Do you want straighter teeth without the hassle of metal brackets and wires? Why not choose Invisalign?
In this blog post, we will give an overview of what Invisalign is and how it works, explain how it can improve your smile, and discuss the many benefits that come with this innovative treatment.
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a revolutionary, modern orthodontic treatment that uses a series of custom-made, removable, aligners to gradually move your teeth to an ideal position. The Invisalign system is a virtually invisible treatment that gently straightens your teeth using SmartForce technology.
How can Invisalign improve your smile?
Invisalign can be used to treat a variety of dental issues, such as crooked or crowded teeth, gaps between teeth, overbites, and underbites.
By gently shifting your teeth into their correct position, Invisalign can significantly improve your smile in both appearance and functionality.
Not only do you get straighter teeth, but also improved oral health! Brushing and flossing become more accessible, as well as reduce the risk of cavities and gum disease from overcrowded or misaligned teeth.
Benefits of Invisalign
Invisalign has become increasingly popular in recent years as people seek out more subtle ways to straighten their teeth without having to deal with traditional braces. Let’s take a closer look at the benefits of Invisalign. 
Removable
One key benefit of using Invisalign is that the trays are easily removable. Traditional braces are notoriously difficult to remove and can cause significant discomfort if not done properly by a professional.
With Invisalign, you can take off your aligners whenever necessary – for eating, drinking, brushing, or flossing and slip them back on afterward with minimal effort.
This makes it easier to keep up with good oral hygiene habits and keep the Invisalign trays clean while going through treatment!
Discreetness
Invisalign aligners are made from clear plastic, they blend in seamlessly with your natural smile. Virtually invisible, very few people would notice you’re having your teeth straightened!
It makes it perfect for adults who want to straighten their teeth without having to deal with the appearance of metal wires or brackets commonly associated with traditional braces.
Comfort
Another big advantage of using Invisalign is its comfort level compared to other orthodontic solutions like metal braces.
Since the aligners are made from smooth plastic, they won’t irritate your gums or cheeks as metal brackets and wires might do over time.
These removable and comfortable aligners help minimize any discomfort from food getting stuck in your teeth which is a common issue with traditional braces.
The thin plastic material used in the aligners is designed not only for comfort but also for convenience – they’re easily removable, so you can eat whatever you want without worrying about food getting stuck in your braces or wire poking your lips or gums.
Effectiveness
It should come as no surprise that Invisalign offers just as much effectiveness as any other orthodontic solution available today.
As long as you wear your aligners for the recommended amount of time each day (usually about 22 hours) and switch out each set according to schedule, then your treatment should progress just as well (if not better) than if you had used traditional braces instead.
Why is Invisalign the best choice for orthodontic care?
Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that uses clear aligners to straighten teeth. Unlike traditional braces, which are usually made of metal brackets and wires, Invisalign’s aligners are made of a thin, transparent plastic that fits comfortably over your teeth.
But what really sets it apart from other aligner brands? Let’s take a look at why Invisalign is the best choice for orthodontic care.
Invisalign’s customized treatment plan
The key to Invisalign’s success is its customized treatment plan. Each patient receives personalized care tailored to their unique needs, with each case carefully considered and planned before beginning treatment.
By taking all factors into account, such as tooth size, shape, and placement, Invisalign can provide more accurate results than other brands.
In addition to this individualized approach to care, Invisalign also offers something no other brand does – its proprietary software.
This program uses 3D imaging technology to map out a patient’s entire treatment plan in advance. This helps ensure minimal risk of complications down the road and allows patients to see their progress as they go through their treatment plan.
How long does treatment take?
The length of time it takes for your Invisalign treatment will depend on many factors including; your bite, crowding/crooked teeth, and the desired outcome of the treatment.
On average, people complete their Invisalign treatments in about 12 months, though some cases can take up to 18 months or longer. Your Dentist will be able to give you an estimate based on your specific needs and goals.
What are the next steps for the Invisalign process?
Here are the next steps for starting your Invisalign journey at Ultra Dental:
- Consultation with our friendly clinicians
- Data collection: We take records of your teeth, bite and smile including x-rays, photos, and a digital scan
- Clin Check: Using Align Technology’s proprietary software, we will create a customized 3D treatment plan. This will show you the final position your teeth are predicted to reach. This also informs you of the likely length of the treatment.
- Approval and order: Once you have approved the treatment plan and signed the consent form we will order your trays in!
Your series of custom-made aligners will be given to you by your Dentist (typically 2-4 sets at a time) for you to wear every day, and change every 1-2 weeks. You will visit Ultra every 6-8 weeks to monitor your progress and receive the next series of aligners.
What can I expect during my treatment?
Your first step in starting your Invisalign treatment is getting fitted for your custom-made aligners.
Once they arrive, all you have to do is wear them as instructed by your Dentist or orthodontist – typically 20-22 hours per day – and switch out each set every one to two weeks until your treatment is complete.
You may experience some discomfort during this time as your teeth move into their new positions, but that should subside within a few days after switching out each set of aligners.
Additionally, it’s very important that you brush and floss regularly throughout the course of your treatment so that plaque doesn’t accumulate on your teeth or around the edges of the aligner trays. Your Dentist will go through with you in more detail what to expect with your Invisalign journey.
Conclusion
Invisalign offers an innovative alternative to traditional braces that provides an efficient solution for achieving a perfect smile in less time with fewer visits to the Dentist.
Its clear plastic aligners make it virtually invisible when worn while still providing superior results in terms of both aesthetics and functionality compared to traditional braces.
With so many advantages offered by Invisalign – including convenience, comfortability, and remarkable results – it’s no wonder why more people are choosing this modern method over traditional braces these days.
