When you want to feel confident in your smile but don't want the hassle of metal brackets, you have options.
Invisalign is one of the most popular methods of correcting crooked teeth. With Invisalign, aligners made from a thermoplastic material gently guide your teeth to the desired positions. These clear aligners are practically invisible and easily removable.
Invisalign aligners are one of the most effective orthodontic treatments available. They not only correct misaligned teeth but also address many other common oral health concerns:
In addition to being less noticeable than traditional braces, Invisalign has many other benefits:
During your initial Invisalign consultation with Dr. Mary or Dr. Antoun, they will begin to create your treatment plan by taking a digital scan of your teeth. Laboratory technicians will use the scan to create an outline of your treatment that shows every phase of your Invisalign journey, including the predicted final results.
After a few weeks, your custom-made Invisalign trays will be ready to insert. Most patients receive 15 to 25 aligners, which change approximately every ten days. However, every patient has a unique solution, so your number of trays may vary.
The team at Sapphire Smiles will show you how to wear and maintain your trays. You must commit to wearing them a minimum of 22 hours a day to achieve the best results.
Each set of Invisalign trays is designed to make slight movements in your teeth. You'll replace your aligners every ten days, and they will gently move your teeth into the proper position. You'll visit us regularly throughout treatment to ensure your smile is progressing as planned.
Invisalign treatment takes 4 to 12 months, depending on your specific needs. In many cases, it is significantly faster than traditional orthodontic treatment.
Caring for your clear aligners is just as important as wearing them for the recommended time. Get into the habit of cleaning your trays regularly with a nonabrasive cleaner. Avoid using denture cleaner or mouthwash; soaking them daily in lukewarm water with Invisalign cleaning crystals will help keep them free of odor.
