What is Invisalign Treatment?
Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment option that uses custom-made transparent aligners to progressively align your teeth into straight teeth. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign employs a series of transparent plastic aligners that aligners grip and are virtually invisible when worn.
Differences Between Invisalign and Conventional Retainers
The main difference between Invisalign braces and normal braces is their appearance and comfortable option, with Invisalign aligners offering more comfort than metal wires.
They are:
- Virtually invisible
- Removable for meals and oral hygiene
- More comfortable than metal wires
- Precisely adapted to your teeth
This innovative approach enables great corrective treatment while preserving your appearance and everyday comfort.
What Are the Advantages of Invisalign Treatment?
Invisalign treatment offers many advantages, making it an increasingly popular option for those looking to improve their smile.
Comfort and Discretion
Invisalign transparent aligners are made of smooth, transparent plastic, allowing for control of tooth movements without irritating sensitive teeth, gums, or cheeks. Their discreet design allows you to smile with confidence during the dental treatment.
Easy to Clean and Maintain
Unlike conventional preventive braces, Invisalign aligners are removable, making brushing and flossing much easier. This feature promotes better oral health throughout the adapted treatment plan.
No Dietary Restrictions
No more no-food lists! With Invisalign, you can remove your aligners to eat, allowing you to enjoy all your favourite foods without fear.
Better Look Than Wire
The absence of visible metal wires makes Invisalign an aesthetically superior option, particularly popular with teenagers and mature adults, often resulting in a faster treatment process.
How Does Invisalign Treatment Work?
The Invisalign process is a methodical, personalized approach to resolving any dental misalignment. Here are the steps involved in this orthodontic treatment.
1. Initial Consultation
The first step begins with an initial consultation with a qualified orthodontist, your doctor for the Invisalign journey. During this comprehensive examination, the specialized dentist will assess your teeth and discuss your goals to help you make an informed decision on whether Invisalign is the right solution for you.
2. Creating Custom Removable Shells
If Invisalign is recommended, a 3D scan of your teeth will be taken to create an orthodontic treatment plan. This plan will be used to fabricate your first tray of aligners. This custom treatment plan will be designed to gradually move your teeth into their correct position.
3. Details on Wearing Transparent Shells and Regular Changes
You will receive a series of clear aligners to be worn for approximately 20 to 22 hours per day. Each of the new aligners will be worn for a couple of weeks before moving on to the next, allowing gradual, controlled tooth alignment.
Who is Invisalign Treatment for?
Invisalign is a versatile solution for a wide range of people and dental problems.
Types of Dental Problems That Invisalign Can Correct
Invisalign treatment can effectively treat:
- Gapped teeth
- Overlapping teeth
- Bite problems (overbite, underbite, cross bite)
- Misaligned teeth
The Flexibility of Invisalign for Adolescents and Adults
Whether you’re an appearance-conscious teenager or an adult looking for a discreet solution, Invisalign offers the flexibility you need. General dentists can tailor treatment patient to patient, making invisible orthodontics accessible to all.
How Long Does Invisalign Treatment Last?
On average, an Invisalign treatment lasts between 12 and 18 months. However, simple cases can be resolved in as little as 6 months, while more complex situations can take up to 24 months.
The Importance of Regularity and Compliance with Recommendations
The success and duration of your treatment depend largely on your commitment. Wearing your clear aligner trays for 20 – 22 hours a day and scrupulously following your dentist’s instructions are essential to achieving the desired results on schedule.
What Results Can You Expect?
With rigorous compliance, you can expect a significant improvement in the alignment of your teeth and smiles. Results are often visible within the first few months, with a complete transformation at the end of treatment.
