What is Invisalign?
UNDERSTANDING THE BASICS
Invisalign is an alternative to traditional braces that uses multiple sets of clear plastic aligners to correct your smile. These aligners are comfortable and invisible when worn, making this a great option for those who would prefer to avoid wearing metal braces. Learn how we can help improve your smile with a free Invisalign consultation at Schaar Dental Wellness.
Why Choose Aligner Treatment?
THE BENEFITS OF INVISALIGN
Invisalign is totally invisible when worn and does not affect speech, making it an ideal choice for older adults. It also provides faster treatment than braces in most cases, and it’s more comfortable since there are no metal components to poke or irritate your mouth.
In addition to this, Invisalign is very convenient. It can be removed to eat and drink, so there are no dietary restrictions. You will also have the convenience of removing your aligners to brush and floss, making oral care more simple. Invisalign won’t hinder your hobbies either, as you can also take out your aligners to do things like play sports or musical instruments with mouthpieces. For all of these reasons, Invisalign is very popular as an alternative to traditional metal/ceramic braces.
What to Expect During Treatment:
Initial Consultation
To begin the process, you’ll need to see Dr. Schaar for a consultation. He will perform a comprehensive oral exam and determine if you’re a good candidate for treatment. We offer complimentary Invisalign consultations at our office.
First Set of Aligners
If you’re approved, Dr. Schaar will use the scans taken during your consultation and work with Invisalign to create your treatment plan. Your first several sets of aligners will be sent to our office within a few weeks, in most cases.
Wearing Your Aligners
Each set of aligners is typically worn for 20-22 hours or longer per day. They should be removed only to eat and drink, and to brush and floss. Each set is worn for about 2 weeks. You will need to come back into our office periodically for a quick oral exam and to get your next few sets of aligners.
Treatment Completion
This basic process outlined in the previous step will continue until your smile has been corrected. Then, you’ll come to our office for a final consultation and get a set of retainers to wear to keep your smile in the proper position. This completes your Invisalign treatment.
