WHAT IS INVISALIGN®?

In contrast to conventional teeth alignment methods like metal braces, Invisalign presents a distinctive approach. Utilizing nearly invisible aligners and completely removable trays devoid of cumbersome wires and brackets, Invisalign offers a discreet solution. These aligners have no impact on dietary choices or brushing routines, and their removable nature permits uninterrupted enjoyment of favorite foods while maintaining dental hygiene during treatment.

Invisalign employs these transparent aligners to gradually adjust tooth positioning. Throughout the Invisalign treatment process, patients regularly transition to new sets of aligner trays, facilitating continual progress towards achieving the desired tooth alignment.

BENEFITS OF INVISALIGN ALIGNERS

Traditional metal braces, although effective, often come with discomfort and an unsightly appearance. As an adult considering orthodontic treatment, you might hesitate due to concerns about the visible nature of traditional teeth straightening methods. Invisalign aligners, however, eliminate this concern by utilizing nearly invisible aligners, offering a contemporary alternative that promises efficient and rapid results while ensuring convenience throughout the treatment process.

Invisalign aligners are adept at addressing various common orthodontic issues, including gaps between teeth, overcrowding, underbites, and overbites. While Invisalign braces are suitable for many cases, more severe orthodontic conditions may necessitate alternative treatments.

HOW DOES INVISALIGN WORK?

After your consultation for Invisalign braces, we initiate your treatment process with digital molding. Utilizing 3D digital imaging, photography, and X-rays, we create an exact replica of your teeth and mouth. With this precise data, the Invisalign laboratory crafts your personalized Invisalign invisible aligners. These trays are designed to gradually adjust your teeth according to your customized treatment plan, meticulously curated by our dentists. This plan ensures that each tooth is adjusted at the appropriate time, in accordance with the predetermined stages.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR INVISALIGN TO WORK?

The duration of Invisalign treatment varies depending on individual cases. On average, patients typically begin noticing results within the first few weeks of wearing their Invisalign invisible aligners. The entire treatment process generally spans between 12 to 18 months from start to finish. While some cases may experience quicker results, others might require a slightly longer duration. During your initial Invisalign consultation, we will review your proposed treatment plan, and your dentist will provide an estimate regarding the expected duration of your treatment.

IS INVISALIGN PAINFUL?

In contrast to traditional braces, which rely on tightened metal wires and brackets, Invisalign’s invisible aligners employ gentle pressure to gradually shift teeth into their desired positions. As your teeth adjust, you’ll receive new sets of invisible aligner trays regularly, which may initially feel tighter as you adapt to the changes. However, any initial discomfort typically diminishes over time. As you approach the conclusion of your Invisalign treatment, adjustments in the aligners become more manageable, marking significant progress in your journey with Invisalign braces.

ARE THERE ANY DISADVANTAGES TO INVISALIGN?

Like any treatment, Invisalign may not be suitable for everyone, and there are potential drawbacks to consider. One significant drawback of Invisalign braces is the recommendation to wear the invisible aligners for approximately 20-22 hours per day, removing them only for eating and brushing your teeth. However, compared to traditional metal braces, which are fixed until the desired tooth alignment is achieved, this requirement is relatively minor. Additionally, Invisalign braces may not be suitable for more severe orthodontic issues, and alternative treatments may be suggested during your initial consultation.

HOW OFTEN DO YOU CHANGE INVISALIGN ALIGNERS?

The Invisalign aligners, which are the transparent trays utilized during your Invisalign treatment, are replaced every 1-2 weeks or as advised by our dental team. However, the specific interval between changing the Invisalign braces varies based on your individual case and the duration of aligner wear per day.

Failure to adhere to the recommended 20-22 hours of daily wear can slow down your treatment progress, resulting in longer intervals between changing your Invisalign aligners. Teeth requiring more significant adjustment may also necessitate additional time to move into the desired position.

DOES INVISALIGN WORK?

Invisalign stands as a widely favored teeth alignment solution, evident in its extensive use with over 14 million individuals worldwide having undergone Invisalign treatment. Recent research underscores the efficacy of the invisible aligners employed in Invisalign, showcasing comparable effectiveness to traditional metal braces for addressing moderate orthodontic concerns. With an average success rate of 96%, Invisalign proves highly effective in treatments like closing tooth gaps, correcting crossbites, and achieving realignment. In summary, treatment with Invisalign aligners yields tangible results.
