Invisalign is an orthodontic aligner that is made of transparent plastic material. It is a custom-made orthodontic aligner that helps to straighten your teeth and improve your oral health. Invisalign is a great alternative to metal braces, as it does not look conspicuous and can be removed while you eat, drink, and have a special occasion.
Invisalign aligners are a better option than metal braces as they:
Invisalign treatment generally takes two-three years to complete. During the course of treatment, we will schedule regular visits with you. During the initial visit, we will conduct a thorough examination of your teeth, mouth, and jawbone to determine the severity of the malocclusion and decide on the placement of the aligners.
We will take digital impressions of your teeth and send them to the dental laboratory for fabricating the aligners. During this period, we may recommend temporary trays while you wait for the custom-made aligners to be ready. Once the aligners are ready, we will schedule an appointment with you to have them fitted on your teeth. We will make sure that they fit snugly in place. In case any minor changes are required, we will make them before handing them over to you.
You will have to wear the Invisalign aligners for 22 hours every day during your treatment. They can be taken off while eating or drinking, but they cannot be worn only at night as they could affect the growth of your teeth.
We will schedule regular follow-up consultations with you every six weeks to monitor your progress and make any changes to the aligners as required.
