Invisalign Q & A

What are Invisalign aligners?

Invisalign is an orthodontic teeth-straightening system that is used to correct issues like overcrowding, misaligned teeth, or gaps between the teeth. The aligners are made from a clear, medical-grade, BPA-free plastic, and they are almost invisible to the naked eye when you’re wearing them. They look similar to the trays used for teeth whitening.

To create your custom aligners, your dentist takes impressions of your teeth and gums, then sends them to a lab. There, dental technicians create a series of custom aligners that gradually move your teeth to the desired position. Typically, you change each set of aligners (top and bottom) every two weeks, as your dentist monitors your progress along the way.

Am I a candidate for Invisalign aligners?

Since Invisalign aligners are custom-made for your teeth, they can address a wide range of dental concerns, providing similar results to traditional braces.

It can generally correct:

• Overcrowding: teeth become crooked, misaligned, or are overlapping
• Spacing issues: you have gaps in between certain teeth or not enough space in between others
• Minor bite problems: an overbite, underbite, or crossbite is affecting your smile or your teeth alignment

To determine whether or not you’re a candidate for Invisalign, your dentist conducts a thorough oral examination and considers your health history. Like traditional braces, wearing Invisalign aligners requires good oral hygiene and a commitment to healthy habits for best results.

What are the benefits of aligners?

Invisalign has become a popular way to straighten teeth because the aligners aren’t as noticeable as traditional braces. With removable aligners, you also have the freedom to take them out when you eat or drink, or when you have an important social event or meeting.

The Invisalign system also allows you to brush and floss as you normally would, so you won’t have to worry as much about stains or plaque that can be left behind by traditional braces. You also spend less time at the dentist’s office with Invisalign ― you simply come in for regular checkups to make sure your teeth are adjusting as planned.

Most patients report that the Invisalign process is easy, comfortable, and worth the investment.
