What Are Invisalign Aligners?

Often called 'Invis' for short, clear braces are able to shift your teeth much like regular metal braces but are made to fit over your teeth. As your teeth move, you will get a new set of aligners. What's more, these clear aligners can be removed whenever you need to eat or brush your teeth.

 

Who Should Get Invisible Braces?

Older teens and adults can benefit from these invisible braces since they aren't as bulky or obvious as metal braces. They are trendy enough for teens and practical enough for adults since they are made to fit the individual wearer. If you are constantly active or have more wiggle room in your budget, Invisalign might be a good choice. This could also be a good alternative for anyone with a metal allergy or sensitivity.

 

What Makes Clear Aligners Better Than Traditional Braces?

Some people will need to get metal braces, especially if their teeth have more complex structural issues. For the average adult, they can help correct mild gaps and crooked teeth in a minimally invasive manner.

You won't need to get them tightened like regular braces, and no one will be able to notice you are wearing them. Plus, similar to retainers, you can remove them as needed to eat and brush your teeth. So, if you are a foodie who wants to eat whatever you want, whenever you want, Invisalign is probably a good fit for your lifestyle.

 

The Way Clear Braces Work

Invisible aligners involve getting a consultation from Dr. Bridget Singh first. Dr. Singh will look into your mouth and use a scanner to map your teeth so that the aligners will fit snugly.

After that, Dr. Singh will let you know exactly what to expect from the process and give you tips to help you get used to your aligners. You will have to check in with our team on a consistent basis so that we can monitor your progress. At the end of it all, you might need to get fitted for a retainer, depending on how things look.

 

Are Invisible Aligners Right for You?

Clear braces can give you some quick results. You can also take clear aligners out when you need to. If you are someone with mild to slightly moderate gaps or crooked teeth, you could get a lot of benefits from invisible aligners.
