More Faqs About Invisalign Questions

The most advanced teeth straightening method in the world

The Invisalign system: what is it?

The almost invisible Invisalign clear aligners are a great approach to straighten your teeth and get the smile you’ve always wanted. Based on your dentist’s recommendation, we can arrange your whole Invisalign treatment, from the starting position of your teeth to the desired ending position, using cutting-edge 3D computer imaging technology.

 

The teeth are then gradually moved using a sequence of transparent Invisalign aligners that are manufactured specifically for you and you alone. Each aligner in the series is worn for one to two weeks before being changed out for the following one, gradually bringing your teeth into the predicted ultimate position. Depending on your unique needs, your dentist will decide how long your Invisalign treatment will take.

What are the benefits of the Invisalign system?

Invisalign clear aligners are nearly invisible. No one may even notice that you’re wearing these virtually invisible aligners, making Invisalign treatment a seamless fit with your lifestyle and day-to-day interactions with others.

 

Invisalign clear aligners are removable, giving you the flexibility to eat and drink what you want during treatment. You can also remove the aligners to brush and floss as you normally would for fresh breath and to maintain good oral hygiene.

Is this a new method of teeth straightening?

For many years, dentists and orthodontists have employed detachable appliances effectively.

Even before they begin treatment, patients may view their whole treatment plan thanks to the innovative ClinCheck® programme.

How recent is the Invisalign clear aligner system's technology?

Dr. H.D. Kiesling predicted in 1945 that advancements in technology will one day make it possible to utilise a variety of teeth positioners to provide the motions necessary for full-fledged orthodontic therapy. This dream has come true thanks to Align Technology. Align Technology manufactures a line of personalised Invisalign clear aligners using cutting-edge computer technology. The patient wears each aligner in turn to gradually reposition the teeth in both the upper and lower arches.

How many individuals are currently being treated with Invisalign clear aligners?

Invisalign clear aligners have now been used to improve the smiles of over 6 million people across the world, and that figure is only expected to rise.

What is the price range for Invisalign treatment?

Invisalign clear aligners cost as much as traditional braces depending on the degree of correction needed and the length of time you commit to wearing them. The price is usually about the same as that of conventional fixed braces.

The number of Invisalign aligners required to straighten a patient’s teeth depends on the complexity of their case. On the other hand, fewer Invisalign aligners are required for simpler straightening procedures. Therefore, the cost of Invisalign varies depending on the number of aligners your dentist recommends.

This means that the only person who can provide you an accurate quote is a dentist or orthodontist who is a registered Invisalign Provider. Read on for details on how much your Invisalign treatment will set you back.

 

What is the science behind the Invisalign clear aligner system?

Invisalign transparent aligners are designed to gently and gradually shift teeth into position. The amount of movement per aligner and the timing of that movement are both under the patient’s control during Invisalign therapy, which is not the case with traditional braces. Therefore, only the teeth designated for movement in the next stage of treatment will be allowed to do so. This produces a highly effective force delivery method for repositioning teeth.

How do Invisalign aligners look like, and what are they made of?

Invisalign’s transparent aligners are composed of a medical-grade thermoplastic that is both practically invisible and extremely durable.

Can I get Invisalign treatment from any dentist?

Although Invisalign clear aligners can be used with any treatment philosophy, specific education is required to do so effectively. Invisalign requires all dentists and orthodontists who intend to treat patients with their transparent aligners to first complete training to ensure they are familiar with and comfortable with all of the necessary procedures. There are currently over 82,000 dentists and orthodontists who have been trained to use Invisalign transparent aligners on their patients.

When it comes to Invisalign, what is the youngest age that a patient may be?

Most adults and teenagers with malocclusion can be helped by an experienced Invisalign dentist or orthodontist using Invisalign transparent aligners. To find out if Invisalign Teen is appropriate for your adolescent, consult with an Invisalign Provider.

Once Invisalign treatment has begun, how frequently am I required to see my dentist?

Because no wires or brackets need to be adjusted during Invisalign appointments, patients can expect to spend less time in the dentist’s or orthodontist’s chair overall. Every four to six weeks, patients see their Invisalign dentist to obtain a new set of aligners and check on the treatment’s progress. The decision will be made by your Invisalign dentist or orthodontist during your treatment.

Treatment with Invisalign — how long does it take?

Treatment times are equivalent to those of conventional braces but vary depending on the complexity of the patient’s case. Between 3 and 18 months may pass during treatment. More information will be provided by your Invisalign dentist or orthodontist during your consultation.

Is it unpleasant to get Invisalign?

At the start of each new stage of treatment, when a new Invisalign aligner is inserted, some patients may suffer transient, moderate pain for a few days. This is typical, and it usually manifests as a suffocating sensation. This indicates that the aligners are doing their job and progressively shifting your teeth towards the desired end position. This pain usually subsides after a few days.

How does Invisalign work with TMJ?

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is the joint between the jaws. Appliances and treatments, such as Invisalign clear aligners, may help, hurt, or have no effect at all on the many jaw joint issues that might arise in people with a TMJ disorder.

Your Invisalign dentist can tell you if your TMJ disorder will interfere with your treatment.
