Know what type of Invisalign treatment is right for you

By now you’ve probably heard a lot about Invisalign and what this revered treatment can offer patients in terms of comfort, discretion, and cleanliness.

What you might not have been aware of was how many types of Invisalign clear aligners there are to suit your needs.

This article will look at the different types of Invisalign aligners and help you discover which of the range is best for you.

The different types of Invisalign clear aligners

Available to you with Pure Smiles is the Invisalign range which has revolutionised teeth alignment thanks to their bespoke moulds that sort your smile out discreetly. Their range of products includes:

• Invisalign - the original and classic product that is perhaps the most popular, it works effectively, discreetly, and without taking too much time.

• Invisalign Comprehensive - when your teeth require something more extensive, the Comprehensive option is best. It takes a bit longer than the other choices and requires more moulds, as are necessary with more obvious issues.

• Invisalign Lite - if you want your work carried out faster and your issues aren’t severe, you could opt for Lite. It’ll save you some money too.

• Invisalign i7 - remarkably, this choice can solve your problems in under seven weeks! Dentists will only suggest this for minor misalignment and overcrowding problems.

• Invisalign Teen - as the name suggests, the Teen range is for patients who are a bit younger and want to avoid wearing the more traditional “train track” style braces.

Whichever model you decide upon, with Pure Smiles you’ll receive a full oral digital scan to get the moulds and treatment that is right for you.

Which Invisalign aligner is the right choice for me?

The Invisalign aligners you decide on will depend on numerous factors like your age, the severity of the issues, how self-conscious you are of those issues, the total amount of time you want them aligned in, and your budget.

If you’re young enough, you can take advantage of the Invisalign Teen range of clear aligners, designed to take into account that teenagers will grow. Otherwise, there are four different options available to you.

Overcrowding, underbite, gaps, or a host of other issues can be resolved but time might be the most crucial aspect of your choice. If you have very little time and only want to sort out smaller issues, the Invisalign i7 aligners could be just what you’re looking for. However, if you have a little more time, then perhaps going with Invisalign Lite could work more effectively.

If your dentist classes your issues as more problematic than the other aligners can resolve, you will likely be recommended to get the Invisalign Comprehensive aligners. They might cost a bit more, require more moulds to be fitted, and take longer, but are extremely valuable to those who are particularly self-conscious of their smile.

Or maybe you’ll choose the classic Invisalign model, which is extremely popular and works very well on a variety of issues.

The ability to remove the aligners to clean them or just to eat is massively beneficial to customers. This reduces your risk of oral infections and is far less hassle than traditional steel braces.
