How Invisalign Works
Invisalign consists of a personalized series of thin plastic aligners that are completely transparent. The trays fit snugly over your teeth and exert a gentle pressure on them to shift them into a more ideal position. Each set of aligners is custom-made to straighten a small section of your smile until all of your pearly whites are perfectly straight and even. You’ll wear each set for about two weeks before moving on to the next one in the series.
Instead of relying on noticeable brackets and wires to reposition your teeth, the clear aligners are so discreet that no one should be able to tell you’re even wearing them. Additionally, most patients finish Invisalign treatment in 12 to 18 months, which is a fraction of that traditional braces take.
Benefits of Invisalign
In addition to the cosmetic advantages and quicker average treatment time, Invisalign offers many benefits when compared to metal braces, such as:
- The brackets and wires of conventional braces are notorious for irritating the gums, tongue, and inner cheeks. By contrast, Invisalign’s smooth plastic aligners are designed with your comfort in mind.
- You can easily remove your aligners to eat, drink, brush, floss, or even for special events like a job interview or a wedding. Just remember to place them back in afterward!
- You won’t have to see your dentist nearly as often for adjustments of brackets and wires, which can be uncomfortable and time-consuming. Instead, you’ll see us every few weeks for brief appointments throughout your treatment, during which we’ll evaluate your progress and hand you the next few sets of aligners.
How to Know Whether Invisalign Is Right for You
Invisalign is an excellent solution for adults and older teenagers who wish to straighten their teeth without others noticing. Although more serious orthodontic issues – like significantly rotated teeth – are often best treated with traditional braces, Invisalign can address a variety of problems, including:
- Overcrowded teeth
- Gapped teeth
- Generally crooked teeth
- Mild overbite, underbite, or crossbite
Correcting these issues not only makes your smile more attractive, but it can make cleaning your teeth much easier. This greatly reduces your risk of developing cavities.
The best way to know for sure whether Invisalign clear braces are right for you is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Hung. He will gladly discuss your smile goals and determine whether Invisalign is the ideal way for you to achieve them.
