HOW INVISALIGN® WORKS
Our team will take a 3D scan and multiple photos of your smile, which will be sent to a lab that can use them to create a number of personalized plastic aligners. (The exact number will vary based on the kind of changes that need to be made.) Each aligner is worn for a predetermined period of time, which usually comes out to two weeks each for 20 to 22 hours a day. You’ll need to attend checkups every six weeks so that we can confirm you’re making progress.
Top Advantages of Choosing Invisalign Over Traditional Braces
Invisalign is typically considered an alternative to traditional metal braces. People who are candidates for Invisalign tend to favor the treatment for the various benefits that it offers, such as:
- Aesthetic Appeal: Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible, providing a discreet orthodontic treatment option.
- Removability: Aligners can be removed for eating, brushing, and special occasions, allowing for greater flexibility and maintaining oral hygiene.
- Comfort: Smooth and custom-fitted, Invisalign aligners typically cause less irritation than traditional braces.
- Fewer Dietary Restrictions: No restrictions on specific foods since aligners are removed during meals.
- Predictable Results: Advanced technology allows for precise treatment planning, offering a clearer understanding of the expected outcome.
- Shorter Treatment Time: In some cases, Invisalign may achieve desired results in a shorter time compared to traditional braces.
- Reduced Dental Visits: Typically requires fewer office visits for adjustments compared to traditional braces.
- Minimized Impact on Lifestyle: Invisalign aligners integrate seamlessly into daily life without affecting speech or appearance.
- Improved Oral Health: Easier cleaning with removable aligners reduces the risk of plaque buildup and gum disease.
