When it comes to convenient, hassle-free orthodontic treatment, the name Invisalign® says it all: This remarkable product promises effective realignment of teeth with a nearly invisible technology that makes the traditional embarrassment associated with braces a thing of the past.
The principle behind Invisalign is simple: Patients receive clear plastic mouth trays, known as aligners, that are custom-designed by proprietary software to gently push misaligned teeth into straight, aesthetically pleasing positions. The trays’ incremental changes are based on measurements taken by your orthodontist, and are targeted to achieve your goals within months, rather than years.
There is much that Invisalign patients don’t miss about traditional metal braces. The traditional approach, used for generations, involved metal bonded to each tooth with cement, occasionally supplemented by extremely noticeable “rubber bands” or exterior appliances. Regular visits were required, during which the braces would be tightened, increasing the tension on the teeth. If the braces were applied in the tenth grade, a young patient was lucky to have them off by graduation.
Metal braces interfered with every aspect of adolescent life, from social situations to eating choices. Invisalign, by contract, is hardly noticeable and easy to remove for eating and cleaning. Patients often forget they are wearing Invisalign, which is another dramatic departure from orthodontics based on gleaming 1970s technology.
To start the Invisalign process, Dr. Breziner and his team will take a digital image of your teeth and a series of X-rays and photos. These will be used to create a three-dimensional model that will provide the foundation for the series of aligners that will progressively move your misaligned teeth with gentle pressure. You can actually see a simulation of your new smile with our iTero technology.
Each week you will receive new aligners, which will feature a carefully calibrated spacing for the “bite marks” in the aligner that will hold your teeth and gradually move them. By consistently wearing each aligner, and returning to the dental office for regular monitoring, most patients can reach their goals in six months or less.
