If you are an adult or older teen with mild orthodontic needs, then Invisalign could be the option you have been looking for.
How Invisalign Trays Work
Invisalign is much less of a hassle than braces, so if you're worried about that, don't! They require significantly fewer visits to the dentist than braces do. Because they work on a weekly or biweekly basis, you don't need to see us to tighten or put on new bands, as regular braces do, and they're clear, too!
For Invisalign to be most effective, you need to wear your trays 20 to 22 hours a day, leaving room only to eat, drink, brush, or floss your teeth. If you are not ready to make this regimented sacrifice, then Invisalign may not be suitable.
With clear aligner treatment, each tray is specifically designed for your mouth from start to finish. And the aligners are 3D-mapped to fit each of your teeth, making this process seamless. This process can take 12 to 18 months, depending on the patient. Sometimes you can get it done in 6 to 8 months if your treatment is less severe than others.
Why Choose Invisalign
This clear aligner treatment is used for its discretion and the reduced hassle compared to being an adult with bulky brackets and wires, but there are more reasons than just cosmetic ones. One big factor in having straight teeth is overall health; most of the time, crowded or crooked teeth come with problems. Such as bacteria and plaque buildup between teeth because of large gaps or overlapping teeth. It can also affect how you floss and brush your teeth; if you have crooked teeth, it's harder to navigate the hard-to-reach areas and make sure you are removing all of the food and bacteria. Crooked teeth can also lead to other cosmetic adjustments in the future, such as veneers or dental bonding.
Along with oral hygiene, it's easier to clean your Invisalign trays using cleaning crystals or by brushing them and rinsing them with lukewarm water. That's way less of a hassle than braces, where you have to clean in between each bracket.
