Invisalign® treatment plans combine proven orthodontic science with 3D computer graphics that project tooth movement so you can show these visuals to your patients.
Each aligner is worn for two weeks, ideally 22 hours a day, only removed for eating, drinking, brushing and flossing. Treatment times can vary and are customised to meet individual needs.
Invisalign® is an effective treatment plan for minor to moderate tooth movements, or a valuable modern technology to support multi-discipline treatments.
The vital step in a successful orthodontic treatment is retaining the new teeth position. Retainers help with the active movement of teeth due to periodontal, occlusal and soft tissue forces.
Fixed retainers are ideal for situations when soft tissue pressure is producing a relapse tendency, and these can be designed for an indefinite or prolonged period. The most common fixed retainers include bonded lingual or palatal wires and cemented lingual arch wires.
Temporary or removable retainers are designed for limited retention periods, allowing for gingival and periodontal tissues to be stabilised. At Southern Cross Dental, we recommend Vivera® retainers from Align Technology.
We’re here to support you every step of the way, with ongoing support on your patients’ cases. Once you send your initial patient consultation moulds and digital photos, the Southern Cross Dental Clear Aligner department will work with you to create a treatment plan for the patient. We can revise the plan at any time to ensure best results for you and your patients.
