Traditional braces are an effective means of treating misalignment and helping patients enjoy straighter smiles. But did you know we also have a more cosmetic alternative? In today’s blog, your Riverside Dental Group team talks about how we straighten your smile with the clear and comfortable Invisalign® system!
What Does Misalignment Mean for Your Oral Health?
How does misalignment impact your oral health? When we have uneven teeth, this can make thorough brushing and flossing difficult, which increases the risk of tooth decay and gum disease, even if you brush and floss daily. The strain on your bite balance could lead to painful complications like TMJ disorder and even bruxism (teeth grinding). You could also feel less than confident in your smile’s appearance. But we can shift your teeth into proper positions with our clear and comfortable Invisalign® aligners!
Creating Custom Orthodontic Aligners
Our team will begin by examining your smile to assess the cause and extent of your misalignment. We want to make sure this is the best choice for your smile. We often recommend this for teens and adults with more minor cases of misalignment. Our team will take detailed images and measurements of your smile with digital technology, using the information we gather to design and craft your aligners from a clear and BPA-free plastic material. Once your aligners are ready, you can start the treatment process and begin your journey to an even smile!
The Invisalign® Treatment Process
How do these aligners correct your uneven smile? You will start by wearing the first set in the series for about two weeks, 20 to 23 hours a day on average. You then do the same with the rest of the aligners in the series, and continue the process for about a year to 18 months on average, until you see optimal results. They are easy to clean and maintain, and you can remove them before you eat or prior to brushing and flossing your teeth, which makes your daily routine much simpler than if you were wearing metal orthodontics.
