Invisalign is a great new innovation in dentistry that allows you to move your teeth without having metal brackets on your teeth. In stead, at We Make Smiles, we use a series of clear trays that gradually move your teeth into the right position. If you're ready for a smile that transforms your appearance, Invisalign could be your answer.

Benefits of Invisalign

If you're ready for a smile that transforms your appearance, Invisalign may be your answer. Although there are many choices out there, no other works as effortlessly as the Invisalign system. Check out the benefits below:

Invisible, so no one can tell you're straightening your teeth.

Removable, so you can eat and drink what you want while in treatment, plus brushing and flossing are no problem.

Comfortable, because it has no metal to cause mouth abrasions during treatment. And no metal and wires usually means you spend less time in your doctor's office getting adjustments.

Customized, so it is perfectly aligned with your teeth.

 

Applications for Invisalign

Invisalign is helping to correct a broad range of dental and orthodontic issues. And there are over half a million smiles to back that up. But a confident smile isn't the only benefit of correcting your dental issues with custom-made Invisalign aligners —your health can be positively impacted as well. Here are some common issues that we can work with you to correct.

Overly crowded teeth: This occurs when there is simply a lack of room within your jaw for all of your teeth to fit normally. When left untreated, overly crowded teeth can cause dental decay, an increase in chances of gum disease, and can prevent the normal function of teeth.

Widely spaced teeth: This occurs with abnormal continued growth of the jaw bone. When teeth are missing, this issue can also be caused by the other teeth shifting due to extra space. Spacing issues in teeth can cause some periodontal diseases.

Crossbite:This occurs when the upper and lower jaws are both misaligned. It causes one or more upper teeth to bite on the inside of the lower teeth, and can happen on both the front and/or the sides of the mouth. This issue can cause wear of the teeth, gum disease, and bone loss.

Overbite: This occurs when the upper teeth bite over the lower teeth. It's typically caused by either genetics, bad oral habits, or over development of the bone that supports the teeth. This issue can lead to gum problems or irritation, wear on the lower teeth and painful jaw and joint problems.

Underbite: This occurs when the lower teeth protrude past the front teeth. It's usually caused by undergrowth of the upper jaw or overgrowth of the lower jaw. It can also be caused by missing upper teeth. This issue can prevent the normal function of front teeth or molars which can lead to tooth wear. It can also cause painful jaw and joint problems.

Treatment Procedure

The process begins with a dental consultation to discuss the options to treat your particular issue. Once we confirm that your issue can be corrected with the Invisalign system, you will receive a detailed treatment plan that determines how each of your aligners will change throughout your program.

If selected, your Invisalign treatment will consist of a series of aligners that you switch out about every two weeks. You remove them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. The aligners gently move your teeth into position, and at the end of each two-week period, you "graduate" to the next set of custom aligners. You will visit us about once every 6 weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned.

Each aligner is individually manufactured with exact calculations to gradually shift your teeth into place. And since your Invisalign system is custom-made for your teeth, you know you'll end up with a smile that truly fits.

Total treatment time averages 9-15 months and the average number of aligners worn during treatment is between 18 and 30, but both will vary from case to case. But you don't have to wait until you complete treatment to see your smile change—you may start seeing positive changes early in the process. And at the end of your treatment, you'll be showing off a smile you never knew you'd have before you had Invisalign.

Before you schedule your consultation with us, it's a good idea to take the self-assessment to figure out if the Invisalign system is for you. Then take the results with you to your initial consultation.
