They are custom designed and made to fit you and your individual smile case. When you come to the practice to receive your aligner trays you\u2019ll actually get a few different sets, as every two weeks or so you change the aligners to start the next stage of the moving process. Depending on the individual the <strong>Invisalign Ormskirk<\/strong> system can take between six to twenty-four months to complete.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are the benefits?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Invisalign has become very popular in recent years and the system is a fantastic one, but that\u2019s not to say that other more traditional forms of straightening such as fixed wire braces (train tracks) aren\u2019t also fantastic and extremely efficient. Both ways straighten teeth and when all is said and done that\u2019s all you\u2019re looking to achieve &#8211; straighter teeth.<\/p>\n<p>One of the biggest and most obvious benefits of Invisalign is that they\u2019re, well, pretty invisible. Someone would have to be looking seriously hard to be able to point out that you\u2019re wearing them. Lots of adults and children find that prospect of braces daunting and that\u2019s understandable, anything that makes us stand out or feel different can cause some butterflies, but hopefully with Invisalign this worry bug can be made a little smaller.<\/p>\n<p>Another key feature is that they are completely removable. Being able to remove your braces is a major benefit. Firstly because you don\u2019t have to worry about eating certain hard to chew foods like apples or french sticks. Secondly, because you can on the very odd, super special occasion take them out for part of the day. Thirdly and most importantly your teeth are still accessible and therefore easy to keep super clean.<\/p>\n<p>Comfort and convenience are at the front of the Invisalign experience. The clear trays are very smooth and feel nice and comfy against your tongue, while the pressure system doesn\u2019t push too hard on your teeth and therefore offers minimal discomfort when moving. Then of course there\u2019s that you\u2019ll be coming to see us at the practice less and that it\u2019s highly unlikely you\u2019ll have any damage work to fix. Overall a nice and easy system to work into your busy lifestyle.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The cost<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately Invisalign is not yet available as an NHS treatment and so it would need to be self-funded. However, when you compare the benefits to the cost of the treatment there isn\u2019t a great deal in it. We at the practice are proud to offer finance options on all our products to help assist patients get the smile of their dreams the way they want to.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019re considering straightening teeth either for yourself or for your child, then Invisalign Ormskirk has likely crossed your path.
