How Invisalign Works
Invisalign can straighten out a smile using a customized sequence of clear aligners provided to the patient. Each pair of aligners is designed to fit snugly over the teeth and exert the constant pressure necessary to shift them into healthier positions, and the patient will have to wear each set at least twenty hours a day for about two weeks before switching to the next in their sequence. Each pair will pick the treatment up where the last one left off, and the patient may start seeing significant results in as little as a month. Most patients can complete their Invisalign treatments in twelve to eighteen months if they take excellent care of their teeth.
Who Invisalign Can Help
Invisalign can be an excellent solution to many mild to moderate cases of dental misalignment. A few issues the treatment can resolve include:
Crowded Teeth
Crowded teeth can be visually distracting and are harder to clean and easier to injure. Invisalign can help spread the teeth out so they sit evenly next to one another.
Gaps Between Teeth
Gaps between teeth can leave the gums vulnerable to injury and make it easier to develop accumulations of plaque and food debris. Invisalign can bring the teeth closer together to give the patient a healthier smile they will be proud to show off.
Bite Alignment
Malocclusions like overbites, underbites, open bites, and crossbites can make it difficult to smile proudly and set a patient up for oral injuries, hygiene difficulties, and jaw problems. Invisalign can address these issues so the patient can enjoy a more beautiful and functional smile.
The Benefits of Invisalign
Invisalign offers several impressive benefits that traditional braces cannot match. A few of these include:
- Short average treatment times – The process can be completed in as few as twelve to eighteen months in many cases.
- No dietary restrictions.
- Simple oral hygiene requirements.
- Infrequent and stress-free check-in appointments.
- No pointy metal parts that can irritate the soft tissues of the mouth.
