What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a revolutionary orthodontic treatment that uses clear aligners to straighten teeth. Unlike traditional braces, these custom aligners are virtually invisible, offering a discreet alternative to braces for teens and adults. Each aligner is crafted using advanced digital impressions to ensure a precise fit for your unique smile.
The Benefits of Invisalign
Choosing Invisalign offers numerous advantages:
- Discreet Orthodontics: The clear aligners are nearly invisible, allowing you to maintain your natural smile throughout treatment.
- Comfortable Aligners: Made with smooth materials, Invisalign reduces the irritation often caused by metal braces.
- Removability: Eat, drink, and clean your teeth without restrictions by removing your aligners as needed.
- Effective Smile Correction: Address issues like crowding, gaps, overbites, underbites, and more.
- Modern Orthodontics: Benefit from the latest advancements in teeth alignment technology.
How Invisalign Works
The Invisalign treatment process starts with an initial consultation at Indigo Dentistry. Here's how it works:
- Consultation: Dr. Collier will assess your dental needs and discuss your goals for teeth straightening.
- Digital Impressions: Advanced scanning technology creates a 3D model of your teeth for precise aligner fabrication.
- Custom Aligners: You'll receive a series of aligners tailored to your treatment plan.
- Progressive Adjustments: Every two weeks, you’ll switch to a new set of aligners that gently shift your teeth into the desired position.
Invisalign vs. Traditional Braces
Many patients wonder about the differences between Invisalign and braces. Here’s a quick comparison:
- Appearance: Invisalign aligners are clear and discreet, while braces use noticeable metal brackets and wires.
- Comfort: Invisalign is made with smooth, BPA-free plastic, while braces can sometimes cause irritation.
- Maintenance: Invisalign aligners are removable, making it easier to maintain oral hygiene compared to braces.
