Patients, who are dissatisfied with the overall look of their teeth, achieve incredible results with invisalign. For teeth that are slightly to moderately crooked, Invisalign can correct the alignment, to create a stunning smile that’s all yours.
A series of clear retainers are fabricated in a lab, to support and manipulate the teeth into their new position. Worn 20-22 hours per day, the aligners are a discreet, and convenient method of straightening teeth.
Is Invisalign better than regular braces?
Regular braces are not ideal for adults with working and personal lives. The inability to remove regular braces for certain life events can be quite inconvenient. Invisalign can be popped out of the mouth in an instant, for anytime you’d rather not share your secret with those around you. Invisalign is removed for eating and cleaning, eliminating awkwardness, and ensuring nothing gets stuck or left behind after mealtimes.
How does Invisalign work?
Impressions are made of the teeth, and x-rays taken, to determine the natural movement and direction of the teeth. The Invisalign technician makes a series of aligners, based off the mold, and the desired end result for teeth. Around once a week, the dentist checks the progress, and teeth graduate to the next aligner in the series. Results are dependent on the patient adhering to the program, and wearing the retainers for the recommended 20-22 hours per day.
Invisalign is a popular orthodontic treatment that uses a series of clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth. Some of the advantages of Invisalign compared to traditional metal braces include:
Aesthetics: Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible and can be worn discreetly without drawing attention to your mouth, making them a popular option for adults and teenagers who are self-conscious about their appearance.
Comfort: Invisalign aligners are made of smooth, flexible plastic that is comfortable to wear and does not irritate the gums and cheeks like traditional metal braces.
Convenience: Invisalign aligners are removable, which means you can take them out to eat, brush and floss your teeth, and for special occasions. This also makes it easier to maintain good oral hygiene during treatment.
Predictable results: Invisalign uses advanced technology and computer simulations to create a custom treatment plan that is tailored to your individual needs. This helps ensure predictable results and can often lead to shorter treatment times compared to traditional braces.
Fewer office visits: With Invisalign, you typically only need to visit your orthodontist every six to eight weeks for check-ups and adjustments, compared to monthly visits with traditional braces.
Overall, Invisalign offers a comfortable, convenient, and discreet way to straighten teeth and improve your smile. However, it may not be suitable for everyone, so it's important to consult with an orthodontist to determine if Invisalign is the right treatment option for you.
