Teeth Straightening

The Invisalign® system uses a series of clear, removable aligners moving your teeth step by step, to create a beautiful smile. Invisalign® is almost invisible, so others don’t even notice you’re wearing them.

Invisalign® is a modern teeth straightening method, that uses custom made aligners for each individual patient. Made of smooth, comfortable and virtually invisible plastic they are worn simply over your teeth.

Our teeth will gradually and simply shift into place, based on an exact plan your dentist has designed. With no metal brackets or wires to attach and tighten, you merely put in a new set of aligners every fortnight or so, until the treatment is finished. Voila, you have the smile and confidence you’ve always deserved.

Most people won’t even know your straightening your teeth as the the whole process is going on.

Yes, there are alternative treatments traditional braces, but none are as comfortable, convenient and easy as Invisalign®.

No matter how old you are, you’ll really appreciate how little this process interferes with your life, yet the end result is dramatic.

Here are the top reasons people choose Invisalign Teeth Straightening System in Auckland.

The main reason this happens is the mouth is simply too small for the amount of teeth in it. We can provide a easy , painless solution to this common problem and Dr Cham has a range of products suited including Invisalign.

This also is a common  occurrence when patients have too much room in their mouths so the teeth in turn spread out and create small but embarrassing gaps between the teeth. There are many reasons for this and it could be due to the teeth being smaller than average , or the bones in the jaw being larger than usual, or family genetics, teeth that were broken, damaged or removed previously and another less seen issue called tongue protrusion.

Crossbites is a condition that appears when the lower and upper jaws are crooked. This condition may cause a severe strain on the jawbone, which is why invisalign is perfect for this condition.

An Overbite is a condition that occurs when the upper teeth severely overlaps the lower teeth, this is seen when the jaws are closed. Having an overbite gap of 3-5mm is considered normal anything greater than 5mm is considered to be abnormal and teeth straightening would be recommended.

An underbite is a condition that occurs when the lower teeth are placed in front of the upper teeth causing them to overlap. Underbites can be a generic thing and should be treated as soon as possible as it may worsen if not treated.

It is suggested one should visit an experienced Invisalign specialist to get the best services and advice. They will explain and cater your specific needs.
