Invisalign 101: Everything You Need to Know

If you’re looking for a hassle-free, practically invisible alternative to metal braces, you may want to consider Invisalign. The world’s leading clear aligner system will straighten your teeth and perfect your smile without impacting your life. A consultation with Dr. Singh will demonstrate what Invisalign treatment can do for you!

What Is Invisalign?

Invisalign by Align technology is a clear aligner system that has taken the orthodontic world by storm. These virtually invisible aligner trays apply gentle pressure to your teeth, gradually moving them into alignment. Invisalign offers a perfect solution for teens and adults wanting straight teeth without dealing with metal brackets or wires. 

How Does Invisalign Work?

The first step to a straighter smile is a consultation with Dr. Singh. She will evaluate your unique needs and take 3D scans or impressions of your teeth to map out your custom treatment plan. A state-of-the-art Invisalign lab will create your custom aligners with incredible precision.  

Compliance is key to the success of treatment. You’ll need to wear your aligners for 20 to 22 hours daily, only taking them out to eat, brush, or floss. About every two weeks, you’ll swap your set of aligners for the next in the series to guide your teeth into position. 

Dr. Singh will see you periodically to ensure your treatment progress stays on track. After achieving the desired results, you’ll need to wear retainers at night to keep your teeth in their new, improved positions. 

What Are the Benefits of Invisalign? 

Invisalign offers numerous benefits, including the following: 

• Versatile: Invisalign can correct various orthodontic concerns, including crooked teeth, spaces between teeth, and problems with the bite, like overbites, underbites, crossbites, or open bites. 
• Effective: Invisalign’s proprietary SmartTrack material and SmartForce features apply gentle pressure, shifting your teeth into position with incredible precision. 
• Practically Unnoticeable: Invisalign’s aligners are virtually invisible, providing a discreet solution to straighten your smile. 
• Comfortable: The plastic aligners are created from a smooth, BPA-free material, which won’t cause friction or irritation like traditional braces with their metal brackets and wires. 
• Removable: Invisalign’s aligners allow you to straighten your teeth without impacting your life – just take them out to eat, clean your teeth, or attend a special occasion. 
• Shorter Treatment Time: Your invisible braces can align your teeth up to 50 percent faster than traditional braces, and you won’t need as many dental appointments. 
• Stunning Results: Invisalign delivers spectacular results while enhancing your oral health and quality of life.
