What Is Invisalign®?
Invisalign® is an orthodontic treatment that uses a series of custom-made, clear aligners to gradually move your teeth into their desired position. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign® aligners are removable and nearly invisible, making them a popular choice for both teens and adults who want to straighten their teeth without the hassle of wires and braces.
Benefits of Invisalign®
Choosing Invisalign® for your orthodontic treatment offers multiple benefits, including:
- Discreet Appearance: The clear aligners are virtually invisible.
- Removable: Unlike braces, Invisalign® aligners can be removed for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing, giving you more flexibility and easier oral hygiene.
- Comfortable: These aligners are custom-made for a comfortable fit, without the irritation and discomfort that can come with metal brackets and wires.
- Fewer Office Visits: With Invisalign®, you typically need fewer checkups compared to traditional braces.
The Invisalign® Process
At Edgewater Family Dentistry, we offer personalized dental care, guiding you every step of the way and ensuring you achieve the smile you’ve always dreamed of. Here is what you can expect during your Invisalign® treatment:
- Initial Consultation: During your first visit, we’ll assess your dental health and discuss your smile goals to determine if Invisalign® is the right treatment for you.
- Custom Treatment Plan: Using advanced 3D imaging technology, we’ll take precise impressions of your teeth to create a custom treatment plan. These impressions ensure that your aligners are perfectly tailored to fit your teeth. The treatment plan will outline the movements of your teeth and show how your smile will look at the end of the treatment.
- Receiving Your Aligners: Once your aligners are ready, we’ll provide you with a series of custom-made trays that you need to wear for at least 20-22 hours a day. You’ll get a new set of aligners approximately every two weeks as your teeth gradually move into their ideal position.
- Regular Checkups: We’ll schedule periodic checkups to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments.
Caring for Your Aligners
To keep your Invisalign® aligners in top condition, it’s important to clean them regularly. Here are a few tips:
- Rinse and Brush: Rinse your aligners with lukewarm water and brush them gently with a soft toothbrush to remove food particles and bacteria.
- Avoid Staining: Remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water to prevent staining.
- Brush and Floss After Meals: Make sure you brush and floss your teeth after meals and before putting on your aligners to avoid food particles from getting trapped under the aligners.
- Store Properly: Always store your aligners in their case when not in use to avoid damage or loss.
