Do you want straighter teeth without feeling the embarrassment of wearing brackets? Consider Invisalign.
Many people want to straighten their teeth but are not comfortable wearing traditional braces. We all know that straight teeth not only look great but also have oral health benefits. The braces are challenging to wear, uncomfortable to carry, may take a lot of time to adjust to, and the wires may disturb your gums and cheeks while eating.
Invisalign provides straight teeth without making you wear braces and wires. It is a clear aligner that is made of flexible thermoplastic polymer. It remains entirely invisible and can fit easily over your teeth. Since it is almost non-noticeable to traditional braces, it is a popular alternative to braces. There are many advantages of using Invisalign like it doesn’t show up while speaking or smiling, they are easy to remove, it has no eating restrictions once you remove them, it is faster to get compared to the traditional braces, etc.
To get the Invisalign treatment, contact Bull Creek Dental.
Frequently Asked Questions
Invisalign is a popular orthodontic treatment that uses clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth. These custom-made aligners are virtually invisible and provide a discreet alternative to traditional braces.
The Invisalign treatment process begins with a digital scan or impressions of your teeth, which are used to create a 3D model. Based on this model, a series of custom aligners are manufactured to gradually move your teeth into the desired position. Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks before switching to the next set.
Invisalign is an effective treatment for many people, including adults and older teenagers with mild to moderate orthodontic issues like overcrowding, gaps, and misalignment. However, severe cases may require traditional braces or other orthodontic solutions.
The duration of Invisalign treatment varies depending on the complexity of the case and the individual's response to the aligners. On average, treatment can take around 6 to 18 months to achieve the desired results.
Invisalign aligners may cause some discomfort or pressure on the teeth when first wearing a new set of aligners. This is normal and indicates that the aligners are working to move the teeth. The discomfort typically subsides after a few days.
For optimal results, it is recommended to wear the Invisalign aligners for 20 to 22 hours per day, removing them only for eating, drinking (except water), brushing, and flossing.
No, it is recommended to remove the aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water. This prevents staining of the aligners and reduces the risk of damage.
Invisalign aligners should be cleaned regularly to maintain their clarity and hygiene. Rinse them with lukewarm water and brush them gently with a soft toothbrush. Avoid using hot water, as it can distort the aligners.
During the initial days of wearing Invisalign, some people may experience a slight change in their speech, such as a lisp. However, with practice, most individuals adjust quickly, and speech returns to normal.
Invisalign aligners are removable, making it easier to participate in sports and play musical instruments. However, it is recommended to wear a mouthguard during contact sports for added protection.
