What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a popular orthodontic treatment that uses clear, removable aligners that gradually straighten your teeth and correct several types of dental issues. Unlike traditional braces, which use metal brackets and wires, Invisalign offers a discreet and convenient alternative for achieving a straighter smile.
What issues can Invisalign correct?
Invisalign can correct a range of orthodontic issues, including:
Crowded teeth
When there isn't enough space in your jaw for all of your teeth to fit properly, they may overlap or become crooked. Invisalign aligners can shift your teeth into their correct positions.
Spacing issues
Gaps between teeth can occur due to genetics, missing teeth, or abnormal tooth development. Invisalign can close these gaps by moving your teeth closer together.
Overbite
An overbite occurs when your upper front teeth overlap excessively over your lower front teeth. Invisalign can help align your teeth and jaws to help you achieve a more balanced bite.
Underbite
An underbite occurs when your lower front teeth extend beyond your upper front teeth when your jaw is closed. Invisalign can address this misalignment by moving your lower teeth backward or your upper teeth forward.
Crossbite
A crossbite occurs when some of your upper teeth sit inside your lower teeth when your jaws are closed. Invisalign can correct this by shifting your misaligned teeth into their proper positions.
How does Invisalign work?
Invisalign works through a series of custom-made, clear aligners that you wear over your teeth. They’re designed using advanced 3D imaging technology, which ensures a precise fit and effective treatment.
You typically wear each set of aligners for about two weeks, gradually moving your teeth closer to the desired position. As treatment progresses, you switch to a new set of aligners approximately every two weeks, with each set exerting slightly different pressure to continue the teeth-straightening process.
How long will it take for me to get my desired results from Invisalign?
The duration of Invisalign treatment varies depending on the complexity of your orthodontic issues and your response to treatment. On average, treatment with Invisalign can take 6-18 months to achieve desired results.
Following Dr. Bekov’s recommendations regarding wearing your aligners as directed and attending regular checkup appointments is essential to ensure the best possible outcome within the expected timeframe.
