Understanding the value of Invisalign treatment

As the holiday season winds down and the reality of holiday expenses sets in, many start looking for ways to save money. Whether you are a parent considering orthodontic treatment for your teen or an adult looking to improve your smile with Invisalign aligners, the temptation to opt for cheaper alternatives is understandable. However, it's important to remember that not all savings provide true value.


Why choose Invisalign?


Global success and compliance

Invisalign is a globally respected brand trusted by millions for achieving the perfect smile. Its success across various countries underscores its compliance with diverse dental regulations and laws, ensuring high-quality care and patient safety. This global trust guarantees that you are investing in a tried and tested method for orthodontic treatment.


Innovative materials and extensive research

Invisalign aligners are the result of extensive international research. The innovative materials used in these aligners have undergone rigorous testing to ensure maximum effectiveness and comfort. This dedication to quality and innovation means that you are receiving a product that is at the forefront of orthodontic technology.

Invisalign trained dentists

At Duxton Dental, we practice minimally invasive dentistry, ensuring treatments are thorough yet comfortable. Our team is continually trained in the latest Invisalign techniques and recommendations, ensuring our patients benefit from the most up-to-date practices.

Proven results

Invisalign has built its reputation by consistently delivering on its promises. The aligners are discreet, easy to wear, and can transform smiles in as little as six months. This track record makes Invisalign a reliable and effective choice for orthodontic treatment.


Protecting yourself from cheaper imitations

The internet provides a wealth of information, but it also opens the door to cheaper, lower-quality imitations. When researching Invisalign alternatives, it's essential to conduct thorough research to ensure you're getting a genuine product and quality care.


Research the vendor

Evaluate the support offered by the vendor. Ensure you have access to a qualified dentist and verify their credentials, professional memberships, and insurance coverage. Reliable vendors will have transparent practices and verifiable qualifications.


Research the treatment and long-term support

Understand how the vendor assesses your teeth and plans the treatment. Know who will bear the costs if additional dental treatments are needed. Long-term support is essential for successful outcomes, so ensure the vendor provides adequate follow-up care.

Ask questions

Prepare a list of questions to ask the vendor. Check their responsiveness and willingness to provide information. Look for reviews and speak to previous patients if possible. Ensure there is a physical dental practice you can contact, rather than just an online presence.


The risks of Imitations

Imitation brands may offer lower prices but often at the cost of quality and long-term patient care. These products may look similar but can compromise your dental health. At Duxton Dental, we are aware of such brands and advise caution. If you have any concerns or questions about your orthodontic treatment, please contact our Riccarton dentists.

Tired of your crooked teeth? Desperate to be able to smile with confidence? When it comes to straightening your teeth, the first thing that usually comes to mind is the aesthetic impact of cosmetic dental treatment . And with good reason: orthodontic braces can transform even the most challenging set of teeth into a Hollywood-worthy smile. With dental care innovations skyrocketing over the past decade, Invisalign is the comparatively new kid on the orthodontic block – delivering the same results as traditional braces but with near invisibility, supreme convenience and incomparable comfort. But Invisalign offers much more than just a cosmetic dentistry upgrade and welcome boost to your self-esteem and confidence. As one of the leading options for teeth alignment, Invisalign transforms not only the appearance of your teeth but also improves your overall dental health. Whether you’re looking for a discreet solution for teeth straightening or seeking better dental care, Invisalign treatment provides several benefits that go beyond aesthetics. At Duxton Dental clinic in Christchurch, quality Invisalign treatment is tailored to your individual and unique needs to give you that perfect smile but also the health benefits of Invisalign: Improved oral hygiene and health A major benefit of Invisalign treatment is its ability to enhance your oral hygiene routine. The wires and brackets of traditional orthodontic braces can make brushing and flossing a challenging task, which can result in poor oral hygiene during the teeth straightening process. However, with Invisalign, the removable aligners allow you to brush and floss your teeth without any obstructions. During the Invisalign process, you’ll notice how straighter teeth make it easier to clean your entire mouth thoroughly. This ease of cleaning maintains overall dental health by ensuring plaque and food particles don’t get trapped around teeth, decreasing the risk of cavities and gum disease and promoting healthier gums and teeth.
