Invisalign
In the past, people who needed orthodontic treatment had to rely on metal braces to correct their teeth. But nowadays, Invisalign has taken the orthodontic world by storm. At All Dental, we offer Invisalign services to the Riverview community. Invisalign is a great option for teens and adults who want to straighten their teeth without having to deal with the metal wires and brackets of traditional braces. If you’re looking for a more discreet way to achieve a straighter smile, Invisalign might be right for you.
What is invisalign?
Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that straightens teeth without the use of metal brackets or wires. Instead, Invisalign uses a series of clear, custom-made aligners to gradually move teeth into their desired position. The aligners are made of a smooth, comfortable plastic that is virtually invisible when worn. They are also removable, so you can eat and drink what you want and brush and floss normally. Best of all, no one will even know you’re wearing them unless you tell them!
The Invisalign treatment process begins with a consultation with your All Dental professional who is trained in Invisalign. During the consultation, your doctor will evaluate your smile to determine if Invisalign is right for you. If it is, they will create a personalized treatment plan using 3D computer imaging technology.
Once your doctor has created your individualized treatment plan, your custom-made aligners will be fabricated based on the detailed plan. You will receive several sets of aligners throughout the course of your treatment, each slightly different from the last to continue moving your teeth until they are in their desired position. You will wear each set of aligners for about two weeks before moving on to the next set in the series.
The length of time you need to wear your aligners will depend on how complex your smile is. On average, most people finish treatment within 12 months to 18 months; however, some cases take as little as six months while more complex cases may take up to 24 months or more.
You will need to visit us approximately every six weeks so we can monitor your progress and give you the next set of aligners in the series. Treatment with Invisalign is complete once all of the aligners in the series have been worn and your teeth have reached their desired goal position!
Invisalign vs Traditional Braces
- Invisalign is practically invisible
Invisalign clear aligners are made of smooth, comfortable and virtually invisible plastic that you wear over your teeth. So, unlike metal braces, they are virtually undetectable. This means you can smile more during treatment as well as after.
- Invisalign straightens your teeth without wires or brackets
Traditional metal braces use brackets and wires to slowly move your teeth into place over time. But Invisalign uses a series of clear, customized, removable aligners that gradually shift your teeth. And no wires or brackets means you spend less time in the doctor’s chair getting adjustments.
- You can eat whatever you want with Invisalign
You can eat whatever you like during treatment because there are no food restrictions with Invisalign clear aligners. Simply remove them before eating, then brush and floss your teeth and pop them back in when you’re done. With traditional metal braces, on the other hand, you have to be careful about what you eat because certain foods can get stuck in the brackets and wires.
