If you want to see your uneven teeth corrected, but don’t want to wear metal braces, then we could offer a cosmetic alternative. With Invisalign®, we can correct your uneven smile with clear and removable orthodontics. In today’s blog, your Riverside Dental Group team talks about the Invisalign® system. You can enjoy a clear and comfortable way of addressing misalignment, one without the need for metal braces!
The Importance of Treating Poor Alignment
If you have misalignment, you should consider seeing our team for treatment. Otherwise, poor alignment can change your smile in negative ways, impacting your appearance and also leading to issues with bite function and even oral health. Poor alignment makes thorough brushing and flossing difficult, and your smile is at greater risk of tooth decay and gum disease. The strain on your bite could also lead to complications like TMJ disorder and bruxism (teeth grinding). We also want to help you feel confident in your smile, so you are confident in social situations! For teens and adults, we can offer a clear path to smile correction with Invisalign®.
Creating Custom Plastic Aligners
To begin the treatment process, our team will take detailed digital images of your bite from multiple angles. We will then use these in a lab setting to design and craft the aligners, so each set is custom-made for your smile. You can then start your treatment process. The procedure involved wearing your aligners for about 20 to 23 hours a day on average, over a period of about two weeks. You then repeat this with the subsequent aligner sets until you obtain optimal results, which could take as little as one year.
The Invisalign® Aligners
Each aligner set is made from a clear material and is easy to clean with soaking and brushing. You can also remove them! Since they are not affixed to your teeth like braces, you can take them out before meals, prior to brushing and flossing, and even before special occasions. Just as long as you wear them for the minimum amount of time we recommend! If you have any questions about how we correct your uneven smile with our clear and comfortable Invisalign® aligners, then contact our team today to learn more.
