With the help of Invisalign , you can straighten your teeth as an adult without having to wear visible and uncomfortable braces. The invisible braces Invisalign are a popular choice for anyone who wants to correct their teeth, treat crossbites or underbites, reduce gaps or help with crowded teeth.

It is said that much of our self-confidence lies in our smile and oral health, and it is true. Having straight and beautiful teeth can help you gain confidence and be more open and social with new people. If you find yourself trying to hide your mouth when talking to other people, Invisalign could be the solution for you. With us at Estetikcentrum you will be taken care of by professional and trained dentists who will help you get the smile you always dreamed of.

1. Invisible braces

Many people hesitate to wear braces in adulthood, precisely because traditional braces are visible. With Invisalign you get a completely invisible brace that consists of transparent brackets, without disturbing wires or brackets. You can also remove your braces for easier cleaning and when you want to brush your teeth.

2. Many treatment areas

With Invisalign you can treat many different problems at the same time. For example, the braces can be used to reduce visible gaps, to correct underbites or overbites, and for open bites and crossbites. If you have teeth that you perceive as crooked, Invisalign can be excellent here too. With Invisalign you can treat both minor misalignments as well as more extensive corrections. 

3. Short processing time

Many people dread wearing braces, knowing that it can take several years before a good result is achieved. Invisalign offers a very short treatment time where you wear your braces around the clock for about five months. In some cases, Invisalign may need to be used for longer, for example where more advanced corrections are required to achieve the desired result.

4. Braces with less hassle

Wearing traditional braces is both inconvenient and can cause discomfort. With Invisalign you get the same great results as with traditional braces, but without the hassle and frequent visits to the dentist. With Invisalign , a return visit every four weeks to have your braces replaced and your bite checked is enough. You can also remove your braces when you want to brush your teeth and avoid annoying stuck food.

5. Pain-free braces without chafing

If you've ever worn classic braces, you're probably aware of how much they hurt. With Invisalign you can avoid all the discomfort and eat and live as normal. It's not unusual to feel pressure on your teeth during the first few days, but that's simply because the braces are working properly. After a few days, the discomfort usually subsides. Treatment with Invisalign can be carried out on adults as well as teenagers. 

Summary

In conclusion, as a licensed dentist, I would like to state that it is up to you which method of teeth whitening you choose, and it is not necessarily dangerous or harmful to whiten your teeth at home.

What's important is to first have a dental exam to identify any damage to your teeth that may be made worse by teeth whitening, and get an individualized assessment to see what's best for you and your situation.
