If you are considering a less visible method to straighten your teeth, Invisalign® clear aligners offer a modern solution that combines convenience and efficiency. Unlike traditional braces that use metal brackets and wires, Invisalign treatment utilizes a sequence of custom-made, computer-generated aligners that fit snugly over your teeth. These aligners are crafted from a smooth, BPA-free plastic that is designed to be both comfortable and virtually invisible when worn.
The process begins with a detailed consultation at Elite Cosmetic & Family Dentistry. Here, our dentist and team use advanced imaging technology to create a precise 3D model of your teeth. This model helps us design a treatment plan tailored specifically to your orthodontic needs. Each aligner is worn for about two weeks before moving on to the next in the series, gradually shifting your teeth into their desired position. The exact duration of your treatment will depend on the specific adjustments needed, but many patients achieve their new smile within 12 to 18 months.
Invisalign aligners are not only discreet but also highly convenient. They are removable, allowing you to eat, brush and floss with ease. This flexibility helps maintain good oral hygiene throughout your treatment, as there are no brackets or wires to trap food or plaque. However, for optimal results, it is important to wear the aligners for 20 to 22 hours per day.
Invisalign treatment is suitable for addressing a variety of orthodontic issues, including crowded teeth, gaps and certain bite problems like overbites, underbites, open bites and crossbites. While Invisalign aligners are popular among adults seeking a less noticeable orthodontic treatment, they are also an excellent option for teens who are self-conscious about their appearance.
