What is Invisalign?
When creating the Invisalign specifically for your teeth using x-rays, photographs, and CT scans, the computer builds a 3-d replica of the plate for your mouth. This uniquely molded plate will not irritate your gums or do damage to your teeth and the straightening process is faster and more comfortable than traditional metal braces. It is used to create the same effect as traditional braces, but invisible braces are even better.
The Benefits of Using Invisalign Over Traditional Braces
- Invisalign is comfortable to wear. The invisible plate does not put severe pressure on teeth and because it is removable you can remove it anytime, anywhere.
- Invisalign is transparent, making it virtually invisible. No one will even know you are wearing it.
- With traditional braces, hygiene is a leading issue. It can damage the enamel and stain your teeth. It’s hard to clean between the wires which lead to cavities. Invisalign is a removable plate that should be cleaned daily, but in no way does it affect the oral hygiene of your teeth if used properly.
The Process to Receiving Invisalign
Using 3-D computer imaging scans we are able to determine the complete steps from beginning to end that your teeth will undergo during the Invisalign treatment. This means that we will accurately predict and show you how your teeth will finally look. We will mold these scans and in increments of two weeks, you will switch to the new mold for the next step in the alignment improvement. You will wear your Invisalign until your invisible retainers run out.
