How Invisalign Works
Invisalign clear aligners are simple and easy to use. Customized for each patient, these virtually invisible trays are crafted to shift teeth using gentle, continuous pressure. Depending on the needs of a patient, teeth can be moved closer together to close gaps, moved apart to create necessary space, or even repositioned to ensure greater bite mobility.
Patients must wear trays for 20-22 hours each day. After 1-2 weeks of wear, the aligners are then swapped out for the next set until the series is complete. On average, Invisalign can produce results in 12-18 months; however, this will vary from patient to patient.
Benefits of Invisalign
To date, more than 17 million patients have straightened their teeth with Invisalign. While you might assume the biggest draw is the fact that the aligners are basically invisible, there is so much more to this innovative orthodontic treatment. Below, you’ll find a few other noteworthy reasons this smile-enhancing service is so widely loved!
There Aren’t Any Dietary Restrictions
While traditional braces come with a long list of dietary restrictions, Invisalign does not! There’s a simple reason for this: the aligners are removable. As a result, there isn’t the same risk of an orthodontic emergency.
With all of that said, we do recommend sticking to mostly healthy, well-balanced meals to prevent tooth decay from developing. It’s also a good idea to exercise caution with crunchy foods that could break an attachment.
Taking Care of Your Smile Is Easy
Another considerable benefit of Invisalign is that you don’t need to buy expensive dental hygiene products or adopt a cumbersome routine. Instead, remove your aligners, place them in their designated case, and brush your teeth as usual! Then, before you put your trays back on, use a damp, soft-bristled toothbrush and clear, mild dishwashing liquid to remove plaque, food particles, and other debris from the surface.
The Average Treatment Timeline Is Shorter
Traditional braces usually deliver the desired results in 2-3 years, but what if you want your dream smile sooner? If that’s the case, we have good news: the average treatment timeline with Invisalign is much shorter (around 12-18 months). If you are interested in getting a more precise estimate, then schedule a consultation with us so we can confirm that you’re a good candidate and get to work creating your custom treatment plan.
There Are Fewer Follow-Up Appointments
With Invisalign, you progress through portions of your treatment at home, so there’s no need for monthly adjustment appointments! Instead, you’ll come to our office every 6-8 weeks so we can monitor the movement of your teeth and make sure you’re on track. So, if you are a busy student, parent, or professional, don’t worry – clear aligner treatment is quite flexible and convenient!
The Aligners Are Metal-Free
Of course, one of the biggest perks of metal-free braces is how discreet they are. But that isn’t the only one. Since there aren’t bulky brackets and wires, the teeth-straightening process is also considerably more comfortable. In fact, the aligners are custom-made to fit the contours of your teeth perfectly, dramatically decreasing the chances of you experiencing soft tissue irritation or mouth sores.
