these aligners. Get the best Invisalign aligner care in Brisbane.
Invisalign is suitable for people with mild to moderate crowding or spacing. Invisalign is now more affordable than it was a few years ago. It is appropriate for adults across all age groups.
