What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is an invisible teeth aligner system that gradually aligns your teeth for a period. Instead of brackets and wires, you have a set of custom-made clear aligners precisely made to fit your teeth. You are instructed to switch to a fresh aligner every couple of days or weeks -depending on the treatment plan- gradually moving your teeth into the desired alignment at the end.

Most people will not even notice that you are wearing something like that.

Why it’s usually astonishing for people choosing to do this.

Perhaps one of the biggest reasons that patients decide to go through an Invisalign treatment is its invisibility. The aligners are so clear and smooth that they feel natural as opposed to braces. While in professional work circumstances, events, and mostly in people interactions; you still have echoes of a delightful smile that are not too obnoxious when it looks in the mirror.

Comfort is another great advantage. Sharp brackets or metal wires usually mean cuts inside your mouth, but with aligners, it is highly unlikely. You will definitely feel minor pressure for the first few hours every time you insert a set of aligners, which is more like a pleasant feeling: it means that your teeth are actually moving to where they should be.

Invisalign at Southpoint Family Dental: What makes it different?

At Southpoint Family Dental, the process is completely customized even within the Invisalign program. Treatment plans will be created according to your teeth, goals, and schedule. Every smile is unique.

Basically that will be where the journey ensues with an appointment in which the doctor will assess alignment, and bite as well as general health in your mouth. From there, if necessary, advanced scanning and planning come next. So you will have aligners custom-made to fit your mouth-not generic trays-fit securely and keep the movement on track.

You’ll also have follow-up appointments to monitor your progress, make sure everything is going smoothly, and adjust if necessary.

What else can be addressed by Invisalign?

Many suppose that the only things Invisalign can do are correct minor spacing, however, it is a much more flexible instrument for correcting a multitude of alignment problems. These include:

Crowding of teeth

Spacing between teeth

Overbite or underbite

Crossbite

Open bite

Teeth displacement after braces treatment

Results certainly remain dependent on the complexity of each case, and your dentist will tell you directly what Invisalign can and cannot accomplish in your case.

Living with Invisalign day to day.

For real, aligners are removable, giving one all the freedom to put them away during meals, brushing, and flossing. So the usual list of “forbidden foods” that you find with braces doesn’t apply. You can eat your favorite food without worrying whether you will break a wire or get food stuck everywhere.

Cleaning becomes a breeze since you can simply brush and floss like you always do. Much easier to maintain oral hygiene with Invisalign than with traditional braces.

For best results, the aligners should be worn for most of the day, around 20 to 22 hours daily. All about consistency. Because following the wear time recommended gives you the chance to stay on track in terms of time, more than potentially witnessing improvements sooner.

How many months would you be placed in Invisalign?

Treatment varies from patient to patient. Some patients notice a change right after a couple weeks, while others may take months to even see the result, and sometimes more than a year until the conclusion of the entire process. The beautiful thing is that, when you can see the transition, it feels as if your smile makeover moves super fast.

The dentist at Southpoint Family Dental would let you know how long it is expected to be in your particular case. For one, it ensures that everything is done smoothly for every patient from start to finish.
