What Is Invisalign®?
Invisalign is a series of clear plastic aligners that are custom-crafted for your unique smile. Made from patented SmartTrack material, the aligners are designed to replicate the results of traditional braces without the need for brackets or wires. Instead, Invisalign works by gradually and gently shifting your teeth into their ideal alignment by pressure exerted from the snugly fit aligners.
Benefits Of Invisalign®
Invisalign provides numerous benefits over traditional braces, making it a popular choice among patients. Some of the benefits include:
- Comfort: The aligners are smooth and comfortable, making them easy to wear during the day and night.
- Removable: The aligners can be easily taken out for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing.
- Discreet: Because the aligners are nearly invisible, no one will know you’re wearing them.
- Efficient: Invisalign treatments are often completed in as little as six months, which is a much faster time frame than most traditional braces treatments.
- Convenience: Invisalign makes your treatment more efficient due to fewer visits to the dentist’s office.
The Invisalign® Process
At Accent Dental Center, the first step is to conduct a comprehensive examination of your teeth and bite. If Invisalign is determined to be the best option for you, impressions, photos, and x-rays of your teeth will be taken. These records will be used to create a personalized treatment plan and a virtual representation of your desired results.
After we have received your custom-made aligners, you will come back in for an appointment and get fitted. You will also receive instructions on how to properly care for and use the aligners. Each aligner will gradually move your teeth into the desired position. You’ll wear each aligner for approximately two weeks and 22 hours each day before switching to the next one in the series. The length of treatment will depend on the complexity of your case, but most patients complete treatment within six and twelve months.
Am I A Candidate For Invisalign®?
Invisalign is an excellent choice for adults and teens who want to achieve a straighter, healthier smile.
