What Is Invisalign®?
Invisalign uses clear plastic aligners to gradually move your teeth into the correct position. These aligners are custom-made for each patient based on their unique smile needs. Invisalign works through a series of aligners that you wear over the course of several months. As each set is replaced with the next in the series, your teeth are gently guided into their ideal position. Because they’re removable, Invisalign offers more flexibility compared to traditional braces, allowing you to remove them for eating and maintaining oral hygiene. It’s no wonder Invisalign is a popular choice for both teens and adults who prefer a discreet way to achieve a beautiful smile.
Why Choose Invisalign®?
Invisalign offers several key advantages over traditional metal braces, making it a top choice for orthodontic treatment. Here’s why so many patients choose Invisalign:
- Comfort: The aligners are made from SmartTrack material, ensuring they fit comfortably around your teeth without causing irritation to your gums or cheeks.
- Faster treatment: SmartTrack material also helps speed up the treatment process, meaning you can achieve your desired results in less time compared to braces.
- Discreet appearance: Since the aligners are clear, they are virtually invisible, allowing you to continue smiling confidently throughout your treatment without feeling self-conscious.
- Convenient and removable: You can easily remove your aligners to eat, brush, and floss. This means no dietary restrictions and easier maintenance of your oral hygiene compared to traditional braces.
The Invisalign® Process
At MB Dental at Heights, we use the latest technology to ensure your Invisalign treatment is precise, comfortable, and tailored to your unique needs.
- Consultation and evaluation: Your Invisalign journey begins with a consultation where we assess your smile and determine if Invisalign is the right option for you. We’ll discuss your goals and explain how the process works.
- iTero Element scanner: We use the iTero Element Scanner to create a 3D digital model of your teeth, eliminating the need for traditional impressions. This high-tech scan allows us to create your aligners with exceptional accuracy, ensuring a perfect fit.
- Personalized treatment plan: Using ClinCheck Software, we create a customized treatment plan that maps out the movement of your teeth from start to finish. You’ll even get a 3D preview of how your teeth will shift throughout the treatment, so you know what to expect.
- Aligner creation and fitting: Your aligners are crafted from SmartTrack material for comfort and efficiency. When your aligners are ready, you’ll return to our office for your fitting, where we’ll ensure they fit properly and teach you how to care for them.
- Wearing your aligners: You’ll wear your aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day, only removing them to eat, brush, and floss. Each set is worn for one to two weeks before switching to the next set, gradually moving your teeth closer to your perfect smile.
- Monitoring progress: We’ll schedule regular check-ins to monitor your progress and provide new aligners as needed. These visits are quick and easy, with no need for wire tightening or bracket adjustments.
- Final results and retention: Once your treatment is complete, you’ll be fitted with a retainer to maintain your new smile. Wearing your retainer is crucial to ensuring your teeth stay in their new position, preventing them from shifting back.
Invisalign® For Teens
Invisalign is also a fantastic option for teens who want to straighten their teeth without the look and restrictions of traditional braces. The clear aligners offer flexibility, allowing teens to maintain their daily activities, such as playing sports or enjoying their favorite foods, without the inconvenience of metal braces.
Some of the key benefits of Invisalign for teens include:
- Discreet: Clear aligners are nearly invisible, allowing teens to straighten their teeth without feeling self-conscious.
- Comfortable fit: Made from SmartTrack material, Invisalign aligners are more comfortable than braces, as there are no metal brackets or wires to cause irritation.
- Removable: Teens can easily remove the aligners to eat, brush, and floss, making it easier to maintain good oral hygiene and enjoy their favorite meals.
- Compliance indicators: Invisalign for teens includes small blue wear indicators that fade over time, helping parents and dental providers monitor if the aligners are being worn as recommended.
With these benefits, teens can focus on what matters most while achieving a straighter, healthier smile without the challenges of braces.
