These aligners just slide easily over your teeth, stay fixed and give very minor indications that you are undergoing teeth straightening. They give you the advantage to straighten your teeth discreetly.
The Process of Invisalign Treatment
The treatment process of Invisalign is a very simple one. It usually follows a pattern such as this:
-
Attending a consultation:
It all begins with a visit to the dentist or orthodontist. During this visit, the dentist will take photographs and run the necessary scan to help make a plan for your teeth straightening. He will proceed to use an Invisalign software to get the movement of your teeth plotted. After this, the finished treatment plan is then used to design and print your aligners.
-
Getting customised aligners:
Your customised aligners should be available during your next visit to the dentist. Here, your dentist will equip you with all the needed information to undergo a successful treatment with Invisalign. The slingers are fitted, attachments are placed on your teeth which are tooth coloured buttons to help the alignment process. In some cases some gaps are made between the teeth to help the motion.
You will also be told how to clean and care for your braces to prevent them from getting stained, broken or harbouring leftover particles of food. Your dentist, by now may also tell you how long you will be expected to wear the braces for effective teeth straightening.
-
Beginning your treatment with the expected duration:
After your aligners have been fixed in place, you will be expected to wear them for at least 22 hours daily. You will be free to remove these braces when you want to brush, eat or drink anything except water.
-
Having a follow-up visit to your dentist:
During these visits, your dentist will check your teeth and aligners to look at the progress of the treatment and the adjustments to be made.
-
Final removal of braces:
After you have worn your aligners, your dentist will check to confirm its work has been done and your teeth straightening went as planned. If the result is satisfactory, the braces will be finally removed, and you will be given a retainer for use at night.
Retainers are always used to keep the teeth in place so that they may not return to their previous position. People may need to wear these retainers for the long term so the result of the alignment will remain in place.
