The Invisalign treatment process is a great option for people who want to straighten their teeth without the embarrassment and discomfort of traditional braces. Invisalign aligners are clear and fit flush to your teeth so they are virtually invisible to others.
The treatment process is quick and comfortable, allowing you to complete your treatment in half the time that it would take with traditional metal braces. The treatment is based on complex 3D images of your mouth, which are then used to create the aligners that will straighten your teeth over a period of several months.
Your doctor will use a digital scanner to take x-rays and a 3D model of your teeth. This will allow your doctor to develop a personalized treatment plan for you. Once this is done, the company that makes Invisalign will make a series of clear plastic mouth trays (aligners) that gradually move your teeth into their ideal position.
Invisalign trays are made from a special plastic material that is designed to be extremely smooth, comfortable, and durable. Unlike traditional ‘train-track’ braces, Invisalign aligners are easy to remove for eating and can be cleaned more easily.
You can choose from different colors to match your smile and are provided with a series of aligners that will gradually straighten your teeth. The treatment will consist of several sets of trays that you wear for about 20 hours per day.
Using a special algorithm, each Invisalign tray moves your teeth in small steps until they reach their desired position. When you change trays, your doctor will check that your progress is on track and adjust the trays accordingly.
It is also important to follow the treatment schedule as set out by your doctor. You are expected to wear the trays between 20 and 22 hours a day for the best results. This requires a lot of discipline and compliance, but the rewards are well worth it!
When you first start wearing Invisalign, your teeth may be a bit sore after each change. This is normal and should subside within a few weeks as your tongue gets used to the new environment. You can use softer foods and medicines to help manage this.
Your trays should be changed every one or two weeks, depending on your dentist’s decision. This will help your teeth stay in their proper position and prevent tooth decay.
