What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a modern orthodontic system that uses customized clear aligners to straighten teeth. They are fabricated from smooth, BPA-free plastic that’s nearly invisible when worn. The aligners apply constant pressure to your teeth, moving them to perfection over time.
Invisalign can address:
- Spaces between teeth
- Misaligned or crooked teeth
- Crowded or overlapping teeth
- Overbites, underbites, cross bites, and other malocclusions
Orthodontic issues can affect your oral health and aesthetics. Good news! Clear aligners can help you achieve a healthy, perfectly aligned smile. The system is effective, hassle-free, and transformative.
What can I expect from Invisalign treatment?
Everything starts with a consultation with our Invisalign dentist. He’ll discuss your goals and inspect your teeth to determine your eligibility for Invisalign. If so, he’ll use a comfortable scanner to take impressions of your teeth. Using these images, Dr. Mustafa will create a customized treatment plan, showing how your teeth move in every treatment stage.
Our Invisalign lab will create aligners that meet the exact specifications of your teeth. Although removable, they must be worn for 20-22 hours daily. Patients should only remove them during meals or teeth-cleaning sessions. Every two weeks, you’ll switch from one aligner to the next.
Many patients achieve the desired results within 6-18 months.
Once you finish treatment, we recommend wearing a retainer to maintain your teeth’s alignment. Otherwise, your teeth may relapse into their former misaligned positions.
What are the benefits of Invisalign aligners?
Conventional braces work but have several cons—metallic appearance, dietary restrictions, and gum irritations, just to name a few. Invisalign is the perfect way to straighten your teeth without putting your life on hold.
Its benefits include:
- Discreetness: Teens and adults choose Invisalign because the aligners are nearly invisible when worn. You’ll maintain your professional appearance, whether you’re a businessperson, corporate executive, or anyone insecure with metal braces.
- Comfort: Traditional braces have sharp wires that can irritate gums and cheeks. Invisalign is made from smooth plastic, which improves comfort while straightening teeth. Patients only experience mild tightness for a day or two after moving to a newer aligner.
- Removable convenience: Clear aligners are designed to move your teeth, not your life. Their removability means you can eat all your favorite foods and clean your teeth without restrictions.
- Fewer dental visits: Traditional braces need frequent visits to the dentist to adjust the wires and brackets. Invisalign patients enjoy a more flexible schedule. You only need to see the dentist every 6-8 weeks to monitor your treatment progress.
While many clear aligner brands are available, none compare to Invisalign. Crafted from scientifically advanced SmartTrack material, Invisalign aligners deliver superior results while ensuring optimal comfort. Patients consistently report high satisfaction and renewed confidence in their smiles.
