Orthodontic treatment (Invisalign)
Invisalign - A very popular orthodontic treatment which focuses on straightening your teeth over a series of clear plastic aligners that are custom designed and fitted to you. Overall the treatment is fast, comfortable and a convenient alternative for straightening your teeth, since the aligners are virtually invisible and require no obstructive metal appliances.
What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign aligners are made of thin, clear plastic. The aligners are uniquely created for each patient at an off-site Invisalign lab. Your treatment plan will consist of a series of aligners designed to gradually shift your teeth into proper alignment. Every two weeks, you’ll discard your current aligner and move to the next. Unlike traditional braces, you will have the freedom to remove your aligners whenever you want. Simply take them off for brushing and flossing, when eating, or for special events. However, expect to wear the aligners for 20-22 hours a day, to stay on track with your treatment plan.
Many patients report forgetting that they are wearing aligners, because they are comfortable and unnoticeable. You will not have to endure poking metal wires and brackets or painful rubber bands. Even better, you will not have adjustments that cause a sore mouth for days.
Why Should You Choose Invisalign?
Crooked teeth and wide spaces between teeth can make a person feel self-conscious when speaking and smiling. It’s not unusual for dental imperfections to cause embarrassment, to the extent that you may try not to smile. If this describes how you feel, you probably do not want to wear unattractive wire braces for years to improve your smile. Invisalign offers an appealing alternative, with similar results.
​
Many patients invest in Invisalign because of its inconspicuous appearance. Your peers and coworkers will hardly notice your aligners, if at all. At the end of treatment, which usually lasts 12-18 months, you can expect drastic improvements to your smile. Your straight, perfectly aligned teeth will boost your confidence in all aspects of daily life – at home, work, and play.
