Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that corrects tooth placement and structure using clear, thin aligners. Invisalign may avoid wires, brackets, and the hassle of metal braces.
Your provider uses a state-of-the-art iTero Element™ scanner to quickly create a detailed, 3D scan of your current smile. This helps them understand your orthodontic needs and develop a customized Invisalign treatment plan.
Invisalign’s SmartTrack™ technology generates a series of aligners, and they fit snugly over your teeth. The aligners successfully move your teeth in tiny increments.
Invisalign can help cosmetically revitalize your smile and also treat several dental issues, including:
Bite alignment is also key in swallowing, chewing, breathing, and maintaining proper facial structure.
The pros and cons of Invisalign include:
Invisalign may also avoid emergency orthodontist visits due to metal braces issues.
If you have cavities and/or gum disease, you must have it treated before getting Invisalign.
Invisalign makes several versions of the clear, plastic aligner trays that move your teeth incrementally.
You’ll need to put in and remove the aligner trays at home and commit to wearing them 20-22 hours a day. You should always remove aligners when eating, brushing, or flossing your teeth.
You’ll need to wear each tray for 1-2 weeks and visit Dorri’s Dental every 6-8 weeks to receive your next round of aligners.
Depending on how complex your dental needs are, Invisalign could start showing results in a few weeks. You may even complete treatment in as little as six months, but most people require a longer treatment time.
During treatment, it’s vital to maintain your oral hygiene routine. Brush and floss regularly, and visit Dorri’s Dental at least twice a year for routine cleanings.
