03 Nov Clear Orthodontics With Invisalign®
We’ve talked about how we can use special braces to correct smiles in just six months. But did you know we have clear options too? With Invisalign®, our team can address poor alignment with a series of clear and comfortable plastic aligners. our Lancaster, OH, dental team can offer straighter smiles with Invisalign®!
Don’t Ignore Your Misalignment
Misalignment means your teeth are crooked, crowded, or overlap one another. Your uneven smile obviously creates a negative impact on your smile beauty, but this also leads to issues with your oral health. For example, you could have trouble thoroughly brushing and flossing, which increases the risk of tooth decay and gum disease. The stress on your jaw joints due to even teeth could lead to TMJ disorder and bruxism (teeth grinding). To avoid these complications and gain a new confidence in your smile, we recommend orthodontics to correct your uneven teeth. For an option that is clear and barely visible, we offer the Invisalign® system.
The Invisalign® Treatment Process
The treatment process is pretty simple. We will provide you with a series of clear aligners. Each set is worn for about 20 to 22 hours a day, depending on our recommendations. You wear each set for two weeks, and then begin wearing the next one in the series. Each set continues the process of gently and carefully repositioning the teeth into optimal positions, so you can enjoy an even and beautiful smile. The total treatment time varies, but usually requires as little as one year. The aligners can also be removed, which means no need to change your diet, and that brushing and flossing is much simpler, so you reduce your risk of teeth stains and tooth decay during treatment. You also require fewer visits to our office when compared to braces!
Creating Your Custom Aligners
To ensure optimal treatment for our patients, we will custom-make the aligners, so they fit comfortably and offer treatment with precision. To do so, our team will take detailed digital images of your smile from multiple angles, sending these images and measurements to experts who then design and craft your aligners in a lab setting. When they’re ready, you start the treatment process and in as little as one year, you can have a straighter smile!
