Invisalign vs Traditional Braces
When choosing between Invisalign and traditional braces, it’s important to understand the differences. Here is a comparison of key features:
| Features | Invisalign | Traditional Braces |
| Appearance | Clear, nearly invisible aligners | Very visible metal brackets and wires |
| Comfort Level | Smooth plastic aligners that aremore comfortable | Metal brackets and wires can cause irritation |
| Removability | Removable aligners for eating and cleaning | Fixed brackets and wires, not removable |
| Discipline | High discipline needed as required to wear aligners for 20 to 22 hours per day | Not required as fixed brackets cannot be removed |
| Maintenance | Requires regular cleaning of aligners and teeth | Brushing and flossing around brackets and wires |
| Treatment Duration | Typically 12 to 18 months, varies per case | Typically 18 to 24 months, varies per case |
| Diet Restrictions | No restrictions; remove aligners to eat | Avoid hard, sticky, and chewy foods |
| Follow-Up Visits | Every 6 to 8 weeks | Every 4 to 6 weeks |
| Effectiveness | Effective for mild to moderate alignment issues | Effective for a wide range of alignment issues |
What Can Invisalign Treatment Help With?
Invisalign is becoming increasingly popular as a revolutionary orthodontic solution. This transparent aligner system addresses various dental concerns, providing patients with a discreet alternative to traditional braces. So, what can this treatment assist with?
- Overbite: In cases of excessive overbite, where the upper front teeth cover a large portion of the lower ones, Invisalign can help address this misalignment, contributing to the overall health and appearance of the smile.
- Spacing: Noticeable gaps between teeth can trap food, potentially leading to tooth decay and gum problems. Invisalign may assist in managing such spacing issues.
- Crowded teeth: When the jaw lacks enough space, causing teeth to overlap or bunch up, Invisalign aims to improve spacing and alignment.
- Open bite: This condition, where the upper and lower teeth do not meet when the mouth is closed, can impact appearance and speech. With professional guidance, Invisalign may help manage open bites.
- Crossbite: In crossbites, the upper teeth sit behind the lower teeth when the mouth is closed. Tailored Invisalign treatments may help adjust and improve such bite anomalies.
- Underbite: Underbites, where the lower teeth and jaw protrude beyond the upper teeth, can hinder daily functions like biting and chewing. Invisalign may be used to address this condition.
Seeking Invisalign treatment from a dental clinic in Singapore may help address these dental concerns, supporting your journey to a confident smile.
Benefits of Invisalign
- Virtually invisible: Invisalign aligners are clear, making them a subtle option for individuals looking to realign their teeth without noticeable braces.
- Minimal disruption to day-to-day activities: The removable nature of Invisalign aligners allows for easy removal during eating and oral hygiene practices. It is also convenient for individuals with active lifestyles, as Invisalign requires less frequent dental visits.
- Higher level of comfort: Invisalign uses the latest technologies aimed at making the teeth straightening process more comfortable.
The Invisalign Treatment Process
For Invisalign treatment in Singapore, an orthodontist or Invisalign dentist will guide the patient through several stages, from consultation to aftercare.
Our orthodontist will gather details of your medical and dental history, conduct a consultation and examination, and take digital X-rays of your teeth and side profile to enable a thorough and detailed diagnosis and ascertain your suitability for Invisalign. Our orthodontist will also scan your teeth using the iTero machine and take photographs of your teeth and facial profile to create a comprehensive, customised treatment plan for you.
Second visit
Two weeks later, the information previously submitted about your dental condition will be incorporated into the Clincheck 3-D software programme. This software lets your dentist show you a 3-D visualisation of your tooth movements and treatment outcomes. It also maps out a precise treatment plan, including the exact movements of your teeth and the approximate length of treatment. Changes can be made to the treatment plan at this point. Once the proposed plan is confirmed, your aligners will be fabricated at the Invisalign Headquarters.
Third visit
Based on your individual treatment plan, a series of custom-made, clear aligners will be fabricated four to six weeks later. These aligners are made of smooth, comfortable, BPA-free plastic that does not irritate the cheeks and gums. A patient start-up and orthodontic care kit will also be given to you. Your dental specialist will prescribe your aligners based on your treatment progress. You must wear the aligners throughout the day and remove them when you eat or brush and floss your teeth. As you wear each set of aligners, your teeth gently and gradually begin to shift into place.
Review visits
The first review visit will be approximately two to three weeks after you have started wearing the aligners. Your dental specialist will check your aligners for fit and comfort. Subsequently, you will be given two to three sets of aligners. Each set is worn for about two to three weeks before progressing to the next pair. You will sequentially move up each pair of aligners until the next review with your dental specialist.
Review visits are scheduled about six to eight weeks apart. For favourable results and a timely outcome, you should wear your aligners throughout the day unless you are eating and/or drinking. Ideally, you should wear them for 20 to 22 hours per day. Sometimes, your tooth may need to be filed down a little to obtain space to align the teeth. Tooth-coloured composite attachments are also sometimes bonded to your teeth to obtain more control over certain tooth movements.
You should be able to resume your normal daily activities immediately with no downtime. Some individuals may take a day or two to get used to the appliance in their mouths. There may be a general feeling of tightness as teeth are being shifted, but the edges of the aligners should not cut you. Speech may be affected for the first couple of days, but you will get used to it and be able to speak normally with continuous wear.
Keep your aligners clean by brushing them with your toothbrush and toothpaste when you go about your daily oral regime. When rinsing your mouth, use cool water. Do not soak your aligners in any special solutions or hot water, as it will distort the plastic. Always carry your aligner case with you and keep your aligners in them upon removal to prevent losing, breaking, or distorting them.
At the end of your Invisalign treatment, you will require retainers. They maintain your teeth in the corrected positions and are usually worn at night.
Your new smile requires the same care as your natural teeth — flossing, brushing, and regular dental check-ups with your dentist every six months will ensure that your teeth and gums are healthy.
