What issues does Invisalign fix?

While it has limitations, Invisalign treatment can address numerous orthodontic issues. The custom-made aligners apply controlled pressure on your teeth, correcting mild to complex problems.

The following are common orthodontic issues that Invisalign can resolve.

  • Large spaces between teeth
  • Crooked or misaligned teeth
  • Overbites
  • Overjets
  • Crossbites
  • Open bites
  • Overlapping or overcrowded teeth

Am I a suitable candidate for Invisalign?

Your dentist is the best person to advise whether clear aligners are suitable for your smile. We do this after examining your teeth, jaws, and overall health with digital dental imaging tools. Candidates for clear aligners must have good oral health (no cavities or gum disease) and mild to moderate orthodontic issues. Severe dental problems like extreme overbites may require other orthodontic treatments or surgery.

What can I expect from Invisalign treatment?

After a consultation, we’ll digitally scan your teeth and feed your photos into 3D imaging software that creates a personalized treatment plan. With this fantastic Invisalign technology, the dentist will predict when and how your teeth will move at every treatment stage. The simulated treatment plan allows you to view your results before the treatment.

Our Invisalign lab uses your treatment plan to custom-make your aligners. Many patients need 18-30 aligners, although you may require more or less depending on the complexity of your case. When you receive your aligners, you must wear them for at least 22 hours daily. The two-hour break allows for mealtime and teeth-cleaning sessions. The aligners move your teeth incrementally, so you switch to a new set every two weeks until you achieve the desired outcomes.

The average Invisalign treatment time is 9-18 months. Once your aligners come off, we’ll give you a retainer to keep your brand-new smile intact. A retainer prevents your teeth from shifting back to their old positions. This final step is as important as the alignment process itself, as it solidifies the transformation you’ve worked hard to achieve.

Is Invisalign worth it?

Invisalign is a metal-free orthodontic solution for anyone insecure with traditional braces. Teens and adults alike love Invisalign aligners because of the following benefits.

  • Discreetness: The aligners are created from see-through plastic. Once worn, no one will know you are undergoing orthodontic treatment.
  • Removable convenience: The aligners can be removed at will, allowing you to eat all your favorite foods and brush and floss your teeth without limitations.
  • Comfort: Invisalign aligners are smooth and gentle on your cheeks and gums, ensuring a comfortable treatment from start to finish.
  • Fewer dental visits: Since there are no wires or brackets that require adjustments, your visits to the Invisalign dentist are less frequent
