If you've been holding off on straightening your teeth because you don't want to deal with conventional metal braces, you may want to consider Invisalign, the world's leading clear aligner system. The virtually invisible, convenient, and comfortable orthodontic solution will gently and discreetly deliver the smile you've always wanted. We invite you to visit Simon Family Dental to determine whether Invisalign is right for you.
What Is Invisalign and How Does It Work?
Invisalign by Align Technology consists of a series of clear aligners created using advanced 3D computer imaging technology. Just as with traditional metal braces, the virtually invisible aligners will apply pressure on your teeth to gently shift them into position. You'll wear each aligner set for about two weeks before moving on to the next in the series.
What Are the Benefits of Invisalign?
Invisalign offers numerous benefits, including the following:
- It's Virtually Invisible: The aligner trays are clear, so most people won't notice you're wearing them.
- It Is Predictable: The SmartForce features and SmartTrack material place pressure in the right place at the right time, moving your teeth into their desired position with precision.
- It Works for Adults and Teens: The innovative aligner system works for adults and teens, with Invisalign Teen featuring compliance indicators to ensure the aligners are worn for the required time.
- It's Comfortable: The clear aligners are created from a smooth and incredibly comfortable material, unlike traditional braces with metal brackets and wires.
- It's Convenient: Your clear aligners are removable, so you can take them out to brush and floss as you usually would, and you can eat anything you want without restrictions.
- It Promotes Better Dental Health: Straightening your teeth and eliminating crowding lowers your risk of tooth decay and gum disease and improves your oral health.
- It Is Faster: Invisalign can deliver a comfortable, beautiful, and precisely aligned smile up to 50 percent faster than traditional braces.
- It Requires Fewer Appointments: You'll need fewer visits to the dentist's office than with braces. We typically see you every six weeks to ensure your Invisalign treatment is on track.
- It Produces Dramatic Smile Transformations: Invisalign's results speak for themselves. You'll achieve beautifully straight teeth and a stunning smile.
Are You a Candidate for Invisalign?
Invisalign offers a perfect orthodontic solution for most individuals wanting to straighten their teeth and perfect their smiles. It is ideal for correcting crooked, gapped, or crowded teeth as well as mild to moderate bite concerns, including overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites. Dr. Simon will evaluate your smile's unique needs and help you determine whether you're a candidate for Invisalign.
What Is the Invisalign Procedure?
Dr. Simon will evaluate your smile's unique needs and help you determine whether Invisalign is right for you. Once you’ve decided to begin Invisalign treatment, we’ll take photographs and digital scans of your teeth. Dr. Simon will map out your custom treatment plan with the exact tooth movements and length of treatment. You'll even get to preview the expected results.
When your aligners are ready, you’ll return to our office. Dr. Simon will check their fit and explain how to use and care for them. You'll need to wear your aligners for 20 to 22 hours daily, only taking them out to eat or brush your teeth. Dr. Simon will evaluate your progress periodically to ensure your treatment progress stays on track.
