Invisalign If you have alignment problems with your teeth, then you should consider Invisalign. It's an innovative system that can straighten and align the teeth without any metal or wires. Invisalign uses tooth-colored plastic trays to create a virtually invisible treatment plan. At Highridge Dental Care, we have been working with Invisalign for years and are proud to recommend it to our patients to straighten their teeth.What Is Invisalign And How Does It Work?Invisalign is a series of clear, removable aligners that gradually and gently shift teeth over time. Generally, each aligner tray is worn for approximately two weeks before it is switched out for the next one. Invisalign treatment typically takes nine to 18 months, depending on the severity of your malocclusion. Invisalign treatment tends to be quicker than wearing traditional metal braces. We often recommend Invisalign because we know it works! Every day, people just like you are using Invisalign so they can achieve their perfect smile without braces or metal wires. Besides being more cosmetic than traditional metal braces, no one will even notice that you're straightening your teeth with these clear aligners unless you tell them about it! What Are The Advantages Of Using Invisalign?The main advantage of using Invisalign is that it is invisible. Your teeth are straightened slowly and gently over time while you wear your clear aligners. Because the aligner trays are removable, you can eat what you want. There are no food restrictions like there are with traditional metal braces. Invisalign is also beneficial to people who wear dentures. When Invisalign is used in conjunction with a dental implant, the aligner can be customized to move teeth that are not held by natural gum tissue together and close any gaps between them. A great thing about using these types of braces for oral health purposes is that they will never interfere with your ability to brush or floss. This means you'll have better overall hygiene than if an orthodontist had placed traditional metal brackets on your teeth. Brackets and wires may obstruct brushing which could lead to much higher rates of plaque formation over time, leading to all sorts of oral issues like tooth decay and periodontal disease. Since Invisalign clear aligners are removable, you can easily take them out of your mouth to brush and floss as usual. The Invisalign process is a proven and trusted treatment option for most people. It's also customized to your individual needs with the help of our team at Highridge Dental Care, so we can ensure that it fits into your busy lifestyle. We are happy to answer any questions you may have about how this technology works or what kind of results might be expected from an orthodontic consultation at one of our offices.
