How Invisalign Works
During your consultation, we will determine if Invisalign is right for you. If it is, we will use advanced technology to create a digital, 3D representation of your teeth. That data will be sent to Invisalign, which will then fabricate your series of custom aligners out of a patented plastic material.
Once you receive your aligners, you will wear each one for about two weeks, striving to keep it on your teeth for 20 – 22 hours each day. As you gradually work your way through your entire series of aligners, your teeth will move little by little into their ideal positions. You will visit us periodically throughout your treatment so we can monitor your progress and provide any necessary coaching.
Indications for Invisalign
Invisalign is able to address most mild to moderate orthodontic problems. Here are some specific examples of issues that it is often used to treat:
Crowded Teeth
Crooked, overlapping teeth can trap food between them, increasing your risk of dental decay and making it challenging to thoroughly clean your mouth. Invisalign, perhaps along with one or more extractions, can reposition your teeth so each one has the space it needs to function optimally.
Gaps Between Teeth
While extra space between the teeth might seem cute or endearing, it can actually pose some oral health risks. For example, your gums may be more vulnerable to irritation and damage. Some patients with a gap between their front teeth speak with a lisp or are embarrassed by the way their smile looks. Invisalign can shift the teeth so they are closer together, revealing a healthier and more attractive smile.
Bite Alignment
Overbite, underbite, crossbite, and open bite are all examples of malocclusion. These bite alignment issues can affect facial aesthetics, increase your risk of dental damage, and heighten your chance of developing TMJ disorder. Invisalign, typically with the help of special attachments, may be able to help you achieve a harmonious, healthy bite.
The Benefits of Invisalign
Some of the most outstanding benefits of Invisalign include:
- The aligners are almost invisible.
- Because the aligners are removable, you can eat all of your favorite foods and enjoy an easy oral hygiene routine.
- Checkup appointments take just a few minutes.
- The aligners are made out of a smooth type of plastic that is designed to rest comfortably against the oral tissues.
- Many patients achieve their final results in just 12 months or so.
