As Invisalign is considered the world\u2019s most advanced clear teeth aligning system, we often are asked questions about it. Here are some FAQ to help you make your smile-straightening decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What is Invisalign?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This clear alternative to traditional metal braces uses a series of transparent plastic aligners to help people obtain a beautiful, straight and photo-worthy smile. The aligners need to be worn 22 hours a day and can be removed to eat and brush your teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Is Invisalign comfortable?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In general, Invisalign is highly comfortable, but you may experience a bit of discomfort at different times such as when your teeth are shifting. When you place and remove the aligners, you also may feel mild discomfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Can you give me a quote over the phone?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n No; the reason we don\u2019t provide treatment quotes over the phone is that we need to examine you first to determine if you will require a lengthier treatment time. For example, a patient may have a more severe misalignment and need an extended course of treatment. If in your particular case, it\u2019s necessary that your teeth move more, your treatment will usually cost more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n How can I decide which dental practitioner I should see?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Like most people, you probably want a professional who is highly experienced, friendly and offers reasonably priced care. Our dentists provide that and more. We are honoured to have received many five-star reviews. If you select us to be your dental care provider, rest assured that you will receive the highest quality care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Are there other clear aligner systems appliances apart from Invisalign?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes, there are; however, at Officer Dental Care, we use only Invisalign as it gives patients excellent, predictable results. We encourage you to book a consultation with one of our dentists so that we can equip you with the information necessary to decide if Invisalign is right for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Is Invisalign better than braces?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n We don\u2019t have a simple answer to that as it all depends. For example, in some instances treatment using a clear aligner system is advised, while in other situations, conventional metal braces are the best option. For other individuals, lingual braces are the optimal choice. When you come in for a consultation with one of our dentists, you will receive information about the various teeth-straightening options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have additional questions about Invisalign, please contact Officer Dental Care today!
