Living with misaligned or crooked teeth is still a common problem amongst adults living in the Republic of Ireland, even though this is a dental issue that can be resolved for many who are having to live with the discomfort of this issue. Those who live with misaligned teeth may find that they are involved in a daily battle to achieve and maintain a high standard of oral hygiene, as their teeth and gums may be difficult to navigate with a toothbrush or floss making correct cleaning hard work.
By using tooth alignment treatment patients can have their teeth perfectly aligned and this should aid them in their efforts to achieve higher standards in their oral health and hygiene. This, in turn, should help to reduce the occurrences of common dental issues, such as gum disease, tooth decay, and plaque build-up, allowing patients to enjoy a better quality of life overall.
Invisalign Dublin represents a modern way of thinking about tooth alignment treatment and gives adults the chance to receive the treatment they feel will be of benefit to them in a way that is totally discrete.
An invisible aligner
It is not uncommon for adults living with misaligned teeth to talk about how they were offered tooth alignment treatment in their teen years but decided not to engage with the treatment at a time when they felt sensitive, due to a fear of how the treatment would make the mouth area of their mouths look. These adults may also talk about how they regretted their earlier decision not to receive treatment.
However, these adults want a treatment that will give them the result they are seeking but in a way that is discrete or has a little impact on their appearance, where possible. This is where Invisalign may be able to come into its own, as it is an aligner that is practically invisible to the eyes of others once in position within the patient’s mouth.
Created from two pieces of clear, strong, and durable plastic this is an aligner that is designed to fit over the teeth and allow them to be seen, this means then when others are looking at the patient face on all they will see is the patient’s teeth. This gives the patient the confidence to carry on living life as normal while knowing they are receiving the treatment they feel will benefit them in the long term.
Find out more
To find out more about modern alignment treatment patients should contact their local dental practice to book a consultation appointment, at this appointment they can have their teeth, gums, and mouth fully examined allowing their needs assessed. Once this examination has been carried out the dental professional, normally a dentist or orthodontist can take the patient through the options that may be available to them.
If Invisalign Dublin is a suitable option for the patient the dental professional will outline how the treatment uses a series of aligners to achieve the results that the patient desires, tooth alignment treatment will normally last between twelve to eighteen months. Once treatment is completed the patient should enjoy a level of oral hygiene that is greatly improved.
