What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign, brought to you by Align Technology, is a clear aligner system used for orthodontic treatment. The aligner trays are made from a comfortable thermoplastic material known as SmartTrack. Invisalign's most significant advantage is that it delivers beautifully straight smiles without dealing with the noticeable brackets and wires of traditional braces.
What Orthodontic Concerns Can Invisalign Correct?
Invisalign is highly effective at treating a variety of orthodontic concerns, including crowded, crooked, or gapped teeth. It can also correct mild to moderate problems with the bite, including open bites, underbites, crossbites, and overbites. Some severe bite problems, however, may respond better to traditional metal braces.
What Can I Expect With Invisalign?
We will start by evaluating your smile's unique needs and determining whether Invisalign is right for you. Next, we will take photos and 3D digital scans of your mouth and jaw to map out your custom treatment plan, with the precise movement of your teeth and your length of treatment. You will even get to preview your new, beautiful smile.
An Invisalign lab will fabricate your aligners to your smile's unique specifications. You will need to wear your clear aligner trays for 20 to 22 hours per day for the best results. You will move on from one set of aligners to the next about every two weeks, and you will visit our office periodically so that we can ensure the treatment progress is on track.
What Are the Benefits of Invisalign?
Invisalign's clear aligners are virtually invisible, so the people around you may not even notice they are there. Unlike fixed braces, you can remove your aligners to eat all your favorite foods without restrictions and to brush and floss as you usually would. Invisalign's aligner trays are incredibly comfortable and will not scrape your mouth as metal braces and wires sometimes do. Best of all, Invisalign can straighten your smile up to 50 percent faster than traditional braces!
