If you would love to straighten your teeth discreetly, achieving this aim has never been easier. Margolian Dentistry provides Invisalign clear aligners that are custom-fitted to gradually move your teeth into the right positions predetermined in your treatment plan.
What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign is one of the best-known clear aligner systems worldwide and is backed by decades of research and development. It uses removable, thin, BPA-free clear plastic aligners that are custom-designed to place just the right amount of force on your teeth.
Over time, your teeth and tooth roots gradually move until they are correctly aligned, and you will enjoy a straighter and more aesthetically pleasing smile.
Invisalign Is Straightforward and Easy to Use
It’s a very popular system because it is so easy to use. You wear your Invisalign aligners for 22 hours daily. We prefer that you only remove them for meals and oral hygiene.
You use every set of aligners for 10 to 14 days, then move on to the next set in the series. Each aligner will move your teeth in tiny increments, following a predetermined treatment plan.
Invisalign aligners in Whitby provide a more discreet and nearly invisible alternative to traditional metal braces. The system can correct a wide range of different issues, including more complex misalignments.
What Are the Benefits of Choosing Invisalign?
Benefits can include:
- Treatment is discreet; most people won’t even realize you wear aligners.
- You don’t need to change your oral hygiene routine since you remove the aligners for brushing and flossing.
- You don’t need to change your diet, as you take out the aligners for meals and when drinking anything other than water.
While we recommend leaving the aligners in for at least 22 hours daily, it is possible to leave them out occasionally if you have a special event. However, we prefer you don’t do this too frequently as it could affect your treatment plan.
Understanding the Invisalign Process
It doesn’t take long to plan your treatment; the process is outlined below.
- The process begins with a consultation with our Invisalign dentist in Oshawa. During this consultation, we examine your teeth, check how they bite together, ask about your treatment aims and desires, and ensure that Invisalign is the right solution.
- We may wish to take digital photographs, x-rays, and a digital scan of your teeth. This process is entirely painless as we simply scan your teeth with a small handheld scanner. It creates an accurate 3-D digital model of your teeth.
- Invisalign software helps us plan your treatment, as we can manipulate the 3-D digital model until your teeth are straight. Using this software and digital smile design, we can create virtual images showing how your smile will look.
- You can view these images, check that you are happy with the predicted results, and get involved with treatment planning. When you are ready, we order your custom-made Invisalign aligners.
- Once your Invisalign aligners in Ajax are ready, you return to our dental office so we can show you how to insert and remove them and ensure they fit properly.
- You will need to return to our dental office periodically for follow-up visits. These are simply to ensure your teeth are moving as predicted and to make any necessary adjustments.
- When you complete your treatment, you will need to wear retainers. Invisalign makes its own retainers that look just like the aligners, except they won’t move your teeth. Instead, they are designed to hold your teeth in the right positions until they settle down, and your jawbone remodels around your tooth roots.
