How does Invisalign work?

Your smile is one of the first things people notice about you. A perfect smile can make anyone look better. Straight teeth are easier to chew with and cause fewer dental problems.

If your family was unable to afford braces when you were a kid, or if your teeth have shifted with age, you may have considered Invisalign. You may have wondered how the product works and if the results would justify the costs.

What is Invisalign

Invisalign trays are made of polyurethane resins which is a type of plastic.  As the name would suggest, one can barely see these trays when they are in a person’s mouth. They are designed to correct the alignment of teeth, and they are considered to be an alternative to braces. 

There is a tray for your upper teeth and a tray for your bottom teeth. The trays have a high molecular weight. This means that they are extremely resistant to impact. 

How They Work 

According to the website: https://www.parkcrossingdentistry.com/services/invisalign/, The trays are customized to an individual’s mouth. The teeth will gradually realign under the pressure of the trays. A person will need new trays every one to three weeks as their tooth alignment gradually changes. 

The Process of Getting Invisalign

Some dentist offices will give you a free consultation, where you can ask any questions that you may have about the process. You can also discuss the price. If you decide the product is right for you, You will make an appointment.

At your initial appointment, they will take standard X-rays of your teeth. They will also make a digital scan of the teeth, along with a mold. A computer program will determine a plan for straightening your teeth. This will enable the Invisalign lab to make the perfect starter trays for you. Your first set of aligners will be sent to you around a week later.

You will wear the aligners all day. When you wear them at night, they can also help to prevent tooth grinding. They are completely removable, so you can take them out to brush and floss your teeth. You can also take them off for that important speech or big date.

The dentist will have you come in at various intervals to check the progress of your teeth. Most people will wear Invisalign for about a year, but it does vary a bit from person to person. You may have to wear a retainer for six months to a year after you stop using Invisalign. 

Advantages of Invisalign 

You can enjoy any food when you use Invisalign because you take the trays out to eat. They are much more comfortable than other kinds of braces. It is also easier to correct an error. In the unlikely event that you get a misconfigured tray, they can just send you the correct one. You will never have to sit in an orthodontist chair while they make painful adjustments.

Invisalign is less expensive than you might think. Your dentist may even have payment plans. If you have a teen who needs braces, you should know that they now make trays that are perfect for people whose wisdom teeth have not yet arrived. 

You only have one smile. Invisalign and meticulous dental hygiene can help you keep it looking great.
