Invisalign consists of a series of clear aligners that, when used as directed by your dentist, result in perfectly straight teeth. Invisalign performs a similar function to traditional metal braces except they are virtually impossible to notice, you end up with the smile you have always dreamed of having.
Your dentist, using 3D computer generated modeling technology plans the entire treatment plan, from the first Invisalign aligner through the last. Once the treatment plan has been determined, a series of clear aligners are made especially for your specific needs. Each aligner moves the teeth a little, about every two weeks the current aligner is disposed of and the next one is used. This cycle goes on until the desired position is reached. The dentist that develops your plan for Invisalign in Lakeview will determine the number of aligners and the time to complete the process.
* The primary benefits:
Invisalign aligners are made from clear polyurethane material, because they are virtually invisible they are not noticeable in the same way that traditional braces are. Invisalign in Lakeview fit well with your lifestyle and in your daily interactions with other people.
Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign are removable. Invisalign must be worn for 22 hours a day but during the two hours when they can be removed you can enjoy eating whatever you want. Being able to remove the aligners makes dental hygiene easy.
The aligners are smooth plastic, as they have no sharp corners they cannot irritate the inside of your mouth.
* How does Invisalign work?
Traditional braces use a series of brackets and wires to reposition teeth. Invisalign in Lakeview move teeth by placing a controlled force on them. Invisalign not only controls the forces, they also control the timing of the force. During the process the aligners move only certain teeth, those that your dentist determined when the program was initially mapped out.
Due to the removable nature of Invisalign aligners, patients are free to eat what they want during treatment. Not only that, it is possible to enjoy contact sports by replacing the aligner with a mouth guard. By relying on Invisalign to reposition your teeth there are really no restrictions on what you can do.
The use of Invisalign is a great way to reposition and straighten your teeth without having a serious impact on your lifestyle.
