Straightening discreetly – The transparent plastic trays make it possible to smile without feeling self conscious. You can also take out the trays when you want to eat or brush your teeth.

Clear Aligners

They are also easy to remove for eating, drinking (except water), brushing and flossing. Wear your aligners as prescribed by your doctor to achieve the best results.

Your doctor will create an individual treatment plan for you based on 3D images and digital scans of your teeth. This allows for precise planning and ensures that the aligners fit comfortably. Treatment times vary from patient to patient but are usually completed in 9-18 month.

The clear aligners gently press your teeth into a better position. This can help improve the aesthetic appearance of your smile, as well alleviate various bite issues.

While the clear aligners are effective for treating mild to moderate crowding, spacing and alignment problems, your doctor may recommend other treatments if you have more severe orthodontic issues. These can include traditional braces, fixed appliances or lingual braces.

You will receive new clear aligners every two weeks during your treatment. Each set is designed to shift your teeth into a different position, until they are in the final desired position. You will wear your aligners 20-22 hours a day. Only remove them for eating, water, brushing, or flossing. If you do wear your aligners, it could make your treatment take longer. It may also result in less desirable results. You can avoid this if you always wear your aligners as instructed. Remember that removing your braces too frequently can cause tooth discoloration.

No Metal Bands Or Wires

Invisalign is a clear plastic alternative to traditional braces. Instead of using metal bands and wires, Invisalign uses transparent plastic to straighten teeth. This means that the aligner trays are virtually invisible to those looking at you. They can also be removed for brushing, flossing or special occasions. Additionally, aligners are more comfortable and less bulky than metal braces.

Invisalign can be customized for your needs, and the treatment timeframe could be as short as six months. This is because the technology has been used by over 10-million patients, allowing for it to work in an algorithmic way that can address a wide variety of teeth misalignment problems. It is important to keep in mind that the success of Invisalign is dependent on your wearing the trays 20 to 22 hours per day and following instructions from your doctor. Each new set will gradually shift your teeth to their desired positions if you are a diligent and conscientious patient. You will change to a new tray every one to two week and check in with your orthodontist or dentist to make sure you are on track for your dream smile.

Enhanced Oral Hygiene

Patients should adhere to a strict oral care regimen while wearing aligners. This includes brushing with fluoride toothpaste twice a day and flossing daily. They also recommend drinking plenty of water in order to keep the mouth hydrated. This will promote healthy saliva and help fight bacteria. Additionally, it is best to avoid eating or drinking anything that can stain your aligners, such as coffee, tea, red wine, and heavily pigmented sauces.

It is a great idea to use a water-flosser or an interdentalbrush to remove any trapped food particles between your teeth and underneath your aligners. They recommend that you rinse with an antimicrobial, antibacterial mouthwash. This will kill any remaining bacteria. You should also soak the aligners in Invisalign cleaning Crystals or a denture cleaner each time you remove them. This can help prevent odors and discoloration.

Lastly, you should schedule regular visits to our practice to ensure that your oral health remains on track during your Invisalign treatment. This will enable us to monitor your treatment, address any concerns prior to them becoming serious, and provide professional cleansings that remove any bacteria and plaque that may have accumulated between your teeth or in your aligners.

 A boost Of Self Confidence

Clear aligners are less noticeable than traditional metal braces because they do not draw attention towards the mouth or jaw. As teenagers see their smiles transformed by their aligners, their self-image will improve. They will be more confident when it comes to public speaking and social interactions. They will also be more likely to join social groups, clubs and extracurricular activities.

Correctly aligned teeth can help prevent dental problems like tooth decay, gum disease, and a misaligned bite. Moreover, straight teeth can prevent a lisp or other speech impediment. They can also prevent chewing and biting problems, and provide a better distribution of food in the mouth.

Invisalign can address common bite issues like overbites, underbites, and crossbites. Additionally, it can reduce discomforts such as headaches or jaw pain caused by these issues.

When teeth are crooked they may not fit together properly, resulting in an unattractive grin. Invisalign closes these gaps to give patients the bright and radiant smile they deserve.

A confident smile can be a great asset to you in professional settings such as job interviews and business meetings. It can boost a person’s self-esteem and help them build rapport with their colleagues and clients.

Many teens who receive Invisalign treatment have noticed that they are more likely to engage in social and extracurricular activities when they are wearing their aligners. They are less concerned about their appearance which can be an embarrassment to some people who wear traditional metal braces. They can also remove their aligners on special occasions such as proms and school pictures.

Enhanced Health

Invisalign is a great option for patients with gum disease because it can help manage the condition by reducing plaque buildup in the hard-to-reach places. It can also reduce the risk for periodontitis – a more severe form of gum disease which damages the tissue surrounding the teeth and jawbone. This can make chewing, eating, and speaking more difficult, which can make your life more difficult.

Invisalign, in addition to straighter teeth and improved health, can also help you maintain a healthy lifestyle by eliminating food restrictions. You can remove your aligners before you eat, allowing you to enjoy your favorite food. You can then clean your teeth as well as the trays, before putting them in. You can rinse your mouth after eating acidic or sugary foods to remove any food residue and prevent tooth decay.

The misaligned teeth and jaws can lead to an incorrect bite that can cause excessive wear on your teeth, jaw discomfort, and even TMD. Invisalign can correct these issues by promoting better tooth alignment and a more balanced jaw movement.

Invisalign offers a customized treatment plan based upon your goals and needs. During your consultation, we will use digital impressions to create a series of custom clear aligners that will shift your teeth into the desired positions. You will have to wear each set for a specified amount of time before you can move on to the next in the series. Invisalign offers a convenient and comfortable treatment option with amazing results.
