Invisalign
Have you dreamed of straighter, better aligned teeth but don’t want to go through the discomfort and limitations of traditional braces? You don’t need all those wires and brackets just to get a boost in your self esteem. Invisalign is one of the most popular options today for straightening teeth because it offers so many benefits when compared to old-fashioned braces.
Braces have come a long way in the last few decades, and they’re still required for certain advanced cases of tooth alignment issues. However, most patients can rely on a more comfortable aligner like Invisalign instead. As the name suggests, this kind of aligner is nearly invisible when it’s in your mouth. No one will be able to guess you’re straightening your teeth. You can easily remove the aligners to eat or drink anything you want. Food restriction is one of the many reasons adults in particular tend to avoid braces. Speaking of adults, Invisalign works just as well for them as it does for teenagers. There are no limits on what you can do while you’re wearing your Invisalign aligners, which is good because you need to wear them for 20 or more hours a day to get the desired effects.
Taking care of Invisalign aligners is easy as well. You simply remove them once a day and let them soak for at least 20 minutes in clear water mixed with a cleaning tablet. You can use the tablets provided by Invisalign or denture cleaning tablets. You should also brush the aligner with a soft-bristled toothbrush once a day to remove films and stubborn food particles. Don’t use toothpaste on the aligner when cleaning it since the abrasive particles could damage the material. Other than that, your aligners don’t need any particular special care. It’s just that easy to align your smile without a lot of discomfort or long waiting periods.
Here at Tooth Twins, every patient interested in aligning their teeth starts with a complimentary consultation. We’ll check your current oral health and assess if you’re a good fit for this particular type of treatment. If we think there’s a solution that might work better for you, we’ll recommend it. This ensures you’ll get the results you’re expecting with minimal discomfort and side effects.
Every treatment plan is personalized to your desires and oral health concerns. We’ll start with detailed scans and impressions of your smile to determine which teeth should move and where. This allows us to create digital models that show you what to expect when the Invisalign treatment is done. We’ll discuss all the details like the length of treatment, the financial details, and the estimated dates you can expect to change aligners. If there are any potential issues, we’ll bring them up at that time so you’re informed and can make the right decision about care.
It’ll take a few weeks for your new aligners to arrive after your impressions are made. We’ll show you how to wear them and discuss any fit or comfort issues you experience. The aligners are clear and made of BPA-free smooth plastic. Since they fit so closely to your teeth, you should experience no issues with them being noticeable or affecting the way you talk. After you adapt to the feeling of having something in your mouth for most of the day and night, you’re likely to forget about it entirely. Just remember to remove the aligner for cleaning and to eat and drink!
It’s easy to keep up with your Invisalign treatment because there’s no need to see the dentist or an orthodontist just to progress through the aligners. You’ll switch every two weeks to a month, depending on how quickly your teeth move and the amount of alignment change you need. Each aligner is carefully crafted with cutting-edge technology to only move your teeth about 1/10mm per tray. That means you’ll experience minimal discomfort while going through treatment. We’ll have you come into the office to see the Tooth Twins on a regular schedule to ensure everything’s following the treatment plan. If necessary, we can adjust the plan to address any issues that do pop up.
You could be enjoying a new smile with straighter and better aligned teeth in as little as a year. Get started now by scheduling your appointment with us here at the Tooth Twins. Our team will guide you through the entire process and make sure that Invisalign is the best choice for you before you start.
