Have you considered straightening your teeth with clear aligners? Invisalign in Scarborough makes orthodontic treatment easier than ever by moving teeth with clear aligners instead of braces! But is this innovative treatment right for you? Here's a step-by-step guide on how clear aligners with Invisalign work so you can make an informed decision for your smile.
Understanding Clear Aligners
How does Invisalign move teeth? Very gently, over time, with snug-fitting clear aligners. Here's how you'll move through the treatment process at our Scarborough dental clinic for Invisalign.
- Initial evaluation — Invisalign isn't right for everyone, so our dentists will perform a thorough assessment to determine if it suits your needs. They'll use photos, x-rays, and 3-D imaging to gather information and even show you what your finished smile might look like if Invisalign is right for you.
- Wearing custom aligners — Invisalign creates your custom aligners based on your dentist's treatment plan. You'll wear the aligners for 22 hours per day and change them every two weeks. Compliance with wearing your custom aligners is the key to creating your new smile. Most patients finish treatment in 10 to 18 months.
- Retention — Once your new smile is complete, you'll wear retainers at night to keep your teeth properly aligned.
What Are the Advantages of Treatment with Invisalign?
There are several benefits that Invisalign offers that patients love:
- Discretion — Plastic aligners are clear and nearly invisible. No one will notice your orthodontic treatment.
- Freedom — You'll be free to enjoy all the foods you love without changing your diet since you can remove your clear aligners for meals.
- Comfort — Clear aligners are smooth and easy to wear. Unlike brackets and wires, they don't poke or tear your soft tissues.
- Ease — Brushing and flossing are a breeze when you remove your aligners.
