What Are Invisalign Clear Aligners?
Invisalign clear aligners are an innovative orthodontic technology our office uses to align and straighten your teeth. Invisalign treatment uses a series of custom-made, clear aligners to apply pressure on your teeth and move them into their desired positions gradually. You'll wear each set of aligners for about two weeks before moving on to the next set in the series. Unlike traditional braces, which use metal brackets and wires, Invisalign aligners are made of clear, medical-grade plastic. Their transparent appearance makes them almost unnoticeable, allowing individuals to undergo treatment without the noticeable appearance of braces.
What Do Invisalign Clear Aligners Treat?
Invisalign clear aligners offer a versatile orthodontic solution for addressing a variety of misalignment issues. Our dedicated team is committed to providing the necessary care to help you achieve positive results. With our dentist's expertise in clear aligner treatment, we can effectively address mild to moderate cases of:
- Crowded Teeth happen when the jaw lacks space for proper alignment. This can cause the teeth to become cramped, overlapped, or twisted.
- Overbites are when the upper teeth protrude over the lower teeth.
- Open Bites happen when the front and bottom teeth slant outward, preventing the front teeth from touching when the mouth is closed.
- Crossbites are misaligned jaws. They cause malocclusion, which prevents the teeth from aligning when biting.
- Underbites occur when the lower front teeth stick out over the upper front teeth.
- Unwanted Gaps are noticeable spaces between teeth. They can affect your smile's look and function.
Our Invisalign Treatment Process
Our doctor begins your Invisalign treatment by thoroughly assessing your current oral health and understanding your goals for your smile during a consultation. Once you are deemed a candidate for invisible braces, we take comprehensive scans of your teeth and discuss what to expect while wearing your Invisalign clear aligners. These scans are then sent to a trusted lab, where your aligners are made.
Once your Invisalign clear aligners are returned, you will come back to our office to pick them up. Our office will discuss proper wear and care, as well as what to expect each week with your new aligners. You will return every few weeks to pick up your next set of aligners and allow our dentist to track your progress.
Maintaining Your Smile with Vivera® Retainers
Following your treatment, it's likely you'll need a retainer to maintain the alignment of your teeth. Our dentist offers Vivera, a custom-made retainer designed to fit your smile perfectly. Made with the same material as your Invisalign treatment trays, transitioning to Vivera is seamless. While you won't need to wear it as frequently as your Invisalign aligner trays, following our dentist's guidance on wearing your retainer is important to preserve your new straight, aligned smile.
Invisalign Treatment FAQ
At Lapalco Family Dental, we understand you may have questions regarding Invisalign treatment. Our knowledgeable team is happy to answer any questions you may have to make your journey with clear aligners a seamless experience. Common questions patients have about Invisalign clear aligners are:
No! Because Invisalign clear aligners are removable, you can take them out to enjoy eating as you normally would. However, it is important to properly clean your teeth before placing your retainers back in your mouth after eating.
During Invisalign treatment, regular office visits are typically scheduled every four to six weeks. These appointments are essential for our dentist to monitor your progress and ensure your treatment progresses as planned.
It is essential to wear your aligners for at least twenty- two hours a day. Failure to properly wear your aligners could result in an increased treatment length and lack of results.
