Weston Dentist - Invisalign Clear Braces

Invisalign in Weston, FL

 

Most people dream about a perfectly aligned smile. However, orthodontic treatment is often necessary to achieve this goal. Fortunately, Invisalign has made it possible to accomplish it without any discomfort.

 

Traditional orthodontic treatments involve wearing braces and metallic wires in the mouth. This is a significant downside for most people. Metallic appliances not only are uncomfortable, but they can also compromise the patient's aesthetics throughout the treatment.

 

However, all these issues are prevented through Invisalign instead of regular braces. Contact us at Advantage Dental Weston to learn more about Invisalign and begin your journey toward a perfect smile.

 

 

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign refers to the clear aligners designed by the company Invisalign®.

 

Clear aligners are an alternative to traditional orthodontic treatments. This system consists of using clear trays or splints instead of braces to move the teeth into the desired position. Furthermore, Invisalign aligners are made of a transparent thermoplastic material and fit your teeth tightly. Thereby, they are hardly noticeable.

 

Also, the trays are not bonded to teeth and can be freely removed by the patient at any time.

 

Each Invisalign tray is custom-made for the patient. The dentist needs to take a digital impression of your mouth and process it through high-tech software to design the case and the clear aligners.

 

Lastly, Invisalign can treat multiple malocclusions in both teens and adults, such as teeth crowding and overbite.

 

How does it work?

Invisalign works under the same principle as traditional braces. The clear aligner applies pressure to the teeth at a specific point and direction to shift them into a new position. Each Invisalign treatment uses multiple aligners in sequential order to steadily move the teeth.

 

The clear aligners are designed to slightly misfit your dental arch. Therefore, they apply pressure and move the teeth until they match the aligner's shape. Once this happens, the current clear aligner must be replaced with the following on the series. Once again, the new aligner slightly misfits your teeth and forces them to move into a new position.

 

This process is repeated multiple times until your teeth are properly aligned. Nonetheless, you must wear your Invisalign trays for at least 22 hours daily. Otherwise, there might be issues with the treatment.

 

The dentists in our dental clinic in Weston, Florida, are trained to use the latest Invisalign software to ensure the success of your treatment.

 

Clear aligners benefits

Invisalign treatment offers many benefits, such as:

 

●     Comfort:

Clear aligners don't have any metallic wire or sharp edges. The aligners are completely smooth and rounded on the edges. Therefore, they don't hurt the cheeks or lips.

 

●     Aesthetics:

Invisalign trays are made of a clear material. They are hardly noticeable and don't compromise your looks throughout the treatment. Moreover, you can remove them for a picture.

 

●     Oral hygiene:

Since Invisalign is removable, you can take them off to brush your teeth and floss normally. You don't have to use any special appliances as you would with braces. Therefore, you can easily maintain a healthy mouth throughout the treatment.
