What Is Invisalign and How Does It Work?
In short, Invisalign is a form of transparent aligner frequently used as an alternative to traditional metal braces. They are custom-made using a mold or 3D image of the patient’s teeth and are a specific brand of transparent aligner. Invisalign is similar to braces, providing constant pressure against the teeth to usher them into the correct or desired positions. Depending on the circumstances, Invisalign can be used to improve the cosmetic appearance of a smile, the health and ease of teeth cleaning, and the feelings of pain or discomfort someone feels.
Invisalign is often an attractive alternative to braces because they are clear, appearing more natural or less obvious than metal or ceramics. While transparent aligners cannot be used in every case someone uses braces, they can be used in many circumstances. We recommend you speak with your orthodontist and dentist about your options, as they can point you in the right direction.
Is Invisalign the Right Choice for Me?
There may be some limitations regarding the use of Invisalign, meaning braces may be a more beneficial option. In some cases, you can start with braces and switch to Invisalign once more extreme issues have been appropriately addressed, though you should talk with your orthodontist about your options.
Invisalign can correct bites, misaligned teeth, pain and discomfort, and other issues. The younger you are, the more likely you can use Invisalign, as teeth in adolescence are more plastic and flexible to changes. In some cases, adults may be able to use Invisalign.
What to Expect During the Invisalign Process in Florida
The process of obtaining and maintaining your Invisalign aligners will vary depending on your circumstances, but typically, it includes an initial consultation and a custom treatment plan. Your orthodontist will get a scan or 3D model of your teeth and create a unique aligner for your needs and goals. The time you wear your aligner will vary from three to 18 months. You will likely need regular check-ups and adjustments with your dentist and orthodontist.
How to Care for Your Invisalign Aligners
As with braces and other aligners, you must avoid certain foods and drinks while wearing your Invisalign aligners. You will also need to remove your Invisalign every time you eat, as your aligner is not made for pressure undergone during chewing. Cleaning and replacing your aligner after each meal or snack may also be necessary.
If your aligners are damaged or lost, you must talk with your orthodontist about repairs or replacements.
Cost and Insurance Considerations in Florida
Often, insurance companies will help cover significant costs related to Invisalign and other aligners. Furthermore, Esteem Dental can work with you to establish a financing plan. We want you and your family to feel comfortable working with us and getting the smile you want.
