Invisalign®

What is Invisalign®?

Invisalign® is a popular orthodontic treatment that uses clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth. Unlike traditional braces, which use metal wires and brackets, Invisalign aligners are made of a clear plastic material that is virtually invisible when worn.

This makes them a popular choice for those who want to straighten their teeth without the noticeable appearance of traditional braces.

It works by using a series of custom-made aligners, each of which moves the teeth slightly closer to the desired position. Patients typically wear each set of aligners for about two weeks before switching to the next set in the series.

The treatment typically lasts anywhere from 6 to 18 months, depending on the severity of the dental issue being treated.
This orthodontic treatment is effective for treating a variety of dental issues, including crowding, gaps between teeth, overbite, underbite, and crossbite.

It’s also a popular choice for adults who are looking for a discreet orthodontic option.

What are the benefits of Invisalign®?

•  Discreet appearance: One of the biggest advantages of Invisalign is that the aligners are virtually invisible when worn. This makes it a popular choice for those who don’t want to draw attention to their orthodontic treatment.

•  Comfort: Invisalign aligners are made of a smooth, comfortable material that is gentle on the gums and cheeks. Unlike traditional braces, there are no metal brackets or wires that can irritate the mouth or cause pain.

•  Removable: Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners can be removed for eating, brushing, and flossing. This makes it easier to maintain good oral hygiene during treatment.

•  Customizable: Invisalign aligners are custom-made for each patient based on their unique dental needs and goals. This allows for a more personalized and effective treatment experience.

•  Predictable results: Invisalign uses advanced computer technology to map out a precise treatment plan that takes into account the movements of each individual tooth. This allows for more predictable and consistent results.

•  Faster treatment time: In many cases, Invisalign treatment can be faster than traditional braces, with an average treatment time of 6-18 months.

•  No dietary restrictions: With Invisalign, patients can continue to eat their favorite foods without any restrictions, as the aligners can be removed while eating.

How it works & Step by step

Invisalign works by using a series of custom-made, clear plastic aligners that are designed to gently shift the teeth into the desired position over time. Invisalign is a simple and effective solution for straightening teeth without the use of traditional braces. By following the steps outlined above, the patient can achieve a straighter, healthier smile. Here’s a step-by-step explanation of the process:

1.

Consultation

The first step is to schedule a consultation with an Invisalign-trained dentist or orthodontist.

During this appointment, the dentist will examine the teeth and determine if Invisalign is a good option for the patient

2.

Treatment Plan

If the patient is a good candidate for Invisalign, the next step is to create a treatment plan.

Using advanced computer technology, the dentist will create a 3D model of the teeth and map out the movement of each tooth over the course of the treatment.

3.

Custom Aligners

Once the treatment plan has been created, custom-made aligners will be fabricated specifically for the teeth.

The aligners are made of a clear, medical-grade plastic that is comfortable to wear and nearly invisible when in place.

4.

Wearing Aligners

The patient will wear each set of aligners for about two weeks before switching to the next set in the series.

It’s important to wear the aligners for at least 20-22 hours each day to ensure the best results.

5.

Check-ups

Throughout the course of treatment, the patient will need to schedule regular check-ups with the dentist to monitor the progress and receive new sets of aligners as needed.

6.

Final Results

Over time, the aligners will gradually shift the teeth into the desired position.

Once the final set of aligners has been worn, the patient will have achieved the desired result and will no longer need to wear the aligners.

Who is a candidate for Invisalign®?

Invisalign is suitable for a wide range of dental issues and can be used by people of all ages. Here are some common characteristics of good candidates for Invisalign:

•  Good oral hygiene: To be a good candidate for Invisalign, patient’s should have good oral hygiene habits and be committed to maintaining them throughout the course of treatment. This includes regular brushing and flossing, as well as avoiding habits like chewing on hard objects that could damage the aligners.

•  Responsibility: Since the aligners are removable, it’s important to be responsible and make sure to wear them for the recommended 20-22 hours each day. If patient’s have a habit of losing or misplacing items, Invisalign may not be the best option for them.

•  Age: Invisalign can be used by people of all ages, from teenagers to seniors. However, some orthodontic issues may require more intensive treatment in childhood, so it’s important to consult with a dentist or orthodontist to determine the best course of action.

•  Motivation: Finally, it’s important to be motivated and committed to the treatment process. Invisalign is a long-term investment in the patient’s oral health and overall appearance, and requires a significant amount of time and dedication to achieve the desired result.
