The medical technology has developed in leaps and bounds over the past decades. Today, you have cures for the most deadly of ailments. Hence, having a cure for misaligned teeth should not be a problem at all. In case you are young with the teeth growing process in progress, the normal braces should be the perfect cure. They can set right the most stubborn of crooked teeth ever. However, if you are a grown up adult, the best cure for the misaligned teeth is the use of Invisalign braces. The dentist Baulkham Hills usually prescribe this treatment for his grown up patients.

Let us see some interesting facts about Invisalign, its benefits, and use.

- Invisalign is the perfect alternative for the traditional and conventional braces. The only difference is that it will be practically invisible. The aligners are made out of a glossy transparent material. Yu have to wear them over your teeth. Needless to say they are custom made. This entails that no one but you will be able to wear your Invisalign braces.

- The best part of the Invisalign is that no one will be able to tell that you are wearing one. The Baulkham Hills dentist will provide you with a minimum of three custom-made Invisalign retainer sets. It is always beneficial to wear the retainers forever at least during the night when you sleep.

- You must note that you should be having the Invisalign braces in your mouth for at least 22 hours in a day. You can remove them while eating, brushing, and flossing your teeth. A normal treatment procedure of Invisalign lasts for around 6 to 18 months depending on the severity of the misalignment.

- The greatest advantage of using the Invisalign treatment as compared to the normal braces is that there is no restriction on the kind of food you can have. There is no risk of the food getting lodged between the teeth or anything of that sort. Cleaning the aligners is easy as well. You can remove them and clean with lukewarm water a pinch of toothpaste.

- As is with any kind of treatment, you are bound to face the odd discomfort for a day or two. After the first couple of days, you will get used to the aligners and hence face no discomfort while eating or speaking. It is akin to wearing the spectacles. You need some time to adjust to the new surroundings.

- Anyone can use Invisalign. There is no restriction on age. However, if the misalignment is severe it can cause more time for cure. Sometimes, it may also require shaving or filing of the teeth to remove the jagged edges.

- In case of sever misalignments, the frequency of visiting the dentist can increase. Otherwise, you need to visit the dentist once in a period of six weeks to change the aligners.

- Naturally, the cost of this treatment is definitely more than that of the braces. This is because of the advanced technology.

Move ahead with the times and use Invisalign to set right misaligned teeth.
