How Does Invisalign Work?‍

The first thing is for patients to book an appointment for consultations with a cosmetic dentist, which then allows for assessment of the patient’s smiles and to decide if they are appropriate candidates for Invisalign treatment.

Next, if the patient meets the criteria, the dental team then completes a series of 3D digital impressions. These impressions create images sent to the Invisalign laboratories, and these labs then create a precision set of trays that will guide the patients through the smile-enhancing process. The number of trays in each patient’s series varies, depending on the severity of the misalignment.

The patient starts with the first tray and it is placed over their natural teeth. It is worn for two weeks before progressing to the next tray, and at the end of the tray series, the smile for the patient would have improved and become more beautiful.

Each tray is worn for at least 20 hours per day, and after the trays are removed, patients can maintain their normal oral health and wellness routines, such as flossing and brushing as they normally would.

Benefits Of Invisalign Braces.‍

• It uses removable trays to straighten the teeth instead of brackets glued to the teeth and connected with wires.
• It provides precise, non-complicated treatment as digital imaging is used to create the trays.
• Invisalign allows patients to have an improved smile without having to hide behind metal appliances, as seen in traditional braces.
• Invisalign trays are removable, hence patients can brush and floss as usual, easily maintaining their oral health.
• It is more discreet and is cost-effective for quality when compared with traditional braces.
• It is also a good alternative for teenagers or adults who can easily understand the importance of complying with their treatment including adhering to the instructions of their dentist.

How Often Do I Need To Visit The Dentist After Getting Invisalign Braces?‍

Visits to the dentist are usually routine and it is just so the dentist can evaluate the progress of treatment and also to ensure that the treatment is working as expected, unlike traditional braces treatment where patients will have their wires tightened and adjusted with each visit. 
However, if patients do not comply with treatment properly, there may be delays in their treatments, with additional costs incurred.

Cons Of Invisalign.‍

• It could turn out to be more costly, especially with recurring bills for patients who do not adhere to the instructed treatment practices.
• The trays could also get lost or broken, which could also lead to more money and time spent on treatment.
• It has been reported in some cases to cause mouth discomfort and achiness
• Others have reported a loss of weight
• The trays also are susceptible to getting stained easily
• Food could get stuck in between the trays causing the patient to want to brush their teeth multiple times a day.

What Next After Getting Invisalign Braces?‍

When treatment is complete, a retainer is usually placed afterward, which helps to reinforce the new positions of the teeth to prevent the teeth from shifting again.
