How Invisalign Works

The teeth are gradually shifted into their new, more attractive orientation using a series of clear plastic aligners. These are designed based on a scan of a patient’s mouth and refined with the expertise of one of our dentists. You’ll wear a set of trays for about 20-22 hours a day for two weeks each before progressing to the next one. When you reach the end of the series, you’ve reached the smile you’ve been waiting for.

The Benefits of Invisalign

  • Practically Disappears: Even at a normal conversation distance, no one will be able to tell when you’re wearing your Invisalign trays.
  • Custom Fit: Every millimeter of each tray will be designed just for you, leading to a smooth fit that doesn’t cause irritation like regular braces.
  • You Do You: You can eat whatever you like and clean your teeth like normal—just take your trays out until you’re done.

Who Can Invisalign Help?

If you are interested in Invisalign – whether it’s to correct a small gap between your two front teeth or more considerable overcrowding – you shouldn’t hesitate to schedule a consultation with Dr. Z. At your appointment, she will conduct a comprehensive oral exam in order to determine the complexity of your case and, in turn, if you’re a candidate for clear aligners. Until then, you can read on to learn more about the common orthodontic problems Invisalign can correct.

Crowded Teeth

If there isn’t enough room in your mouth, your teeth will crowd together, overlapping in the process. Some patients with this orthodontic problem schedule an appointment with us because they aren’t happy with the aesthetic drawbacks. However, even if you are happy with how your smile looks, you should explore your treatment options. After all, crowded teeth can lead to several oral health problems, including tooth decay and periodontal disease.

Gaps Between Teeth

Unfortunately, gaps between your teeth can harbor plaque, food particles, and other debris, just like crowded teeth. That’s why the risk of oral health issues is higher among patients with this orthodontic problem. The good news is that Invisalign is often a solution. If that’s the case for you, then we can close the gaps, improve the alignment of your bite, and give you the gorgeous smile you’ve always wanted – without any metal.

Overbite

If you have a healthy bite, your upper teeth sit in front of your bottom ones. If there is a considerable gap between the two, however, then problems like chronic jaw pain and trouble enunciating clearly can occur. The good news is that moving your bite into proper alignment doesn’t always mean metal braces. Invisalign has helped countless patients with this bite problem over the years with the help of orthodontic accessories, like rubber bands.

Underbite

As we mentioned above, your upper teeth sit in front of your bottom ones. If the opposite is true for you, then you likely have an underbite. Unfortunately, this bite problem can lead to everything from TMJ dysfunction and chronic jaw pain to trouble enunciating clearly and smiling confidently. For all of those reasons, we recommend scheduling a consultation with us to find out if you’re a candidate for Invisalign. We may be able to give you a healthy bite without any metal!

Crossbite

Crossbites are also quite common and, as you may have guessed, can take a serious toll on the look, health, and function of your smile. So, don’t wait until your teeth are chipped or your jaw is hurting to schedule a consultation with us! If you’re a candidate for Invisalign, we can move your teeth and bite into proper alignment, preventing chronic jaw pain, TMJ dysfunction, and other common problems in the process.

Open Bite

When you bite down, is there space toward the front or back of your mouth? If you answered “yes,” then you may have an open bite. Don’t worry – that doesn’t necessarily mean you need metal braces. In mild and moderate cases, Invisalign is often an option!
