What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign is an innovative orthodontic treatment option that addresses mild to moderate dental misalignment issues for adults and responsible teens. The treatment relies on a series of clear plastic aligners, much like a retainer, to make minor adjustments to your teeth that result in significant changes over time. Your clear aligners are designed to perfectly contour to your smile for a secure and comfortable fit.
The transparent appearance of Invisalign makes them an enticing option for working adults who want to straighten their smiles without drawing attention to themselves. Additionally, Invisalign is perfect if you've had traditional metal braces in the past but are experiencing shifting teeth as you age.
The Invisalign Process
Our team will begin the process by conducting a thorough oral exam. Once we decide that your smile is ideal for Invisalign, we’ll use state-of-the-art technology like our iTero® intraoral scanner to create digital impressions of your teeth and gums. After we send your impressions to a trusted lab to craft your aligners, we'll walk you through what you'll experience day-to-day with Invisalign.
Once your aligners are ready, we'll call you into our office to come to pick up your trays. We'll ensure that they fit comfortably. Every few weeks, you'll receive a new set of aligners slightly different from your previous ones. During each visit, we'll closely monitor the positions of your teeth and make any adjustments to your treatment if necessary.
Benefits of Invisalign
- 1 - Efficiency: Invisalign clear braces are famous for their shorter treatment duration compared to traditional braces. However, the time required depends on your unique dental situation and the extent of your misalignment issues.
- 2 - Removability: Traditional metal braces are placed on the surface of your teeth and cannot be removed. As a result, you must adjust your diet and take special care to maintain your oral health. Invisalign clear aligners are removable, which allows you to eat the foods you enjoy and care for your smile as you normally would.
- 3 - Comfort: Invisalign clear aligners are smooth and fit comfortably in your mouth. Although you can expect to feel slight pressure when you receive your new trays, there are no sharp edges to irritate your gums or result in injury.
Invisalign FAQs
Can I Pair Invisalign with Another Dental Treatment?
Yes. At Penn Dental Arts, we can combine your Invisalign treatment with other service options like teeth whitening through a smile makeover.
What Should I Do If I Lose an Invisalign Aligner?
Although we stress the importance of keeping track of your aligners, their clear appearance makes them easy to misplace. If you lose an aligner, it's crucial that you put in your previous aligners to ensure that the progress you've made isn't set back. Afterward, you should contact our office so that we can determine if we need to order replacement aligners.
How Do I Clean My Invisalign Aligners?
You can use a soft toothbrush to gently clean the surface of your Invisalign aligners, followed by rinsing them in lukewarm water. It's vital that you do not rinse them in hot water as it can warp the plastic and prevent them from securely fitting your smile.
