Traditional Orthodontics vs. Invisalign
Orthodontic treatment is the process of moving teeth into their ideal positions for proper function and appearance. It involves using braces or other appliances that are attached directly to your teeth. In most cases, braces involve wires and metal brackets to move the teeth, which can call attention to the fact that you’re updating your smile.
If you want to improve the appearance of your smile without calling attention to yourself, Invisalign offers you an alternative to conventional braces.
What Is Invisalign?
The name says it all: invisible orthodontia. The system uses plastic trays made specifically for each patient. These removable devices fit over your existing upper and lower teeth like traditional retainers. They slowly and gently shift your teeth into a new position. This method allows patients to keep eating normally while getting the results they desire.
How Does Invisalign Work?
Each tray has two parts: a thin shell that fits on top of your teeth and a series of tiny attachments called “aligners” that slide onto those shells. Each set of aligners moves one tooth at a time until your entire mouth is aligned in its correct position. You wear these sets every day for about 22 hours per day. Over time, the gradual movement of your teeth will change how they look. Your dentist monitors this progress through regular checkups.
What Are the Benefits of Invisalign?
There are many benefits to choosing Invisalign custom-made aligners instead of traditional braces. First, there’s no need to remove any permanent dental work from your teeth before starting treatment. Second, because Invisalign doesn’t require brackets or wires, it won’t affect your ability to eat properly. Third, since Invisalign isn’t visible when worn, you don’t have to worry about bringing attention to the fact that you’re straightening your teeth.
What Can Invisalign Correct?
With Invisalign, you can treat many different types of dental problems, including mild to moderate malocclusion of the bite, crooked teeth, gaps between teeth, crowded teeth, bite irregularities, cross bites, underbites, overbites, open bites, gummy smiles, diastema, spacing issues, and more. If you have any type of malocclusion, Invisalign may be able to help — all without metal wires and brackets!
Does Invisalign Hurt?
No! Most people find that wearing the aligner trays isn’t uncomfortable at all. However, if you do experience discomfort, talk with your doctor before removing the aligners so you can determine whether you need additional care.
How Long Does Invisalign Treatment Take?
The length of treatment depends on several factors, including the current position of your teeth and your overall health. The average patient completes his or her course of therapy within 12 months. It’s important to remember that each person responds differently to orthodontic treatments. Therefore, we recommend scheduling an appointment with our office to discuss your specific needs. We’ll provide you with a personalized plan based on your unique situation.
Can I Get Braces With Invisalign?
Yes! Many dentists offer both treatments together. When combined, Invisalign and braces provide even greater benefits. Talk to your dentist today to see if you’re a good candidate and to discuss your treatment plan.
