Teeth Straightening
Looking to straighten your teeth?
If you have crooked teeth you may be embarrassed to smile in public and this can have an impact on your social life. At 8to8 Dental, we understand how important it is to have the confidence to smile.
It’s never too late to straighten your teeth and the most up-to-date tooth straightening systems are available here at 8to8 Dental. |
Invisalign uses a series of clear aligners in place of traditional metal braces. The revolutionary technology straightens your teeth with a series of clear customised removable aligners, which are similar to thin gum shields.
The aligner is a piece of medical grade plastic that fits over the teeth like a glove fits over a hand. People can hardly tell you are wearing them. Little by little your teeth move gently until they are straightened to the final position you feel is right for you. Invisalign is suitable for teenagers, adults, people with crooked teeth, with spaces between their teeth or people who have had braces before. The treatment will usually last from 8-24 months. |

Invisalign FAQs
Does Invisalign hurt?
Usually the first few days when you first start wearing Invisalign you can get a mild discomfort – almost like a bruising feeling. Once your teeth get used to the movement (just like if your muscles are getting used to going to the gym) then the discomfort ceases.
You can get mild ulceration of your mouth when you are new to the trays.
Does Invisalign give me a lisp?
Usually no. Some people suffer from a lisp for an hour or so when the Invisalign tray is placed. They very quickly lose this. Sometimes its lasts for a day or two. It would be very rare for this lisp to stay during the whole of treatment.
How long will I have my Invisalign on for?
This really depends on how severe your misalignment is. Braces can be on for anything from just a few months to a few years.
