How Does Invisalign Work?
Invisalign is a cutting-edge orthodontic treatment system that is designed to straighten teeth without the bracket and wire components of traditional braces. The treatment is comprised of a series of clear trays that are made uniquely for each patient, moving the teeth into a straighter position with each aligner.
If we determine you are a great candidate for Invisalign, she will take impressions of your teeth and use special software to create your aligners. During your course of treatment, you'll be given new aligners every two weeks or so. Swap these out as prescribed and attend your checkups every six to eight weeks, and you’ll have a straighter smile in no time!
Who Can Invisalign Help?
Invisalign is suitable for a wide range of patients, including those struggling with mild overbites and moderate overcrowding. That said, the only way to learn if Invisalign is right for you is by attending a thorough consultation with Dr. Sudeep. In the meantime, read on to learn some common orthodontic problems clear aligners can correct.
Crowded Teeth
If your teeth crowd together to the point that they overlap, then you already know how difficult it can be to brush and floss. You’re not alone. In fact, even patients with more mild cases of malocclusion are prone to tooth decay and gum disease. That’s why we recommend exploring your treatment options, like Invisalign! If you’re a candidate, then we can align your teeth with clear, comfortable aligners.
Gaps Between Teeth
Although spaced out teeth are essentially the opposite problem, they pose similar issues, including an increased risk of cavities. Fortunately, Invisalign is usually an option for patients with mild to moderate cases. So, don’t just assume that traditional braces are your only option! With a custom series of clear aligners, we can close the gaps, giving you a healthier and more beautiful smile.
Overbite
Although your upper teeth should sit in front of your lower ones, problems can arise if they jut out too far. In fact, many patients with overbites struggle to smile confidently and enunciate clearly. The good news is that Invisalign has proven to be effective at correcting common bite problems as well. So, if your bite isn’t aligned properly, take the next step: schedule a consultation with us.
Underbite
What if your lower teeth sit in front of your upper ones? Is Invisalign an option? It’s possible. Although the only way to know for certain is by scheduling a consultation, many patients have used Invisalign to correct this common bite problem. So, your road to a straighter, healthier smile may not involve any metal at all!
Crossbite
If some – but not all – of your upper teeth sit behind your lower ones, you may have a crossbite. Although this bite problem isn’t as talked about, it can negatively impact your life in more ways than one. Luckily, Invisalign aligners are often a solution, particularly when they are used in tandem with additional orthodontic accessories, like rubber bands and buttons.
Open Bite
When you bite down, your upper and lower teeth should come together evenly. If they don’t, then you likely have an open bite. One of our biggest concerns is that more pressure is placed on certain teeth, increasing the chances of your enamel chipping or cracking. With Invisalign, we can guide your bite into a healthier position, potentially saving you from a serious dental injury.
Benefits of Invisalign
Invisalign comes with a variety of benefits, from esthetics to convenience, to comfort. Here are some of the reasons why our patients love this unique clear braces system:
- Completely discreet. The clear aligners are entirely see-through - most won't be able to tell that you are even wearing them.
- Designed for removal. Unlike metal braces, Invisalign can be easily removed for mealtimes, toothbrushing, and even special occasions. As long as you wear your aligners for 20-22 hours a day, your teeth will straighten just fine!
- Eat whatever you want. Metal braces come with a lot of dietary restrictions but Invisalign is made to be removed during mealtimes. This means you can enjoy all the foods you wouldn't be able to with metal braces, like bagels, caramel, gum, and more.
- Easy brushing and flossing. When you're an Invisalign patient, you can brush and floss just as you normally do. Just remember to brush your clear aligners to keep them clean between meals.
How Much Does Invisalign Cost?
Your total Invisalign cost will heavily depend on the length of your orthodontic treatment. Since no two patients are the same, you must attend your consultation to determine your projected treatment time and investment.
Sunnyvale Family and Cosmetic Dentistry makes it easy to afford your Invisalign treatment. If you are in need of financing, our friendly staff can help get you set up in a no-interest or low-interest monthly payment plan with CareCredit®.
