Invisalign® clear aligners can help you correct issues like protruding, misaligned, or crooked teeth. It was developed to straighten teeth and has been used for over two decades. The aligner trays are made from transparent plastics and move teeth to a better position by constantly pushing them.
Each set of Invisalign aligner trays is custom-made for the patient, so they fit snugly over their teeth. These trays can deliver more precise forces on a patient’s teeth, so treatment times are often shorter than treatment times for braces. The average patient’s length of treatment with clear aligners is around six to 24 months. Issues that can be treated with Invisalign aligners include:
Clear aligners can be used to treat mild to moderate teeth alignment issues, but they are not effective on orthodontic problems caused by jaw abnormalities. People with such issues might have to explore other options, like braces.
Getting the alignment of teeth fixed with Invisalign starts with a dental consultation. The dentist evaluates the patient’s teeth and jaw to determine the severity of their alignment issues. X-rays might be used to help make this determination.
Next, digital images of the patient’s teeth are taken and used to create a 3D model. This model is used to design the patient’s customized treatment plan. This includes multiple sets of aligner trays that the patient gets at the start of their treatment. Each set moves the wearer’s teeth as far as they can, then another set takes over from that point. By the time that the patient is done with all of their aligner trays, their teeth should be at the targeted position.
Invisalign clear aligners are one of the most popular ways to straighten teeth. The most obvious benefit of straightening teeth with clear aligners is the hard-to-notice nature of the transparent trays used. It allows patients to continue to show off their smiles while their teeth move to a better alignment.
Clear aligners being removable is another benefit of Invisalign. This allows the wearer to eat whatever they like during their treatment because they simply have to take out their aligner to enjoy their meal. People who wear braces have to avoid foods like corn on a cob because they can damage the appliance and get stuck underneath the brackets and wires.
Patients who opt for clear aligners will not have to learn how to navigate around an appliance when brushing their teeth. They can take out their aligners and brush and floss like they have always done.
