What is Invisalign?
Benefits of Invisalign Over Traditional Braces
One of the most appealing aspects of Invisalign is its transparency. The clear aligners are virtually invisible when worn, allowing you to smile, speak, and interact socially without drawing attention to your orthodontic treatment. Unlike traditional braces with noticeable metal brackets and wires, Invisalign keeps your smile looking natural.
Invisalign aligners are removable, allowing you to take them out before eating or drinking anything other than water. This eliminates the food restrictions associated with braces, such as avoiding popcorn, nuts, or chewy candies. It also allows you to brush and floss normally, significantly reducing the risk of plaque buildup, gum disease, and tooth staining.
Invisalign aligners are custom-designed to fit snugly over your teeth without causing irritation or discomfort. There are no brackets or wires poking at your cheeks or gums, making them far more comfortable to wear, especially during sleep or physical activities.
Traditional braces typically require monthly appointments for adjustments, wire tightening, or repair of broken brackets. With Invisalign, aligners are provided in advance, and you only need to visit the office every six to eight weeks to monitor progress.
Invisalign treatment is digitally planned from start to finish using advanced 3D imaging. This allows patients to preview their projected results before treatment begins, providing high accuracy and predictability throughout the process.
Invisalign fits easily into busy lifestyles. Since emergencies like broken wires are not a concern and aligners are switched at home, patients enjoy more flexibility in managing their treatment around work, school, or travel.
Procedure of Invisalign
Your Invisalign journey begins with a comprehensive consultation. We evaluate your teeth, bite, and overall oral health. If Invisalign fits your case well, we will move forward with digital impressions and planning.
Instead of using traditional impression trays, we take precise 3D scans of your mouth using an intraoral scanner. These scans help us create a virtual model of your teeth. You can even preview your expected smile outcome using digital simulation software.
Based on your treatment plan, custom aligners are created to fit your teeth specifically. Each aligner is slightly different, encouraging gradual movement toward your final alignment.
You will wear each set of aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day, changing to a new set every one to two weeks. Check-in visits every six to eight weeks help us monitor your progress and ensure your teeth move as planned.
Once your treatment is complete, we will provide you with a custom retainer to help maintain your new smile. Wearing your retainer as instructed ensures your teeth do not shift back over time.
