How Invisalign Works
Traditional braces move the teeth into their desired position by fusing brackets onto the surfaces of each tooth and using a wire to add pressure onto certain parts of your smile. Meanwhile, Invisalign uses a series of clear aligners to shift your pearly whites into their proper position. Each set is worn for at least 22 hours a day for a predetermined amount of time, usually about two weeks. Throughout your treatment, you’ll visit our office regularly for checkups to ensure everything is moving correctly.
Indications for Invisalign
Invisalign has become an incredibly popular solution in recent years because it can address multiple orthodontic issues. Some of those are:
Crowded Teeth
Overcrowding is one of the most common concerns that patients have. Not only can it negatively impact the look of your smile, but it can make it difficult to stay on top of your oral hygiene. Fortunately, Invisalign clear aligners can guide your teeth into their properly aligned positions.
Gaps Between Teeth
Having gaps in your smile doesn’t just look unsightly. It can increase your risk of certain oral health issues, like decay and gum disease, because food particles can easily become trapped in these spaces. Invisalign solves the problem by gradually closing these gaps.
Bite Alignment
Underbites, overbites, and crossbites are different types of bite issues. If they’re not addressed, they can lead to premature wear, chronic teeth grinding, and other complications. The good news is that Invisalign is more than capable of fixing bite problems!
Benefits of Invisalign
Over the past two decades, Invisalign has helped millions of patients transform their smiles into one they’re proud of. It continues to be a popular solution because of its many benefits, such as:
- Shorter average timeline
- Virtually invisible appearance
- Easier maintenance
- No dietary restrictions
