Am I a Good Candidate for Clear Aligners?

If you want straight teeth, we hope to be able to match you with orthodontic treatment that’s right for you. However, clear aligners aren’t right for everyone. Here are some of the requirements for wearing Invisalign:

  • You have only mild to moderate bite and alignment issues. Thanks to advances in Invisalign technology, it’s getting better at addressing more complex issues. However, some problems would be better left to braces, including severe overcrowding, open bites, cross bites, and significant malocclusions.
  • You have healthy teeth and gums. Research shows that orthodontic treatment is ineffective when your gums aren’t in good shape. Inflammation can cause your teeth to rebound after your Invisalign regimen has concluded. Or, worse. You could suffer permanent root damage, demonstrated by one study in Periodontology 2000.
  • You are committed to 22 hours a day of treatment. Your Invisalign retainers can only do their jobs if you let them. While you can take them out to eat, they should be in your mouth the rest of the time. If you get relaxed about having them in, you could spend more time and money getting your dream smile.

 

If you’re uncertain about whether you meet these requirements, please talk with our dentist. We want to help you choose the treatment that’s right for you by prioritizing your long-term health and happiness above everything else.

Invisalign® is the Trusted Name in Clear Aligners for a Reason

You have a lot of options for clear aligner treatment, but Invisalign has always stood out as the brand to beat. Why is that? What’s special about Invisalign?

Invisalign brand clear aligners are made from their own patented material, called SmartTrack. Smart Track is a medical-grade Polyurethane plastic that has been engineered to move teeth more precisely than other clear aligners. It’s also more comfortable and invisible than other brands, so even you can forget that you’re wearing them.

If you need more extensive treatment, Invisalign aligners also use invisible attachments that can provide the gentle, guiding pressure that makes more complex smile changes. Because tooth movement is so effective, you could have the smile of your dreams in less time than you think!

How Long Does Invisalign Take?

How long your treatment takes will depend on the severity of your spacing and alignment issues and your malocclusion. In the most ideal circumstances, you could be in your new smile within six months!

While your teeth may be done moving in as few as six months, you will have to continue wearing retainers. The amount of time that you spend in your retainers will slowly decrease while your teeth are retrained to stay in position. For some people, this can be a bummer. Let us assure you, however, that wearing your retainers is the best way to keep your teeth straight for a lifetime.
