Invisalign is a remarkable and reliable solution to misaligned teeth for many of our patients at Precision Dental Clinic - Dubai. Our team finds that teenagers and adults in the Dubai, UAE area considering realignment of the smile and bite might be regarded as appropriate candidates for this clear aligner therapy. Below are a few questions we often hear about Invisalign from our patients interested in treatment.
What are the specific restrictions on Invisalign?
The team at Precision Dental Clinic - Dubai of Dubai, UAE, want to educate patients that there are certain restrictions on Invisalign treatment, just as with any other dental procedure. However, these restrictions are usually minimal and do not affect the overall effectiveness of the entire treatment. Some common restrictions on Invisalign include:
- Age restrictions. Invisalign is recommended for individuals over twelve when most permanent teeth have come in. This ensures the aligners will properly fit and work effectively to straighten the teeth.
- Severity of misalignment. Invisalign is not suitable for severe cases of misaligned teeth or bite issues. In such situations, traditional braces might be a more effective option.
- Compliance. Since Invisalign relies on patient compliance, it may not be recommended for individuals not committed to wearing the aligner trays for at least twenty-two hours each day. Failure to comply with this specific requirement often leads to longer treatment times and less effective final results.
- Certain dental conditions. Invisalign may be unsuitable for individuals with certain dental conditions, such as gum disease or severe tooth decay. These issues should be addressed and treated before beginning Invisalign treatment.
- Pregnancy. It is generally not recommended to begin Invisalign clear aligner treatment during pregnancy due to potential changes in hormone levels that impact the fit of the aligners and overall treatment progress.
What can I expect from the Invisalign treatment process?
At Precision Dental Clinic - Dubai, our team evaluates the teeth and creates a customised treatment plan using advanced 3D imaging technology. This allows us to show you the expected outcome of your treatment and track progress throughout the process. Next, customised aligners are created for your teeth based on the treatment plan. You spend between twenty and twenty-two hours a day wearing these aligners, taking them off only to brush, floss, eat, and drink.
Approximately every two weeks, you switch to a new set of aligners as your teeth gradually shift into their proper positions. Regular visits to the dentist are recommended every four to six weeks to monitor progress and make any necessary adjustments. When you are at your final set of aligners, your newly transformed smile will be ready to share with others!
