What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign is an innovative orthodontic treatment designed to gradually straighten teeth using clear, removable plastic trays instead of metal brackets and wires. The clear plastic fits closely over the teeth, making them practically invisible. In fact, many people won't notice that you're under orthodontic treatment.
Invisible clear trays are made from a flexible, clear plastic material. Invisalign clear aligners are removable, which means you can eat your favorite foods, brush and floss your teeth with ease, and even attend social events without worrying about your appearance.
With Invisalign, there's less discomfort and irritation because there are no wires and brackets. Since you don't need frequent readjustments and repairs, dental visits tend to be fewer and shorter. Once your treatment is complete, you'll enjoy a boost in confidence and better long-term oral health.
What Orthodontic Issues Can Invisalign Treat?
As an orthodontic treatment, Invisalign can achieve the same results as metal braces. However, while metal braces use archwire tension to shift teeth, clear aligners work by applying targeted pressure, gradually guiding teeth into their ideal alignment. This method works best on mild to moderate bite issues. Some of the issues we can fix using Invisalign include:
- Crooked teeth
- Crowded teeth
- Gaps in teeth
- Overbite
- Underbite
Invisalign for Teens
Between busy schedules and changing social dynamics, teens have a lot on their minds. Braces may not have to be one of those things. Invisalign clear aligners are a great option for responsible teens. These removable, nearly invisible orthodontic devices will straighten teeth without impacting their smiles or requiring frequent dental appointments. Your teen can easily keep up with their oral hygiene, and the aligners are also safer in sports and other physical activities. All they need to do is commit to wearing the aligners for the required amount to keep up with their dental progress, and your teen can enjoy a straighter, healthier smile for years to come.
Our dentists will examine your teen's smile to determine whether Invisalign would be a good fit for them. We'll talk to you and your teen about what treatment would involve so they'll be equipped to take on the responsibility and make the most of their Invisalign clear braces.
What to Expect With Invisalign Treatment
Your Invisalign treatment process begins with a full exam. Our dentist will evaluate your teeth, gums, and bite to determine if you're an ideal candidate for Invisalign treatment. If our dentist determines that you're eligible for treatment, we will take digital scans of your mouth to create a personalized treatment plan.
At Copperfield Crossing Dental, we use the iTero® Scanner to create a 3D rendering of your teeth's current alignment. From your digital model, we can plan out your Invisalign treatment accordingly and even show you what your teeth will look like at various points throughout your planned treatment.
We will then send the images and treatment plan to an Invisalign lab, where they will create your clear aligners. When your trays are ready, you will return to our office to pick up your first set of aligners and get instructions on how to use them effectively. Generally, you'll wear the trays for at least 22 hours a day and change them out every two weeks. The Invisalign treatment takes about 6-18 months on average, depending on the severity of your misalignment and your treatment goals.
Vivera® Retainers to Maintain Your New Beautiful Smile
When your Invisalign treatment is complete, we will provide you with Vivera retainers to make sure your smile keeps looking its best. These appliances use a material similar to your aligner trays. This allows you to comfortably maintain your results without the need to adjust to a new material.
