Invisalign can correct your orthodontic issues, but it’s important to follow aftercare, including the retention phase.
After Invisalign treatment, it’s important to:
- Continue visiting your dentist for checks and cleans
- Continue brushing and flossing at least twice daily
- Wear your retainer as directed by your Bondi Junction dentist
Choosing Orthodontics: How Invisalign Works
Invisalign is a clear aligner system that can correct mild to moderate misalignment, crooked teeth and spacing issues.
First, you visit us for a consultation. We determine whether Invisalign will correct your orthodontic issues. If you move ahead with treatment, we take impressions of your teeth and forward the results to the Invisalign lab for aligner fabrication.
Treatment can last anywhere from several months to two plus years, depending on your needs and goals. Your dentist will let you know how long treatment will take during your initial consultation.
Patients often choose Invisalign because it is discreet and removable, which means no eating restrictions.
After Invisalign Treatment in Bondi Junction
After treatment, we fit you with a clear retainer, which marks the start of the retention phase of orthodontics. This is crucial to your long-term success. Without the retention phase, your teeth may eventually revert to previous misalignment.
It’s important to remember that Invisalign is about more than straight teeth. It can also promote improved oral health by reducing tooth wear and making teeth easier to brush and floss.
Besides retainer wear, it’s vital to continue with checks, cleans, and oral hygiene.
Once your teeth are straight, you may also consider additional cosmetic options, such as professional teeth whitening.
