One of the newest ways to enhance your look is by straightening your teeth with Invisalign. This innovative orthodontic solution allows you to achieve a straighter smile without the need for unsightly or embarrassing traditional braces. Invisalign helps improve your smile while allowing you to maintain your eating habits, oral care routine, and self-esteem throughout the treatment process.
Description
Invisalign treatment involves a series of customized plastic aligners designed to fit over your teeth, gradually shifting them into better positions. Before your treatment even begins, you’ll be able to view your treatment plan on a computer, and your dentist will monitor your progress during regular checkups to ensure everything is progressing as expected. The clear aligners are popular because they are nearly invisible, can be easily removed for cleaning and eating, and are comfortable, with no irritation from wires or brackets.
Correction
Invisalign is effective for correcting a range of dental issues, such as crowded teeth, gaps, overbites, underbites, or crossbites. After completing your treatment, your dentist may recommend wearing retainers to help maintain your teeth in their new, corrected positions.
Process
After choosing a dentist for your Invisalign treatment, an initial examination will help determine if Invisalign is the right solution for your needs. If you’re a good candidate, your dentist will take molds of your teeth and create a 3D image to plan your treatment. This will also give you an idea of how your smile will improve at each stage of the process.
Maintenance
Cleaning your Invisalign aligners is simple. After removing them from your mouth, gently brush and rinse them. You can continue with your regular oral hygiene routine before placing the aligners back in your mouth.
If you’re interested in transforming your smile, Invisalign offers an effective, comfortable, and discreet option.
