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 like regular braces require, 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 could be too much for you. As your teeth need to stay in the trays while each week your trays change with your progress, you might not notice most of these movements because your teeth are moving only 0.25mm to 0.30mm.
With clear aligner treatment, each tray is specifically designed for your mouth from start to finish. 3D mapped to fit each of your teeth, to make this process seamless. This process can take up to 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 Invalign
This clear aligner treatment is used for its discretion and less hassle than being an adult with bulky brackets and wires, but there are more reasons than just cosmetic. 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 get into 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, like veneers or dental bonding to fix your teeth.
Along with oral hygiene, it's easier to clean your Invisalign trays with Invisalign cleaning crystals or by brushing and rinsing them with lukewarm water. That's way less of a hassle than braces, where you have to clean in between each bracket.
