Invisalign® clear aligners
What is invisalign?
Invisalign is a series of custom-made plastic aligners which align your teeth in all directions. Invisalign aligners fit over your teeth but are clear and thus invisible. It is a result of 20 years of research and the experience built over 5 million cases.
Advantages of Invisalign.
- As it’s invisible no one may notice that you are taking orthodontic treatment.
- Invisalign aligners don’t interrupt your life and fit well with you. You can actively participate in all types of activities as you used to do before.
- Invisalign aligners don’t hurt the soft tissues of your mouth.
- With braces you may have more emergency visits to the dentist due to broken or dislodged braces; however, you can skip that with Invisalign aligners.
- More comfortable: You can take out your Invisalign aligners when you want to eat or when you want to brush.
- You can continue eating all types of foods as you used to enjoy before.
- You can maintain your oral hygiene like before, with no fear of new cavities or bad breath.
- You don’t need any physical impression of your teeth with a sticky material for Invisalign aligners.
Procedure
- To begin with, we take a 3-D image of your smile using the iTero Element scanner.
- Using the software, we fine tune the impression of every tooth to make sure you get the best smile.
- We´ll then show you your future smile virtually. You will be able to see precisely the kind of smile that you will be getting. Once you are happy, we make custom-made aligners to align your teeth.
- You wear each aligner for a week or two and move to the next aligner. The Invisalign aligner gently moves your teeth into the place where the new/next aligner fits rightly. You may feel some pressure when you wear the new aligner, but that’s normal.
- Once you complete your treatment, you need to wear retainers for a specific period to maintain the new improved smile!
How Invisalign treatment works?
Tips
- If you remove your Invisalign aligners when you have food, remember to brush your teeth before you wear them back. It helps you maintain your oral hygiene.
- For best results wear them for 20 to 22 hours a day.
- Clean your aligners every night and wear them back.
