What You Need to Know About Invisalign?

what you need to know about invisalign

Are you looking for a way to straighten your teeth, but you don’t want to go through the hassle of metal brackets, wires, and discomfort? Our dentist in SE Calgary has a solution for you! We offer Invisalign in SE Calgary as an alternative to traditional braces to correct your bite and smile.

What is Invisalign?

First off, let’s talk about what Invisalign is. These clear aligners are made from a thermoplastic material and are custom-created for your mouth. 3D scans of your teeth will be taken to create your aligners and map out your treatment plan. These scans can also simulate your results to give you an idea of what your smile will look like once you have completed your treatment.

What Can Invisalign Treat?

Invisalign can treat a wide range of orthodontic concerns. Typically, clear aligners are more suitable for mild to moderate cases. Extreme crowding and misalignment are not typically treated with Invisalign. Your dentist near you will determine if you are an ideal candidate for Invisalign after examining your mouth and taking scans of your teeth. Some examples of orthodontic concerns Invisalign can address include:

  • Misalignment
  • Gaps between teeth
  • Crossbite
  • Underbite
  • Open bite
  • Overbite

What Are the Benefits of Invisalign?

Invisalign comes with a wide range of benefits, making them a popular choice for orthodontic treatment. The benefits include:

  • Fewer in-person visits
  • A discreet treatment
  • No brackets or wires
  • A more comfortable treatment
  • No food restrictions
  • Improved appearance
  • Improved oral health
  • Improved confidence

How Does Invisalign Correct Your Teeth?

Invisalign utilizes a series of trays to move your teeth. You will wear each set for around two weeks or as directed by your dentist. Each time you wear a new set, you will feel pressure on your teeth, which can cause increased tooth sensitivity for a few days. This pressure allows the teeth to move into their desired positions.

Typically, Invisalign treatment can take around a year to two years to complete. However, the timeframe can be shorter or longer, depending on your unique case and how well you follow your dentist’s instructions. An estimated time frame will be provided during a consultation. While orthodontic treatment seems like it takes a while to complete, we can assure you the results are well worth it! You will be permanently left with a beautiful smile. Once your treatment has been completed, we will provide you with a retainer to wear to maintain the new positions of your teeth. It’s important to wear your retainer as directed to avoid your teeth shifting. If you have any questions about Invisalign or would like to learn more, please do not hesitate to contact our office. We will be happy to answer all of your concerns.
