How Invisalign® Works
Patients who prefer not to wear braces during treatment may be more open to getting Invisalign. Removable and subtle, the trays are made out of clear plastic, making it difficult for others to notice. When worn for the recommended 20-22 hours a day, teeth will shift due to the continuous pressure applied. As a result, patients can see final results in as little as 12-18 months.
Who Invisalign Clear Aligners Can Help
Invisalign is highly versatile and can address a wide range of problems, including:
- Crowded Teeth: Invisalign can create necessary space so that teeth sit comfortably next to each other and allow for improved oral health and hygiene. When teeth no longer overlap, brushing and flossing become much easier and more effective.
- Gapped Teeth: Invisalign aligners can also bring teeth closer together when too much space exists. Food and bacteria can become trapped within a gap, but clear aligners can close the area to create a healthier, more aesthetically pleasing smile.
- Bite Misalignment: Regardless of whether you or your child has an overbite, underbite, crossbite, or open bite, Invisalign can reposition teeth and jaws to create a more harmonious bite. This reduces the risk of dental damage, TMJ, teeth grinding, sleep-disordered breathing, and many other conditions.
The Benefits of Invisalign
Invisalign offers many unique benefits that other orthodontic treatments do not, including:
- Clear, discreet aligners that often remain undetectable
- Easy-to-maintain aligners that only require a soft-bristle toothbrush, lukewarm water, and clear soap to keep them clean
- Flexibility by allowing patients to remove their trays before eating and drinking (anything but water)
- Improved oral health by making regular oral hygiene easier compared to braces
- Faster results, on average, than traditional braces
How is Invisalign Teen® Different?
Invisalign Teen works much like its traditional counterpart, but it has a few differences that make it more suitable for younger patients. With Invisalign Teen, aligners come with a blue indicator dot toward the back. The longer each tray is worn, the more the blue dot will fade. This is a good thing, as it allows you and Dr. Paul to determine whether your child is wearing their trays accordingly. Another aspect is that these can come with eruption tabs to guide new teeth into their proper place. Finally, Invisalign Teen includes complimentary replacement aligners if your child or teenager accidentally loses or damages their trays.
