When you are an adult looking to straighten your teeth, it can seem that the only viable option will involve traditional metal braces. Far from the subtle look that many adult patients seek!
However, thanks to advances in orthodontics and cosmetic treatments, many orthodontic alternatives take the awkward look away from braces and allow you to get straighter teeth in an accelerated time.
Known as Invisalign in Sydney CBD, this brand of invisible brace is revered among adult dental patients for its ease of use and its discrete look. With a treatment time averaging between 6-9 months, there has never been a better time to ask your dentist about using this brace to realign your teeth.
But how do you know that the dentist you have chosen has the required experience with Invisalign from Sydney CBD? Read on for some tips on finding a suitable clinician.
Consultations
When you choose to undertake Invisalign near Sydney CBD, you will need to attend a consultation with your chosen dental professional. Use this time to ask as many questions as possible and to test their knowledge of the treatment; do they seem to know what they are talking about? Do they have props, catalogues and pamphlets for you to look through? Are they laid back and not too pushy? It may even be worth attending more than one consultation to compare different orthodontists.
Portfolios
As this treatment is technically a cosmetic one, any dentist that you shortlist should have either a paper or online portfolio of past patients who have used this brace.
And while it can be tempting to be a trial case for an upcoming dental practitioner, when it comes to cosmetic procedures, you should leave nothing to chance and need to establish that your chosen dentist has the experience needed to get you the smile you want.
Again, it may be worth comparing the portfolios of your shortlisted dentists to assess which one has the best track record with this brace.
Education
As odd as it sounds, each adult brace, such as the Inman Aligner or Six Month Smiles comes with its training course and this invisible brace is no exception.
Ask to see your chosen dentists certificates concerning this brace and ensure that they are in date and eligible in your country. Ask if the course they attended was more hands-on or if it was an online course. Again, compare and contrast until you find a provider you are happy with.
Confidence
The gut feeling rarely lies, so, when you are meeting with your shortlisted dental professionals, which one makes you feel the most confident?
Do they answer questions directly or do they go off-topic? Aim to choose a straightforward dentist, as they will be your best bet at getting a straighter smile.
Reviews
Look at the reviews your dentist has from current and previous patients to this brace. Do they consistently get 5 stars? Do their previous and current patients sing their praises? If so, pick them!
DISCLAIMER
Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
