What is Invisalign? 

Invisalign is a convenient alternative to braces. It uses clear and removable aligners to straighten your teeth and correct other orthodontic concerns. 

Unlike braces, Invisalign seamlessly molds to the shape and size of your teeth. You can speak, smile, and laugh without anybody knowing you’re wearing clear aligners.

What are the benefits of Invisalign?

Invisalign offers many popular benefits for adults and teenagers hoping to discreetly complete orthodontic treatment. These advantages compared to braces include:

  • Virtually invisible
  • Easy to clean
  • Less irritation
  • Shorter dental visits
  • Predictable outcomes
  • Easier eating, chewing, and speaking
  • Improved oral hygiene

With Invisalign, you can feel confident knowing others won’t be able to tell you’re wearing aligners.

Who should not get Invisalign?

Invisalign is a great treatment for people with mild to moderate orthodontic issues. It can correct many of the same concerns as braces, including overbite, underbite, and crowded teeth. 

However, the team may recommend other orthodontic options if you have:

  • Dental implants or bridges
  • Severe malocclusion (bite issues)
  • Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ)
  • Small or misshapen teeth

These concerns often require more extensive procedures, such as braces, jaw surgery, or restorative dental work.

What can I expect from Invisalign treatment?

The Denta Smiles team uses a digital scanner to plan your Invisalign treatment in just a few minutes. The intraoral scanner takes detailed impressions of your teeth, allowing the team to design your personalized treatment plan using Invisalign’s proprietary software.

Once your treatment begins, you receive a new set of clear aligners every 2-3 weeks. 

Each set represents a new step in your orthodontic treatment, putting pressure on specific teeth to shift them into alignment. 

You must wear Invisalign for at least 22 hours a day, removing your clear aligners only to eat, drink (anything but water), and brush and floss your teeth.

You can occasionally remove Invisalign for special events. However, maintaining your treatment protocol is essential to stay on track. Some people complete treatment in just six months, while others wear Invisalign for 18 months or longer. 

Invisalign allows you to boost your smile’s appearance and function without visible metal wires and brackets. Call Denta Smiles today or schedule an appointment online for an Invisalign consultation.
