Invisalign - Tooronga Family Dentistry in Glen Iris

Invisalign is a company that had developed a novel way to straighten teeth without the need for braces. It manufactures “clear shells” or aligners that, gradually shift teeth into place to achieve a stunning smile. It’s a discreet alternative to traditional metal braces. The big advantages of clear aligners are:

Less noticeable: The aligners are clear, so you can smile with confidence. Some of our patient said that the aligners are invisible to their friends and colleagues.
Easy to maintain: You can brush and floss your teeth normally, keeping your teeth nice and clean all through the orthodontic treatment.
Comfortable: There are no metal brackets that can irritate your tongue or lips

Treatment time with clear aligners many times is reduced compared to metal braces. But there are some conditions which are more difficult to treat with aligners and would require a treatment with braces.

Since everyone’s case is different, the best way to achieve your goal of straight teeth is to schedule an examination with Dr. Kaufman. He will go through with you and explain which options are better for you. Once you have all the information, It’s up to you to decide which option you prefer.
