Orthodontics Dentistry
Orthodontic treatment is to manage and correct mal-positioned teeth. Invisalign is a brand of clear aligners used in orthodontic treatment to straighten teeth and correct your bite.
Here are some key features and aspects of Invisalign:
Customization: The Invisalign treatment begins with impressions of your teeth, which are used to create a customized treatment plan. The aligners are then designed to fit your teeth precisely at each stage of the process.
Clear Aligners: Invisalign aligners are made of a transparent plastic material, making them nearly invisible when worn. This makes them a popular choice for individuals who may be self-conscious about the appearance of traditional braces.
Removability: One significant advantage of Invisalign is that the aligners can be easily removed for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. This makes maintaining oral hygiene more straightforward compared to traditional braces, which can trap food particles and make cleaning more challenging.
Comfort: Invisalign aligners are generally considered more comfortable than traditional braces because they lack sharp edges and wires. There are no adjustments needed, as you simply move on to the next set of aligners in your series at regular intervals.
Treatment Process: The Invisalign treatment involves a series of progressively numbered aligners. Each set is worn for about one to two weeks before moving on to the next one. Over time, these aligners exert gentle pressure on the teeth, gradually moving them into the desired position.
Treatment Duration: The length of an Invisalign treatment varies depending on the complexity of the case. However, it often takes around 12 to 18 months for most individuals.
