Not everyone wants to wear braces, retainers, or nightguards. Many patients opt for Invisalign aligners because they’re efficient, painless, and unnoticeable. Instead of wearing braces with metal brackets and wires, Invisalign’s smooth plastic alignments gradually move your teeth to their ideal positions without pain or discomfort. Rio Dental offers Invisalign in Garland to give you a perfect smile.
What to Expect At Your Invisalign Treatment
If you’re a candidate for Invisalign treatment, we’ll start with photos and x-rays of your teeth to spot any irregularities. Then, using these images, we’ll create a set of aligners molded to your dental arch. Each aligner fits comfortably in your mouth to reposition your teeth and recalibrate your bite. You should wear each tray in a series for 20 to 22 hours a day, for one to two weeks at a time depending on your treatment.
The length of treatment plans varies per person. Some people need to wear their aligners for nine months, while others may need to wear them for 18 months. Either way, once the alignments straighten your teeth, you’ll notice a healthier, brighter smile to improve your confidence, self-esteem, and oral health.
Benefits of Invisalign
If you follow the directions appropriately – wearing your aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day – Invisalign helps fix various dental problems, including
- Crooked teeth
- Overbites, underbites, and crossbites
- Gaps between teeth
- Open bites
- Crowded teeth
Invisalign treatments address multiple dental problems, but you may require additional orthodontic treatments to address other complications, such as severe teeth misalignment or jagged teeth. Still, when paired with other dental treatments, Invisalign is a safe procedure with proven results.
Cleaning and Care
Cleaning and caring for your aligners is easy. Rinse off the aligners with warm water after eating and drinking. Brush and floss your teeth before wearing Invisalign. If you don’t clean the aligners and plastic trays enough, plaque, tartar, and other debris can build up on the surface and cause discoloration.
Since aligners are removable, you can eat and drink any food or beverages. However, when wearing Invalisng, drink only water as other foods or beverages can stain the aligners. Also, avoid smoking or chewing tobacco products with Invisalign, as these can ruin the aligner systems.
