Considering Invisalign® for teeth straightening needs? With the help of a general dentist, anyone needing to have crooked or crowded teeth corrected can undergo Invisalign® treatment. This method of teeth straightening is one that offers convenience and ease throughout the process. Keep reading to find out more!
Below is a quick overview of Invisalign® and how it can be convenient for individuals needing their teeth straightened. This information can be helpful to those who are considering different options.
The Invisalign® treatment process is unlike any other teeth-straightening method. General dentists have begun recommending it a lot more, especially for individuals that strictly have crowding or crookedness issues. Recent technological advances have also made it possible for minor bite issues to be addressed. However, moderate to severe bite issues may require traditional braces, as well as other additions, like headgear.
Invisalign® starts out with an evaluation by a general dentist. From there, if the dentist determines that the treatment is possible, scans will be taken of the entire mouth. The scans will be sent to a dental lab where the Invisalign® aligners are custom-created. After a few weeks, the individual can start the process of Invisalign®. Every few weeks, appointments will be required to check progression. Additionally, the dentist will provide the next aligner in the series. On average, Invisalign® takes anywhere from six months to two years.
Invisalign® offers a lot of convenient benefits to the treatment process. Outlined below are some of the most notable.
Although Invisalign® does offer convenience for the wearer, it is important to keep in mind that the results of the treatment depend heavily on discipline. Because the aligners can be removed at any time by the wearer, it can be easy to get into the habit of not wearing them at all times. Of course for certain circumstances like eating, brushing, and special events, Invisalign® can be taken out. However, outside of this, the aligners should be worn for at least 22 hours a day.
When needing to undergo teeth straightening treatment of any kind, the best thing to do is consult with a general dentist. A thorough evaluation can be performed to determine whether or not Invisalign® is a viable option. From there, any questions or concerns can be appropriately addressed.
