Invisalign® for convenient teeth straightening
Below is a quick overview of Invisalign® and how it can be convenient for individuals needing their teeth straightened. This information can be helpful to those who are considering different options.
The treatment process
The Invisalign® treatment process is unlike any other teeth-straightening method. General dentists have begun recommending it a lot more, especially for individuals that strictly have crowding or crookedness issues. Recent technological advances have also made it possible for minor bite issues to be addressed. However, moderate to severe bite issues may require traditional braces, as well as other additions, like headgear.
Invisalign® starts out with an evaluation by a general dentist. From there, if the dentist determines that the treatment is possible, scans will be taken of the entire mouth. The scans will be sent to a dental lab where the Invisalign® aligners are custom-created. After a few weeks, the individual can start the process of Invisalign®. Every few weeks, appointments will be required to check progression. Additionally, the dentist will provide the next aligner in the series. On average, Invisalign® takes anywhere from six months to two years.
The convenience
Invisalign® offers a lot of convenient benefits to the treatment process. Outlined below are some of the most notable.
- Invisalign® aligners are removable, which makes the process flexible
- Because the aligners are removable, oral hygiene is a lot easier to achieve, which ultimately leads to better oral health
- There are not any tightening sessions required as is the case with traditional braces
- Social events or photos can be done as normal without worry because Invisalign® aligners are removable
- The entire series of aligners is printed at the start of treatment, which means appointments with the dentist are more flexible
Other things to know
Although Invisalign® does offer convenience for the wearer, it is important to keep in mind that the results of the treatment depend heavily on discipline. Because the aligners can be removed at any time by the wearer, it can be easy to get into the habit of not wearing them at all times. Of course for certain circumstances like eating, brushing, and special events, Invisalign® can be taken out. However, outside of this, the aligners should be worn for at least 22 hours a day.
Talk to a general dentist
