WHAT IS INVISALIGN?

Invisalign clear aligner trays are just one of the many options you have at SBK orthodontics to fix your smile. But it’s one of the best. You’ll see… there’s not much to see about Invisalign, and that’s by design. Invisalign is a system of non-BPA plastic trays that look almost invisible to the naked eye, making it a discreet solution to your bad bite.

Check out some of the reasons why many patients are choosing Invisalign over traditional braces to achieve their dream smiles.

WHAT MAKES INVISALIGN SO GREAT?

Invisalign ends up being many patients’ first choice because of its considerable advantages over traditional metal braces. Let’s check out some of them:

  • Removable Trays. You heard that right! You can take off your aligners whenever you need to. Eating a meal or brushing your teeth will never again be a bother with these removable trays.
  • Clear. Because your aligners use non-BPA plastic, they are translucent and almost invisible to any casual onlookers. This means you won’t be attracting any unwanted attention to your smile during your treatment.
  • Better Oral Hygiene. You won’t have to deal with metal brackets or wires when flossing or brushing your teeth. Furthermore, food won’t get stuck around any such pieces or the risk of tooth decay.
  • Faster Treatment. Patients report shorter treatment times with Invisalign when compared to braces. Consult with your orthodontists for an estimate.

WHO IS INVISALIGN FOR?

Almost anyone can use Invisalign. Most of the cases you’d treat with braces can also be solved with Invisalign. You’ll still have to undergo an initial consultation with a qualified orthodontist to determine if your teeth are healthy enough to resist the treatment or if you’ll require additional attachments for your treatment.

Invisalign for Teens

Teenagers have an advantage over older patients. Their teeth and jaws are still growing, so the orthodontist can plan their treatment around these natural movements to make the treatment as comfortable and safe as possible.

Invisalign for Adults

Though not impossible, treatment for adults will require a bit more time since their jaws and teeth are usually set firmly in place. However, the thing that worries orthodontists the most is gum disease. Fortunately, Invisalign is great as it lets users focus on their dental hygiene during their treatment while moving their teeth gradually and safely.

FAQ

Who is Invisalign for?

Invisalign in Dexter is for patients of all ages. There is no age limit to starting your orthodontic care, and you’ll be better when you visit an orthodontist who can develop a treatment plan that’s right for you. Children, teenagers, and adults can all get the smile they’ve dreamt of with their specialized Invisalign treatment.

What are the benefits of Invisalign?

One of the many advantages clear aligner trays have over conventional metal braces is that the appliances are removable. Removable clear aligners let patients take better care of their dental hygiene during their Dexter orthodontic treatment, minimizing the risk of tooth decay and gum disease.

What is the best way to care for my aligners?

If you want to keep your clear aligners in Dexter as clean as possible, you’ll do well in using a soft-bristled toothbrush, liquid soap, and lukewarm water to rinse each aligner and avoid foul odor or plaque. Likewise, you should consider carrying your aligner’s protective case to safely put them away when not in use to avoid losing them after mealtimes.

Can you eat with Invisalign on?

You will have to ask your orthodontist about what will work best in your case. Technically, you can still keep your aligners on while you eat; in some patients, this helps seed the changes much better. Still, the whole idea of having removable aligners is that you can take them off to avoid food debris buildup around each aligner tray that can feed harmful bacteria and increase the risk of tooth decay.

Is Invisalign a permanent fix?

Invisalign is an efficient way of achieving dental realignment. However, because of the nature of our teeth and the jawbone that supports them, you’ll have to get a retainer after the main realignment process to avoid the negative effects of orthodontic relapse. Make sure to ask your Dexter orthodontist about the importance of retainers after Invisalign.
