Invisalign is a new approach for straightening your teeth, improving your bite, and giving you a healthy, confident smile. With advanced technology, an Invisalign dentist offers patients a customized teeth-straightening solution that is more precise and designed to keep the teeth moving into the right position.
The Invisalign dentist uses an intraoral scanner to create 3D models of your teeth, which are arranged to replicate your bite on a computer screen. Each tooth is then individually moved – on the screen – to adjust your bite and create a plan for your actual dental treatment. This essentially helps to create the path of least resistance to move your teeth to the desired position, even before your treatment begins, which increases the success rate and reduces treatment time.
Here are some other benefits of Invisalign:
- Improved hygiene – Since the clear aligners are removable, you can easily brush and floss your teeth like normal. There are no blind spots for bacteria to hide, which reduces the risk of white spot lesions. Moreover, if your teeth are prone to white spots or cavities, your custom aligners can be supplemented with fluoride to harden your tooth enamel and help to clean the trays.
- Aesthetics – The transparent trays are virtually undetectable in your mouth, which means that you can go on with your social life like normal, throughout the period of your treatment.
- Comfort – There are no cuts, abrasions, or awkward adjustments associated with the wires and brackets of traditional braces. This makes clear aligners comfortable and convenient for most people
