Invisalign
Invisible Orthodontic Treatment in Johannesburg
At the office of Dr. Sahide Choonara, we strive to provide high-quality orthodontic care while maintaining a fun, friendly, and welcoming office environment. Conveniently serving patients in Johannesburg, Sandton, and Randburg, our highly-trained team of orthodontic specialists work hard to treat every patient on an individual basis, designing personalized treatment plans that perfectly suit their unique orthodontic needs. For this reason, we're proud to offer Invisalign to our patients and transform their smiles.
What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a revolutionary alternative to braces that does away with metal wires and brackets altogether. Instead, our Invisalign in Johannesburg uses a series of clear, removable plastic trays to straighten your teeth. The aligners are virtually invisible, which means no one will know you're undergoing treatment. Your invisalign aligners can easily be removed for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. This means that oral hygiene is as easy as ever and you can still enjoy your favorite foods!
How Invisalign Works
Dr. Choonara is a certified Diamond Provider, which means he possesses the highest level of expertise and experience with Invisalign. Additionally, our office is at the forefront of Invisalign technology, and we only use the latest methods to craft your individual treatment plan. At Choonara Orthodontics you can expect the following:
- Your first comprehensive orthodontic examination will include taking measurements, pictures, and x-rays, and creating a 3D computer model of your mouth and bite.
- Our orthodontist will make a diagnosis on your current orthodontic health and any orthodontic problems you may have.
- We'll create a detailed treatment plan to move your teeth from their current positions into a healthy, beautiful, and straight smile.
- Your set of aligners will be custom-made to fit your teeth, and when they're ready you'll receive your first set.
- You'll wear each pair of aligners for 2 weeks before switching to the next, and with each new set, your teeth will move closer to their final positions.
- At the end of your treatment, you'll have a gorgeous new smile that's yours to keep!
It's critical to wear Invisalign for at least 20-22 hours per day, to ensure your treatment progresses as planned. Please follow all recommendations made by your Johannesburg orthodontist.
Caring for Your Invisalign
You'll still need to maintain excellent oral hygiene habits and clear your aligners during treatment. You can brush and floss normally, but during treatment, it's recommended that you brush at least four times a day. You'll also need to brush your aligners every time you take them out or put them back in. You may also want to periodically soak your aligners in a cup of water with a denture cleaning tablet to keep them squeaky clean.
