Benefits of Invisalign clear braces
With Invisalign clear braces, you will not have to encounter troubles such as broken wires and constantly having to floss after eating like traditional braces. Furthermore, Invisalign offers much higher aesthetics than ceramic or metal braces.
Who should use Invisalign clear braces
– Crowded teeth
– Rotate teeth for proper alignment
– Adjust teeth forward or back to create a harmonious smile
– Widen a narrow jaw for a bright, full smile
Treatment time depends on each patient’s teeth condition
After taking full X-rays and fillings if the patient has cavities, the doctor will conduct a smile analysis. The orthodontist will discuss with the patient about the things they are not satisfied with in their current smile and notify them in case the patient has bite problems. Then, detailed pictures of the patient’s jaws, smile lines will be taken and dental impressions will be taken to accurately study the patient’s tooth condition.
Images and jaw samples will be sent to Invisalign. In two weeks, the doctor will invite you back to the dentist for a 3D Scan using ClinCheck software, so the patient can see a simulation of the expected treatment results. This 3D Scan also helps doctors estimate treatment time and describe tooth movements during the Invisalign clear braces process. After the patient agrees with the orthodontic plan given by the doctor, your Invisalign treatment plan will be sent to the company to print the first trays to begin the treatment plan.
At your next appointment, your doctor will attach small dental plugs (attachments) to your teeth to act as anchors while the teeth move. These buttons are specially designed to rotate, create torque and push teeth, have the same color as the teeth, will be removed when the orthodontic process is finished and do not affect aesthetics at all. The doctor will deliver the first set of trays and instruct you on how to wear the trays as well as how to clean the trays and your teeth.
The doctor will see you again for a checkup in 2 weeks and deliver the next 2 sets of trays. The follow-up procedure will take place every 2 months until the end of treatment. Make sure to wear the aligners for at least 22 hours a day and you will notice a change and the road to a perfect smile will not be far away.
The clear braces treatment package will include 3 free adjustments. This fine-tuning helps bring the best results to the patient, ensuring every tooth movement is exactly as desired by the doctor and patient. After the orthodontic process is finished, the doctor will take pictures to keep on file.
