Clear aligners/Invisalign®
Gone are the days when every other teenager was spotted with metallic braces. In tune with the times, teenagers as well as people in general, have become more conscious of their appearance.
Invisalign aligners are a breakthrough technology used to straighten or adjust teeth without the need for traditional metal braces. These invisible braces are very effective against a myriad of oral issues such as gapped teeth, open bite, overbite, underbite, crossbite and crowded teeth.
You can now enjoy your daily activities and socialize with other without the worry of embarrassing braces. Furthermore, since these can be removed before mealtime, there are no dietary restrictions unlike traditional braces. To top it all, they can cost nearly the same as traditional braces ! In some cases, dental insurance plans can cover a large portion or all of your Invisalign costs !
So, walk in today or schedule an appointment with Dr. Seema at RelyOn Dental for a free consult !
How does Invisalign work?
Invisalign uses a cutting-edge technology to straighten your teeth using an effective BPA-free plastic aligner tray which are virtually invisible. They easily conform to your tooth structure while also applying gentle strategic forces to shape your teeth into the desired position.
You can change your tray at home every two weeks at your convenience and visit our office once every six weeks.
Who is an ideal candidate for clear aligners such as Invisalign?
Each case is unique and many factors come in to play, when deciding on the eligibility for clear aligners. A qualified Invisalign dentist such as Dr. Seema can make the final decision once she has carried out a comprehensive analysis and studied your expectations.
However it’s important that –
You are committed to the treatment. These aligners need to be worn for most part of the day for the best results.
– Have good oral hygiene wherein you are brushing and flossing your teeth thoroughly before putting on the aligners
– Have no teeth or gum issues; If so, we will treat any periodontal or gum disease before prescribing Invisalign
– Know that smoking can interferes with plastic aligners and may lead to discoloration.
-Not eat or drink with the aligners on, except when drinking water.
Although most of the cases of overbite, underbite, open bite, gaps between teeth, crossbite and crowding can be treated with Invisalign, complex cases such as large gaps between teeth, excessively rotated or crooked teeth and cases of intrusion or extrusion i.e. moving the teeth into or out of their respective sockets may require alternate treatments.
Dr. Seema will give you a comprehensive dental examination before deciding whether you are an ideal candidate for Invisalign.
How long does the Invisalign treatment take?
Every patient is different and responds differently to any treatment. Invisalign is no different; the time taken varies based on the oral condition or the alignment issue in question.
We have seen cases wherein the complete treatment has taken as little as 6 months and in other cases about a year. But you’ll start seeing results in a matter of weeks.
