Invisalign

Many options are available if you are considering getting clear aligners to straighten your teeth or correct your bite. Invisalign is at the forefront of cosmetic dentistry technology. Unlike the more traditional braces or retainers, Invisalign is a virtually invisible method of straightening your teeth. You will be fitted with removable, see-through aligners specifically crafted to fit your teeth. The aligners will gradually cause your teeth to shift their position slightly over two weeks. Every two weeks, you will change the aligners for a new set that will cause your teeth to move a little more. As the treatment progresses over the following weeks and months, your teeth will straighten into their proper positions, as your dental practitioner prescribes. There are many options for ways to transform your smile. No other treatment, though, offers the combination of comfort, effectiveness, and being virtually invisible that Invisalign can offer. Invisalign: the best option.

What Types Of Dental Issues Can Invisalign Correct?

Invisalign can be used for various purposes, including crowding and spacing issues and some mild and moderate bite issues.

It can be used to treat the following dental issues:

Some types of overbite, underbite, and crossbite issues

Crowded teeth

While still limited, research suggests that Invisalign may be more effective for some issues than others.

Invisalign Treatment Options

Invisalign treatment includes:

Invisalign Full

Full Invisalign treatment is the most standard treatment option that delivers outstanding results and focuses on treating the entire mouth. It includes unlimited aligners and is meant to correct malocclusions. These malocclusions might involve gaps, crowding, an open bite, a crossbite, an overbite, or some combination of these issues.

Invisalign Lite

Invisalign Lite offers a shorter treatment option suitable for mild malocclusion cases. It includes up to 14 aligners.

Invisalign Express 10

This is a more affordable option for less complicated ortho treatments. It is appropriate for lesser malocclusion issues like crowding and spacing and may be helpful as a primary treatment for restorative or cosmetic procedures. Invisalign Express 10 includes up to 10 sets of aligners.

Invisalign Express 5, Invisalign i7

This is the least expensive option for minor crowding and spacing issues. Express 5 provides up to five sets of trays. Invisalign i7 offers up to seven aligners.

Many see their provider every six to eight weeks or so for checkups. Patients who have questions or concerns between checkups are encouraged to call their doctor to discuss their concerns.

After completing treatment, patients are strongly advised to wear a retainer to maintain their teeth alignment.

Advantages of Invisalign Over Traditional Braces

When considering your orthodontic treatment options, it’s essential to know the advantages of Invisalign over traditional braces.

Invisalign are clear braces. Most people won’t notice you’re wearing them.
The movement of your teeth is more precise with Invisalign than traditional metal braces.
It’s easier to maintain good oral health with Invisalign since you are able to remove the aligners when you eat, brush your teeth, and floss.
These aligners are much more comfortable than metal braces.
Invisalign saves you time because unlike braces that require more frequent office visits to change the arch wire and make adjustments, you will have fewer checkups with Invisalign. Treatment time is often shorter, too.
