What are Invisalign Clear Aligners?

Invisalign is a system that uses clear aligner trays made from BPA-free plastic to slowly move your teeth into a straighter position. They are made to fit perfectly around your teeth to ensure they stay secure and work properly.

Invisalign Treatment Process 

The Invisalign process is simple. 

  •     The dentist will examine your teeth and make a personalized treatment plan based on your unique needs. 
  •     Digital scans will be taken of your mouth as well as a mold of your mouth. This mold will be sent to a dental laboratory to create your aligner trays.
  •     When your aligner trays are ready, you will wear them for 22+ hours a day. 
  •     Every 2-3 weeks you will switch out your teeth aligner trays to continuously move your teeth into the desired location.
  •     After 12-18 months, you can enjoy your new smile!

How long does Invisalign take?

The length of your Invisalign treatment time will depend on the condition of your mouth and how closely you follow your treatment plan. Most people can expect to wear their clear aligners for 12-18 months. Not wearing your aligners as recommended could mean longer treatment times.

Invisalign vs. Braces

There’s no question that metal braces are an effective option when it comes to correcting an array of orthodontic concerns, including complicated ones. Braces do have their setbacks, though including:

  •     Easily breaking, especially when you eat certain foods, such as chewy bread or popcorn
  •     Being noticeable
  •     Taking a long time to achieve results (usually around two years)
  •     Requiring lifestyle changes, including what you eat and how you brush your teeth

Invisalign is equally effective at resolving most orthodontic concerns, including overcrowding, gapped teeth, and overbites. Even better, Invisalign clear aligners are discreet, convenient, and often work faster than braces.

How to care for teeth while using Invisalign

While you don’t have to alter your diet or lifestyle while using Invisalign, it’s important to practice good oral hygiene habits to ensure your teeth stay beautiful and healthy during and after your orthodontic treatment. Here are some tips to keep you smiling brightly:
