What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a modern, virtually invisible way to straighten your teeth without the need for traditional metal braces.
It uses a series of custom-made, clear plastic aligners that gradually shift your teeth into the desired position. Invisalign is a successful and convenient method ti align your teeth with some practices suggesting that the success rate of Invisalign treatment is approximately 96%, indicating a failure rate of only 4%, or approximately 1 in every 25 patients.
It’s growing popularity is evidence of its effectiveness and convenience.
How does Invisalign work?
After an initial consultation and digital scan or impressions of your teeth, a 3D treatment plan is created specifically for you. This plan maps out the precise movements of your teeth. Based on this plan, a series of custom-made aligners are created.
You will wear each set of aligners for a specific period (usually one to two weeks), before moving on to the next set in the series. Over time, your teeth will gradually shift into their ideal alignment.
What are the benefits of choosing Invisalign over traditional braces?
Invisalign offers several advantages, including:
Virtually Invisible: The clear aligners are discreet, making them a popular choice for adults and teenagers concerned about appearance.
Removable: You can easily remove the aligners to eat, drink, brush, and floss normally, maintaining better oral hygiene.
Comfortable: With no metal wires or brackets, Invisalign aligners are generally more comfortable and less likely to irritate your gums and cheeks.
Fewer Appointments: While regular check-ups are still necessary, you typically have fewer appointments compared to traditional braces.
Predictable Results: The 3D treatment planning allows you to see a virtual representation of your final smile before you even begin treatment.
Am I a suitable candidate for Invisalign?
Invisalign is effective for treating a wide range of orthodontic issues, including:
• Crowded teeth
• Gaps between teeth
• Overbite
• Underbite
• Crossbite
• Open bite
How long does Invisalign treatment typically take?
The duration of Invisalign treatment varies depending on the complexity of your case. On average, treatment can last anywhere from 6 to 18 months. During your consultation, we will provide you with a more accurate estimate based on your specific needs.
How often do I need to wear the aligners?
For the best results, you should wear your Invisalign aligners for 20 to 22 hours per day. You should only remove them for eating, drinking (except for plain water), brushing, and flossing.
How do I care for my Invisalign aligners?
Cleaning your aligners is simple. You can rinse them with lukewarm water and gently brush them with a soft toothbrush. Avoid using hot water, as it can warp the plastic.
How much does Invisalign cost?
The cost of Invisalign treatment is comparable to traditional braces and can vary depending on the complexity of your case and the length of treatment. We will provide you with a detailed breakdown of the costs during your consultation and discuss available payment options.
What happens after my Invisalign treatment is complete?
Once your teeth have reached their desired position, you will typically need to wear a retainer to maintain your new smile. We will provide you with specific instructions on retainer wear.
