What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a discreet and comfortable orthodontic solution designed to fix minor to moderate bite and alignment issues for adults and responsible teens. It uses a series of clear aligners without the need for bulky wires and brackets, which helps you maintain your smile's aesthetics during treatment. The clear aligners are less intrusive and are easily removable for eating and dental hygiene.
Our dentist will work with you to ensure you fully understand the Invisalign treatment process and what to expect while wearing your clear aligners. We'll also show you how to care for them and your teeth during your treatment and the steps to take to achieve maximum results. You will need to wear your Invisalign aligners for at least 22 hours a day to achieve progress in your treatment. Typically, you can expect the treatment to last between 12-18 months, depending on how complex your issue is.
What Can Invisalign Treat?
Invisalign is a proven treatment option for minor and moderate bite and alignment issues. The custom trays are designed to fit your smile and exert precise pressure to gradually shift your teeth into their ideal location. You'll need to change to the next aligner in your custom series when instructed by our dentist to achieve the results you desire. Some of the common issues Invisalign can correct include:
- Crooked teeth
- Unwanted gaps
- Crowded teeth
- Underbites
- Overbites
Benefits of Invisalign
Aside from personalization benefits and convenience, there are several reasons to choose Invisalign. Here are some of the most common benefits of this innovative orthodontic treatment:
Aesthetics: Invisalign is a discreet treatment that preserves your natural aesthetics. Wearing these aligners won't affect your appearance, and people often won't even notice your treatment. The trays are designed to be practically invisible and almost indistinguishable from your smile.
Efficiency: Invisalign provides a shorter treatment time as long as you follow our treatment guidelines. Although the exact treatment time can vary depending on your unique situation, Invisalign can address issues like gaps, crooked teeth, and overcrowding effectively.
Convenience: You can quickly remove your clear aligners for easy cleaning with minimal changes to your diet. You can also brush and floss normally regardless of what you consume.
Comfort: Invisalign has no sharp metal edges that could lead to injury or irritation, and the aligners provide a comfortable fit.
Invisalign FAQs
If you're just beginning to explore the idea of Invisalign treatment, you likely have several questions about it. Our team is happy to discuss your questions and help you understand everything you'd like to know about this orthodontic treatment option. Some common questions we receive include:
Invisalign clear aligners are highly effective for adults and responsible teens who want a nearly invisible, more comfortable straightening method. Many people enjoy the comfort and convenience they offer over traditional braces. However, traditional braces may still be the better option for people with severe or complex bite issues, or younger children and teens who might not stick to the requirements for wearing the aligners.
No, Invisalign isn't painful. However, it can leave your teeth feeling sore during the initial treatment stages. Just like traditional orthodontic treatments, your teeth may feel a little uncomfortable when you first change to a new aligner set as your teeth adjust to the added pressure. This sensitivity is usually mild and should go away within 2-3 days.
Yes. In order to ensure the longevity of your newly straightened teeth, you'll need to wear a retainer. We offer the Vivera® retainers once your treatment is completed. This comfortable retainer is made using the same materials as your Invisalign aligners, allowing for a seamless transition.
