When you have misalignment, such as crooked, crowded, and overlapping teeth, then you need orthodontics. Instead of metal braces, our team can use Invisalign® to straighten smiles. In today’s blog, your Brighton, MA, dentist talks about how we offer even smiles with a cosmetic approach using the Invisalign® process.
The Benefits of Taking on Your Misalignment
When you have dental misalignment, this could lead to major complications for your oral health. Obviously, this can lead to concerns with your appearance. But misalignment can also make thorough brushing and flossing a difficult process, which in turn increases the risk of tooth decay and gum disease. Poor alignment also places pressure on your jaw joints, so you could be more vulnerable to issues like TMJ disorder and bruxism (teeth grinding). We want to help improve your oral health and bite function, and offer results that make you feel confident. With Invisalign®, we can do that!
Creating Clear and Custom Aligners
To begin, we will need to design and craft your custom oral appliances. These orthodontic aligners will be made from clear and BPA-free plastic, and will fit comfortably and provide treatment with precision. To get started, we will examine your smile to assess the cause and extent of your misalignment. If this is the right choice for you, then we will take detailed digital images and measurements of your bite, and use them in a lab setting to design and craft your custom aligners, so you can start your treatment journey.
The Invisalign® Treatment Process
When your clear orthodontics are ready, you will start the treatment process. With Invisalign®, you will wear a set for about 20 to 22 hours a day, and do this for about two weeks. That’s when you start wearing the next set in the series and continue to repeat this process as your smile is gently and gradually corrected. For some, optimal results are possible in as little as one year! The aligners are easy to clean and use, and they can travel with you too. Being removable means you have a much easier time with meals, and with brushing and flossing your teeth.
