Invisalign Clear Aligners

The Benefits of Invisalign Clear Aligners

Invisalign clear aligners have revolutionized the field of orthodontics by offering a more comfortable, convenient, and discreet alternative to traditional metal braces. Many people hesitate to get braces due to their appearance, but Invisalign offers a nearly invisible and more comfortable solution. Invisalign clear aligners have been shown to successfully treat a variety of alignment issues, including crowded teeth, gaps, and overbites.

Emergency Invisalign Treatment

While Invisalign clear aligners are designed to be durable and long-lasting, emergencies can happen. If you experience an emergency with your Invisalign aligners, think of things such as a broken tray or a lost attachment, it’s important to take action quickly to ensure that your orthodontic treatment stays on track. The first step is to contact your dentist to let them know what has happened. They can assess the situation and provide guidance on what to do next. If your dental emergency occurs outside of regular office hours, you may need to reach out to an emergency dentist who can provide immediate assistance. It’s so important to address any emergencies as quickly as possible to prevent delays in your treatment and to ensure that your teeth remain properly aligned.

Can a General Dentist Do Invisalign?

While a general dentist can provide Invisalign treatment, it’s important to ensure that they have the necessary training and experience to do it effectively. Invisalign treatment requires regular check-ins and adjustments to ensure proper alignment, so it’s important to choose a dental provider with whom you feel comfortable and confident in their abilities.

Invisalign treatment process

Consultation:

To begin the process of getting Invisalign, the first step is to make an appointment. During this consultation, the orthodontist will evaluate your teeth, use x-rays and digital scans, and have a conversation with you about what you hope to achieve with the treatment. With this information, they can decide whether Invisalign is a suitable choice for you and develop a personalized treatment strategy.

Creation of aligners: 

After your treatment plan has been confirmed, a set of personalized aligners using advanced 3D printing technology will be produced. These aligners are crafted from a transparent, BPA-free plastic material and are specifically created to fit securely onto your teeth.

Wearing the aligners:

Each set of aligners should be worn for about two weeks and only removed for short periods of time to eat, drink, brush and floss teeth. As you continue to switch between each set of aligners, your teeth will slowly move into their intended alignment.

Checkups: 

It is necessary for you to have regular checkups every six to eight weeks. During these appointments, your dentist/orthodontist will oversee your progress and make any required modifications to your treatment plan.

Completion of treatment: 

After finishing your set of aligners, it might be suggested that you wear a retainer to preserve the alignment of your teeth. Retainers can either be fixed or removable and it is important to wear them as told to achieve optimal outcomes.

Generally, Invisalign treatment usually takes around 12 to 18 months, depending on your specific case. By following the appropriate care and upkeep, Invisalign aligners can assist you in obtaining a healthier, straighter smile without the difficulties and discomfort that come with conventional metal braces.

Invisalign Cost & Paying For Invisalign

Invisalign costs are similar to traditional braces, so it helps to consider it as an investment in your smile. What would you pay for a lifetime of improved dental health and a smile you can feel good about?

Also, keep in mind that aligned teeth are easier to clean and evenly distribute pressure in your mouth, reducing your risk of cavities, decay, and wear and tear. Investing in orthodontic treatment pays off in the long run, because you’ll avoid costly treatments like fillings, root canals, periodontal therapy, and more when your teeth are in optimal alignment.
