No one wants to have crooked or misaligned teeth. They adversely affect the smile and confidence. Fortunately, it is possible to fix misaligned teeth.
Traditionally, in order to straighten teeth, dentists recommended dental braces. Even these days, dentists and orthodontics use dental braces to straighten teeth. While dental braces certainly fix misaligned teeth, they are just too conspicuous to make anyone wearing them feel self-conscious. Further, when wearing dental braces, it becomes very difficult to carry out routine oral care, i.e., brushing and flossing.
A great alternative to dental braces, however, is available these days to straighten teeth! It is Invisalign®. The Invisalign® treatment is not only virtually invisible but an easy and comfortable way to straighten teeth. The system uses removable sets of clear plastic trays, also called aligners, to correct misaligned teeth. They can fix crooked, crowded, and misaligned teeth quickly.
The Invisalign® aligners are made of bio-friendly, transparent material that makes them virtually invisible, unlike dental braces, which comprise of metal wires. The Invisalign® aligners are designed in such a way that they put a gentle pressure on the teeth, which is just enough to shift them into correct position over the course of time. This way, no discomfort is experienced and makes the teeth straightening treatment safe and comfortable.
How Invisalign® Treatment Works
The Invisalign® aligners work by shifting teeth gently and slowly into position, eventually straightening them flawlessly for a beautiful smile. Your Invisalign-trained dentist will first discuss the needs and evaluate whether or not Invisalign® treatment is right for you.
If the treatment is suitable for you, then your dentist will scan your mouth in order to create precise 3D images of your teeth. Based on the 3D images of your teeth, sets of custom-made Invisalign® aligners will be made. You will need to wear these aligners for 20-22 hours a day for approximately two weeks. Thereafter, you will need to replace the set with a new one and continue for another couple of weeks. This process keeps on repeating until you achieve the desired results. You may need to see your dentist every six weeks so that he/she can monitor your progress.
The Invisalign® treatment may take up to a year! The duration, however, entirely depends on the degree of correction or straightening that is required.
The Advantages of Invisalign® Treatment
The Invisalign® aligners are practically invisible. Since they are inconspicuous, you can keep on wearing them without anyone noticing. The material of the aligners is of high-quality, so they are comfortable to wear too.
The Invisalign® aligners are easily removable as well; hence, you can remove them at your own convenience to enjoy your favorite foods or drinks before putting them on again. The aligners are easy to put back on too!
When going through Invisalign® treatment, it is easy to carry out routine oral care, unlike in the case of wearing dental braces. Just remove the aligners, do the usual brushing and flossing, and wear the aligners back – it is pretty straightforward.
