If you don't like your smile because of your teeth and you keep shying away in conversations with friends, then you need to do something that will change that condition. A beautiful pearly smile and a satisfied grin are what you need but in order to achieve that you need to get familiar with the treatment called Invisalign. The treatment is done by wearing invisible aligners made of a thermoplastic material which are very similar looking to the teeth-whitening trays. They are a better alternative than the braces and are a custom made just for you. Here is everything you should know about the Invisalign treatment.
It is a process in which you are supplied with a series of aligners and each of them will make slight adjustments to the tooth position. In fact, during the Invisalign treatment, your teeth will move to the desired position in several weeks. Each of the aligners is placed for a 2 week period, after which you graduate to a new aligner. However, they must be worn 22 hours each day and you may remove them when you eat, brush or floss and you must see the dentist every 6-12 weeks for monitoring and aligner delivery.
But how would you know if the Invisalign is the right treatment for you? You must see your dentist and have your teeth examined. There are several cases which are fit for the treatment. For example, if you have an overbite which is a case where the upper front teeth close in front of the lower teeth, or underbite which is the case where lower teeth protrude past upper the front teeth. Furthermore, if you have crossbite which is a case where upper and lower jaws don't line up or gap teeth which means you have extra spaces between teeth, the Invisalign treatment will greatly help you. Another treatable case with Invisalign is the crowded teeth case when there isn't enough room in the jaw for teeth to fit normally.
When it comes to the benefits, they are huge and have a clear positive effect on your life. As the Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible no one will notice that you have them, so they can easily fit in your lifestyle. They won't cause irritation to your mouth as there are no metal brackets or wires. Also, the process includes a possibility to view your virtual results and treatment plan before you start so you can see the end result by the help of the specially designed Invisalign software.
Finally, you need to know how to take care of your aligners properly. The best way to keep them clean is by using the Invisalign Cleaning system which can be purchased online or by the dentist who will carry out the treatment. Or, you can simply brush them and rinse them in lukewarm water. Having the perfect smile is surely a valuable investment which will bring you happiness, confidence and eager to smile from ear-to-ear.
