Whether you are a parent exploring orthodontic treatment for your teenager, or an adult who has put off treatment for years, Invisalign is an effective and discreet solution. Clear aligners are an inconspicuous, removable alternative to traditional metal braces. The entire series of aligners could take up to nine months or longer, depending on the amount of alignment needed. If you're hesitant to wear traditional wire-and-bracket orthodontic hardware but still want to straighten your teeth, clear aligners could be the right solution for you. Invisalign treatment is the process of wearing a series of clear, removable aligners that gradually straighten your teeth. No brackets and wires, and none of the restrictions that come with metal braces.
- Signing up for treatment from a dental school means you agree to let a dental student learn by doing your dental work.
- Invisalign treatment moves your teeth by applying gentle, constant force, but some people do feel temporary discomfort for the first few days of wearing a new set of aligners.
- If you lose or break an Invisalign aligner, immediately let your Invisalign Doctor know.
They have a lady called Becky who is the treatment Coordinator and she was especially lovely. Today I saw the hygienist who was kind and very thorough and then I had a filling removed and replaced by Atta with the assistance of Jess. They were both so lovely and they put me totally at ease from the start. I felt no pain throughout the treatment, even though it was a deep filling. Once your individualized treatment plan has been created, an impression of your teeth will be made to provide the blueprint for your customized Invisalign® teeth aligners. Lingual braces are similar to traditional braces, but they’re glued to the inner surfaces of the teeth, so they’re hidden from view.
How does Invisalign work?
Invisalign treatment starts with a consultation with an Invisalign-trained doctor. Your doctor will evaluate your smile and then map out a precise, customized digital treatment plan that showcases the step-by-step transformation of your smile. Once you approve your plan, your unique aligners will be created. You will wear each set of aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day, changing to a new set of aligners every 1 to 2 weeks, as directed by your doctor. Each set of aligners will gently and gradually shift your teeth into place, according to your treatment plan, until you reach your beautiful new smile.
Clear Correct Treatment Options
Your dentist creates your overall treatment plan and serves as your partner in getting the results you want. When we receive your Invisalign first set of aligners, you come to our office to check for fit and make any necessary adjustments. You will wear your aligners all day, every day, except when you eat, floss, and brush your teeth.
Traditional braces
Clear Correct invisible braces require a periodic change of the clear aligners. The treatment consists of a series of customized clear trays that have a blue dot each, which, when fades, must be changed. You can eat anything you want as long as you remove your Invisalign aligners before eating and clean your teeth thoroughly before wearing them back.
